Best 5 Landscaping Companies in Attleboro, MA

DIY Options vs. Professional Services

Although many homeowners have basic lawn maintenance knowledge, landscaping necessitates more advanced skills. Completing a full-scale landscaping project requires heavy equipment and intense labor. More complex elements, such as irrigation systems or fire pits, require construction and machinery expertise.

Small landscaping projects, such as adding flower beds or removing overgrown plants, can be easy projects to DIY. If you don't have the needed lawn expertise or are looking for a complete yard overhaul, consider hiring a professional.

Hiring a landscape architect or designer helps you avoid expensive mistakes. Professionals have the knowledge and skills to elevate your outdoor living space, recommend cost-effective upgrades, and help you develop a plan for long-term maintenance.

Factors To Consider When Choosing an Attleboro Landscaping Company

Selecting the right landscaper involves finding one with the right experience that also fits your service needs and budget. Consider the following factors when shopping for landscaping contractors.

Services Offered

Consider your lawn's needs when choosing a landscaping provider. Some companies offer lawn care services—such as controlling weeds, mowing, fertilizing, pruning, and mulching—to help with yard health and maintenance. These companies often also offer pest control and tree clearing services.

A full-service landscaper is your best choice if you want to revamp your entire yard or install architectural elements such as fire pits, retaining walls, and sprinkler or irrigation systems. These companies specialize in outdoor designs and upgrades, such as adding hardscapes, gardening, and landscaping rock projects. Some might also provide lawn maintenance services.

Licensing and Experience

Landscapers often have advanced training and certification in areas like outdoor design, lawn maintenance, and horticulture. Your provider should have the appropriate licenses from the Attleboro city government. It might also employ the following certified staff members:

• Certified fertilization or pesticide specialists
• Licensed arborists
• Licensed horticulture specialists
• Licensed or certified landscaping designers or architects

It may also have certifications from professional organizations, such as the National Association of Landscape Professionals and the Professional Landcare Network. These certifications are not mandatory, but a way to show a contractor's commitment to their profession. Your landscaping contractor should be fully insured and bonded. Most providers have liability insurance to protect against bodily injury or property damage. Request an insurance certificate or insurance numbers to verify a company's coverage.

Reputation and Reviews

We recommend checking third-party review sites like the Better Business Bureau to gauge a company's reputation and customer experience. Stay away from companies with largely negative reviews or frequent mentions of delayed projects, poor project results, or unreliable customer service. Try to choose a company with positive customer ratings.

Work Portfolio

Ask for a portfolio of your landscaping company's previous work. Most landscaping and maintenance companies are happy to share projects and designs with potential customers, including before and after pictures. Ask for photos of past projects that are similar to your own design ideas to get a picture of how your project will look.

Sustainability Practices

A landscaping company's sustainability practices are essential. These include water conservation, waste management, and eco-friendly material options. Your provider should select native plant life—such as blue vervain, rough-stemmed goldenrod, and cardinal flower—for best results. Any work on your property shouldn't impact existing vegetation. Your landscaper should advise you of sustainability practices for your project and offer recommendations for reducing maintenance costs, waste, and water consumption.

Cost

We recommend requesting quotes from multiple companies. This allows you to compare rates and services and can even help you negotiate a better price. Many providers offer free consultations to review your outdoor space, discuss project plans, and provide recommendations. Your detailed quote should include information about various project costs, such as labor and materials.

Landscaping Costs in Attleboro

Significant yard work like resodding will cost more than easier tasks like gardening and mowing. Factors such as the size of your yard and the materials you choose will impact your final cost. For larger yards, companies may charge by the acre. Large-scale projects need more labor, which will increase costs. The table below breaks down the average cost of different landscaping services:
