From Vancouver to St. John’s, there are a ton of landscaping companies to choose from. This makes sense. Canadians are busy people, but we also want our neighbourhoods to look tidy and well taken care of — often this means hiring a professional to keep our yards green and our sidewalks clear of snow. Which, of course, leads to the inevitable question so many Calgarians have: how do you choose a professional Calgary landscaper when there are so many out there?

Dedication to Customer Service.

Here at Five-Star Landscaping, we pride ourselves on our dedication to our clients. We’ve been working in and around Calgary for over fifteen years, and we’re honoured to say many of our clients from that first year are still with us. When you’re trying to find a reputable landscaper, ask if they have a list of clients you can talk to. If this is a company you want to work with, they should have many long-term, happy customers who are excited to share their personal experience with the owners and workers.

Over a Decade of Experience.

If you’ve been searching for a Calgary landscaper for a while, you may have noticed that many landscaping companies seem to pop-up overnight and disappear within a month or two. Some Calgarians may not mind looking for a new landscaper every two weeks, but we definitely recommend only choosing a team that’s been around for at least two years. Otherwise you may come home from your winter vacation to find your cheque cashed and your sidewalk still covered in ice and snow.

Year Round Care.

Many landscaping teams only offer summer or winter services. They’ll craft a beautiful yard for you during the warm months, but they don’t offer snow removal. Alternatively, they’ll do an excellent job of keeping your parking lot clear, but they don’t offer lawn care. While it can be tough to leave a company you like, you may want to consider a full-service landscaper who offers year round care. That way you don’t need to coordinate with two different teams.

Finding the perfect landscaper who seems to read your mind and innately understands what you need and want is a challenge to say the least. But you’ll have better luck finding the right fit by choosing an experienced, professional team that offers year round care and is dedicated to customer service.
