Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Feb 12, 2012 7:26 am We are about to engage a landscape gardener and will be spending approx. $35,000 - $40,000 with them. What questions should I be asking, here are some I have thought of - are you a member of any associations. - what are your qualifications - do you have a licence ( I think they do need one if they are doing structural stuff in NSW - can anyone confirm this. - what are your insurance details - when can you commence the job - how long will it take to finish - will you be on site all the time whilst work is being done - do you have employers/ contractors and are they covered by your insurances/ their own insurancess - how long will job take - what is your payment schedule - can you draw plans What else do I need to ask if you engaged a landscaper what deposit did you outlay ( the ones we are considering is asking for 20%, which sounds alto. Also did you sign a contract? Thanks for your help guys k Landscape Design Parramatta We have been doing a large amount of landscape design work in Sydney… 0 3 Need advice on the backyard plan above.
