How to Get an Accurate Quote

  1. Get 2–3 written quotes. Verbal estimates are meaningless — get it in writing before anyone starts work.
  2. Verify license and insurance. Any legitimate lawn care company should provide both without hesitation.
  3. Ask what's included. Materials, labor, disposal, cleanup — get each line item clear before you agree.
  4. Check the warranty. What's covered and for how long? A contractor who won't stand behind their work isn't someone to hire.
