Before you sign

How to hire a landscaper in Oakland

1

Ask for a planting plan with names, so you know what is going in and how big it gets.

2

Irrigation work should come with a licensed irrigator where the state requires one.

3

Confirm drainage is addressed before any patio or retaining wall is built.

4

Ask about a maintenance plan for the first season while plants establish.

Good to know

Landscaper questions, answered

When is the best time to plant?

Fall and early spring in most of the country. Avoid planting in peak summer heat.

Design-build or separate designer?

Design-build firms handle both and are simpler. A separate designer makes sense for large or complex properties.

How much water does a new lawn need?

New sod needs daily watering for the first two weeks, then taper. Your landscaper should leave a schedule.
