The cost estimates we've gotten from different landscapers for our home project vary widely, extremely so. In addition, some landscapers seem more knowledgeable and skilled at some of the aspects (for example: weed control, soil preparation) than other steps in the projects (sprinkler installation). Is it considered OK to have one landscaper do only the first part of the project and the second landscaper to do only the second part of the project, with their knowledge, of course?

Verdant,

I would look at it as a compliment for you to acknoweldge a certain skillset of a particular landscaper and/or company. Knowledge, talents, and estimates can vary greatly. It is most important for you to be satisfied with the end results of your project. You are the one that is spending your hard earned money and you do deserve exactly what you want.

Sprinkler work can require some knowledge and skill and it is best to feel very comfortable with who you hire. The preparation of the soil does not have to be done by the sprinkler company because there is much less skill required for this work. A company that does a high volume of preparation will provide the best deal. They can typically get in and get out in the same day (depending on the size of the project) and will do great work for a great price. Next is the company that provides sod. A company like Lawn Nation is 100% reliable (which is important) and specializes is sod. Sod is a perishable product that needs to be installed the same day. With Lawn Nation there is no question about reliability on the day your sod is to be shipped and/or installed. Lawn Nation specializes on sod so that our high volume sales and installation can benefit you. Not only do we stand behind our products, but we make sure we sell premium quality sod for a great price.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you need any other questions answered.
