Homeowners associations (HOA) and property managers have a lot of responsibilities. One of their most difficult tasks can be ensuring that their community’s landscaping needs are properly met. This often involves choosing the best commercial landscaping service for their community. It’s a task that may sound simple. However, it is much more difficult than many people realize.

Your community’s landscaping is something that you and your residents/neighbors must live with daily. It is also the first thing that visitors and potential residents see when they come to your property. As they say, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”

Bottom line, you can’t choose just anyone to handle your commercial property’s landscaping needs. You need to find a qualified and trusted commercial landscaping service with a sterling reputation. While there are a wide variety of commercial landscaping services out there, not all of them are qualified to meet your community’s needs.

3 Tips for Picking Out the Best Commercial Landscaping Service for Your Residential Community

For an HOA or property manager to pick out the best commercial landscaping service for their residential community’s needs, they must know what they want and what they need. The following are three tips for how to choose a commercial landscaping service that fulfills both those requirements:

1. Qualifications – When you’re choosing a commercial landscaping service, you should ensure that the landscaping businesses you’re considering have the experience and credentials to meet your needs. The last thing you want to do is trust your community’s property to landscapers that are unqualified. Things to look out for include how long the landscaping service has been in business, customer reviews, and company/employee certifications. You should also ask if they have arborists, horticulturists, water management specialists, landscape design experts, and pest control specialists on staff.
2. Local – Your landscapers’ expertise regarding your area’s weather, climate, and native plant life should be second to none. There are nuances involved in providing landscaping services that can mean the difference between keeping a property at its best and failing to allow a property to reach its full potential. Knowing what plant life responds best in a region and how an area’s weather and climate (like drought conditions) can impact the landscape are the type of nuances that can make a big difference between your landscaping thriving or just surviving.
3. Services – When you hire a commercial landscaping service, you want them to be able to handle every aspect of your landscaping needs. You don’t want to have to go to one landscaper for your tree care, another for drought defense, and yet another for water management services. Having one landscaper handle everything ensures that all the work is of the same high quality and that you aren’t constantly having to waste time finding new landscapers for specific tasks.
