Looking for a landscaper who's well grounded in excellence? Here are a few pointers that can help you make an intelligent choice.

1) Make sure the landscaper isn't just a lawn cutter in disguise.
There is a big difference between landscapers and gardeners. If you want to turn your property into paradise, it takes vision and design skills. Beware of landscapers who also specialize in "mow, blow and go!" Showtime creates beautiful properties, not just beautiful lawns.

2) Ask about follow-up maintenance.
Many landscapers do the work and disappear quickly. Their service should be called, "take the money and run." Showtime makes sure your design stays intact, fills in, and maintains its original appeal.

3) Look for longevity servicing your community.
It's important to hire a landscaper who has worked in your community for an extended period of time. Those that do inferior work tend to disappear once everyone catches on. Showtime has been growing in your neighborhood for over 20 years.

4) Is the landscaping crew in-house?
Make sure the work you're contracting is not being sub-contracted out. Showtime personally supervises every project from start to finish and hires employees who work only for us.

5) Ask for references.
Find out where the landscaper has worked. Then, ride by some of the properties and take a look as you drive by. You can tell if it's a Showtime landscape.
