Landscape or general contractors are the folks who are usually called in to actually install the job. They do the heavy lifting.
If you’re daring (or foolish), maybe you’ll try to take down a massive shade tree or regrade a slope or install an in-ground irrigation system or lay out and install a flagstone terrace. Before taking this step, think whether the money you’re saving will be enough to pay for the chiropractor you may need afterwards! But seriously, if you’re not used to this work, you can do a lot of damage to you and your landscape. Don’t be afraid to ask someone for help to create your vision: somebody strong enough, experienced, and knowledgeable; somebody certified, bonded, and insured as well. A reputable contractor has no problem demonstrating his or her qualifications. Getting help isn’t wimpy; it’s only good sense.
In short, let someone else do the hard jobs and do them safely and correctly the first time. These folks can install all your residential hardscape needs like walks and walls. Save the fun and creative parts for yourself. To find a landscape or general contractor, check the yellow pages; ask neighbors; ask at a garden center; check ads in the local newspaper; or copy the number or Web site off a truck parked at another home.
