Custom Landscape Services for Your Home

TrustPatrick connects homeowners with screened local contractors who offer services relevant to outdoor projects, such as landscape design, planting, irrigation, tree work, drainage, grading, and hardscaping. Submit details about your goals and property, and TrustPatrick facilitates a transparent matching process. When available, you may receive up to three estimates to compare before choosing a contractor.

Yes. TrustPatrick is designed to help homeowners compare up to three qualified local companies when matches are available. Comparing contractors can help you evaluate proposed scopes, material recommendations, communication styles, schedules, and estimates. Each contractor should inspect or discuss your project sufficiently to provide a proposal that reflects the work you want completed.

Describe the areas you want improved, the features you are considering, and your primary goals, such as curb appeal, drainage, privacy, lower maintenance, or outdoor entertaining. Include approximate dimensions, existing issues, preferred materials or plants, and a target timeline if known. Photos and notes about access, slopes, standing water, or existing structures can also help contractors assess the project.

TrustPatrick focuses on connecting homeowners with vetted, background-checked local professionals. Screening is intended to reduce the uncertainty of beginning a contractor search, while still allowing you to assess each company for your specific project. Before hiring, review the contractor's written scope, estimate, insurance information, schedule, and any applicable licensing requirements for the work.

Landscape costs vary with project size, site conditions, materials, plant selections, drainage needs, and the amount of labor involved. A planting refresh may require a smaller budget than a project with grading, irrigation, retaining walls, patios, or mature tree work. Ask each contractor for an itemized written estimate that separates design, labor, materials, permits, disposal, and optional upgrades.

Many landscape and exterior contractors handle drainage, erosion control, grading, crushed stone, and related site-preparation work. Common solutions include French drains, swales, catch basins, regrading, and retaining features. The right approach depends on water flow, slope, soil conditions, nearby structures, and local requirements. A contractor should assess the property before recommending a drainage solution.

The best timing depends on the type of work, local weather, material availability, and contractor schedules. Design and planning can begin well before installation. Hardscaping, grading, drainage, and irrigation projects may be scheduled when site conditions allow, while planting plans should account for appropriate installation and establishment conditions. Discuss timing, lead times, and maintenance expectations during the estimate process.

No. TrustPatrick provides a no-obligation process for homeowners seeking contractor options. You can review the companies and estimates you receive, ask questions, and decide whether any proposal is right for your project. There are no paid rankings influencing placement, and you remain in control of selecting a contractor or choosing not to move forward.
