The best contractors aim to meet commitments, but the only reliable way to hold them accountable is through a detailed written contract. In Salt Lake and Davis Counties, reputable landscapers will outline scope of work, payment schedule, start and completion dates, and warranty coverage. Delays from weather or supply chain issues can happen, but a professional will communicate those changes clearly. To avoid disputes, ask for change order procedures in writing — this ensures any price or timeline adjustment requires your approval. If a company resists putting promises in writing, consider that a red flag. A strong contract plus steady communication is your safeguard that promises made are promises kept.
Will a landscaper do what they promised, when they promised, for the price they promised?
