6 Things Your landscaper Won't Tell You in Bayard
A 'per mow' price that doesn't specify cut height, edging, and clipping disposal will slowly destroy your lawn — bermuda and fescue have completely different care requirements and cutting too short kills the grass.
Irrigation system quotes that don't include a backflow preventer test are missing a legal requirement in most municipalities — and the fine lands on you, not the landscaper.
'Grading included' in a hardscape quote doesn't mean proper drainage — ask specifically about slope direction and whether they're tying into existing drainage or creating a new runoff path that might flood your foundation.
