What A Residential Landscape Company Can Do For You

It seems like many landscape contractors want to be all things to all types of customers. They take on a multitude of different kinds of properties and end up delivering mediocre service to all of them. Can a landscaper who one days services a shopping center, the next day a warehouse park, really provide good service to your home on the third day? We do not think so. Only a focused Residential Landscape Companyresidential landscape company can go beyond the expectations of a homeowner customer.

Customer Service

How a commercial property manager and how a homeowner like to be served are uniquely different. For the property manager, the property is an asset to be managed. For the homeowner, it is their home, the place where they spend their free time with their family and friends. The level of service is much more personal. The level of attention and the manner of communication must be different. It is nearly impossible to switch between the two and provide a level of service that adequately satisfies both.

Quality Work

Just like the customer service expectations, the quality of work between commercial properties and residential properties is also different. This is not to say that poor workmanship is acceptable on commercial properties. The level of detail in planting designs on residential properties can be much more complex and varied. Additionally, there are very minute details that must be taken into Residential Landscape Companyaccount such as the time of day a particular customer likes their property serviced or the way a customer wants their hedges pruned for example.

Details Matter

Managing a commercial landscape is all about efficiency. Managing a residential property, while efficiency is also important, is all about details. The owner of a commercial property may rarely see a landscape company’s work. A homeowner sees it each and every day. It is their home and the notice the details. It is the job of the residential landscape company to assure that the details in caring for someone’s home are carried out to the nth degree.
