What to check before you hire
Vesta’s plain checklist for lawn & landscaping pros. General guidance about the trade — not a claim about this business.
Match the service to your yard
Mowing, fertilization, design and installs, and tree work are different skills. Confirm the crew actually does the work you need — not just the easy parts.
Ask about pesticide credentials
In Connecticut, anyone applying pesticides commercially must be registered with DEEP. If chemical treatment is part of the plan, ask who is certified.
Put the schedule and scope in writing
Visit frequency, what each visit covers, and seasonal cleanups should be spelled out so 'lawn care' isn't left open-ended.
Confirm insurance for the heavy work
Tree removal, grading, and hardscape carry real risk. Liability coverage protects you if something goes wrong on your property.
