Trust starts with credentials and transparency. In Utah, landscape contractors should carry an S330 license and current insurance. Ask for both in writing. Check online reviews and request references from recent projects in Salt Lake or Davis County. A contractor confident in their work will encourage you to visit past jobs. Reliable contractors also provide detailed written contracts that outline scope, timeline, payment schedule, and warranty terms. Be cautious of vague bids, large cash-only deposits, or refusal to document agreements. Communication is another trust marker. A contractor who responds quickly, explains choices, and shares updates reduces surprises. Finally, verify details independently—call the insurance carrier to confirm coverage and check license status with DOPL. When documentation, reputation, and communication all align, you can be confident your project is in safe hands.
