How will a landscaper protect my windows and siding during work?

Before work starts, a professional landscaper should walk the site with you and flag vulnerable areas. Common protections include plywood or heavy tarps over windows near cutting, trenching, or chipping; padded ladder standoffs; and temporary barriers when spraying fertilizers or herbicides. Around siding and foundations, crews should control runoff and rinse dust promptly. In Salt Lake and Davis Counties, wind can carry debris—ask for wind-day protocols. Expect written notes in the proposal about property protection, daily cleanup, and who is responsible for incidental damage. Clear pre-job photos, protective coverings, and a named point of contact keep your home safe and give you recourse if something goes wrong.
