Are You A Design Driven Landscape Companies In Rhode Island? Introducing The Upward Spiral
As opposed to most scenery contractors I prefer to discuss the latest model of skid steer rather than discuss charging design fees. As design/build specialists we MUST charge for our design work. I'll explain why in a moment. But first, let's talk about two distinct types of landscape companies in Rhode Island. Design Driven" companies and "Sales Driven" companies.
Help in planting Trees and Flowers. By planting several trees and flowers throughout your front and back yard and in your flower beds, a landscaping company will totally change the appearance of your home. You will no longer have that dull, boring house on the block that nobody appreciates. Now, you can have a bright and vibrant home that is beautifully landscaped.
The total Package: You want a business that does a lot more than the basics. You can trim your own hedges and mow the lawn. You need a one that has the services you need most. A Design team is one of the first requirements for any professional to even be considered.
Reliable Services all the year round. The best part of landscaping companies is that their services are available all year round. Whether you need their help freshening up your home in the winter or summer, their services are at the ready. They can help your home look its best during the worst of seasons!
Another prime consideration is that they have at least some knowledge of horticulture. This could make a lot of difference in the types of plants you receive. Be prepared with a list of what you think you would like to see in your landscape. If they can provide you with a rough sketch incorporating you wishes that is plausible and looks great you are half way there. The more of the things on the list they are equipped to handle the better and cheaper for you.
Each of these factors affects the other. For example, when a client compensates you for your design expertise, they are displaying confidence in you. This show of confidence, trust and respect naturally leads to higher confidence in you. With this increased personal confidence, you inevitably become a better designer with a growing skill set. As your skill set and talent level increases, the level of your clientele increases as well. As your level of clientele increases, your scenery design fee increases. This chain of events and "upward spiral" go on and on and on...
Get estimates as you interview each company. Take the highest and lowest and file them under ridiculous and go for one of the ones that have a middle ground price. It is always safe to assume that the true value of a job is somewhere between the guy who is underbidding and someone who has inflated the bid.
Back to confidence for a minute--one common thread among all the successful landscape designers I have met is confidence. Trust me, when you start getting paid for your time and expertise, your confidence will soar! Your design work will reflect this added confidence leading to a portfolio that surpasses 90% of your competition. At this point, you will attract the most valued clientele-those that expect and want to pay for your design expertise.
