Premium Landscape Services Built Around You

TrustPatrick helps start your search by collecting basic details about your landscape project and connecting you with screened, background-checked local contractors from our network. We do not perform the work ourselves or sell contractor placement. The process is designed to give homeowners a clearer starting point, reduce unwanted outreach, and make it easier to evaluate qualified professionals for their specific needs.

Yes. TrustPatrick offers access to up to three estimates when matching contractors are available for your project. Comparing estimates can help you review proposed scope, materials, scheduling, warranties, and pricing structure side by side. Be sure each contractor is quoting the same priorities, such as plant sizes, irrigation components, drainage work, paver materials, or site preparation, before making a decision.

Landscape contractors may provide design, planting, lawn installation, irrigation, drainage, grading, tree care, patios, walkways, retaining walls, and ongoing maintenance. Available services vary by contractor and project type. During your conversations, describe your goals, property conditions, preferred materials, and desired maintenance level so each professional can confirm whether their experience matches the scope you have in mind.

Include the areas you want improved, your primary goals, photos if available, and any known concerns such as standing water, slopes, damaged trees, or worn hardscaping. Note whether you want design help, installation only, or ongoing maintenance. Sharing your preferred timing, budget range, material preferences, and access limitations helps contractors prepare more relevant conversations and estimates.

TrustPatrick’s value proposition is to connect homeowners with professionals who are screened and background-checked. Screening supports a more confident starting point, but homeowners should still conduct their own due diligence before hiring. Review the contractor’s proposed scope, insurance and licensing requirements where applicable, references, written agreement, payment schedule, and warranty terms to ensure the fit for your project.

Landscape costs vary based on project size, design complexity, site access, grading needs, material selections, plant sizes, irrigation requirements, and local labor conditions. A simple planting refresh differs significantly from a project involving drainage, retaining walls, pavers, and lighting. Request detailed written estimates that separate labor, materials, permits if required, allowances, disposal, and any future maintenance recommendations for clearer comparison.

Timing depends on the scope, weather, material availability, permitting requirements, and site conditions. Small planting or irrigation repairs may take a day or two, while complete landscape renovations can require several weeks. Ask each contractor for a projected start date, work sequence, expected duration, weather contingency plan, and information about how access, cleanup, and plant establishment will be managed.

Not always. Many contractors can help refine a concept or provide design-build services, while larger or highly customized projects may benefit from a detailed plan first. A design can clarify layout, drainage strategy, plant selections, hardscape dimensions, and material quantities. Ask whether design fees apply, whether they are credited toward installation, and what drawings or specifications will be included.
