The Advantages Of Using Professional Landscaping Services For Homeowner’s Associations

If you are a member of a homeowner’s association, you pay well to live in a well- maintained area. It happens at times that the existing landscaper is not being able to maintain the beauty standard that your community deserves. At such a juncture, the HOA will have to appoint a new landscaper.

When in the market for a professional landscaping service, keep in mind that they all have varying standards of expertise. It is a common mistake to choose the very first company that you interview. It is recommended that you meet with at least three companies and procure their quotes. After comparing these, go for the one that offers the best services at the most reasonable price. Experience is also a key factor here; do not go for a greenhorn, choose a company that has been in business for several years and whose portfolio can speak for them.

Here are the most important advantages of hiring professional landscaping services for your HOA:

·      Expertise in a professional capacity: even if you are a green thumb, your enthusiasm and energy will not be sufficient for maintaining the landscape. The main feature of landscaping is attractiveness and functionality, both of which a professional landscaping company will be able to provide by virtue of their expertise and training. This will ensure that your HOA has successful and cost-effective landscaping.

·      Savings on bulk purchases: With a professional landscaping service, they will bring all the materials, tools, and saplings as per the wishes of the HOA. The HOA does not have to worry about purchasing, storing, maintaining, or even insuring things, neither do they have to pay for the fuel of the landscaping machines. It’s all in the contract.

·      Plant survival: Shrubs, trees and turf are costly in nature. If they are not given the right care, they have little chances of survival, especially after planting them afresh. The HOA landscaping company will guarantee the survival of new trees and plants and the HOA will not have to pay for the replacement of perished plants.

·      Liability reduction: The contractor for the landscaping is familiar and conversant with all the federal and local requirements for the environment as well as the necessary precautions for safety. If you hire a contractor, the responsibility will be taken off the shoulders of the association members and the contractor will be responsible for adhering to the guidelines of the state.

·      Reliability: With a professional landscaping company, you need not worry about when the shrubs have to be pruned or when the grass needs to be cut. The contractor will take care of the regular maintenance according to a schedule that is convenient for you.

·      Fertilization, weed control, irrigation: All of these will be the sole responsibility of the landscaping contractor who has the resources to keep the HOA landscape in prime condition. They will bring their own materials and staff, so you can just sit back and relax.

Employing a professional landscaping designing company will enhance the look of your home and also increase its value at the time of selling.
