Looking for advice on hiring a landscaping company in Maple. Want something reliable for yard redesign and seasonal care, but not overpriced. How do you usually pick a contractor you can trust? Any signs to watch out for or questions I should ask first?

A good way to choose is by checking how clearly they explain their process. If a contractor can walk you through design ideas, timeline, and materials in simple words, that’s already a good sign. I also like when they visit the site before giving a price, because it shows they care about details and not just quick money. Friends of mine recently worked with and said communication was the best part — no guessing, no surprises, and everything was done step by step. They also mentioned the crew kept the place clean and respected the schedule. In the end, trust comes from small things: showing up on time, answering questions honestly, and not pushing extra services you don’t need. If you find a team like that, you’ll probably be happy with the result.
