What Should Look For In A Landscape Worker?

The qualities that are needed for a good landscape worker go far beyond just a strong back or a friendly disposition.  The one thing that is always a big plus is experience.  Experience and years of that experience is the prime quality that is best for any landscape worker.  Continuing education is the next quality or condition that is a benefit in your landscape workers.

You want both speed and quality with a great work ethic when you choose that worker.  It isn’t just the knowledge or experience that makes that employee a great value.  The length of time needed to accomplish the job is of prime importance.

Yes, the compensation is higher for an experienced worker.  But if he (or she) gets the job done faster than a less experience worker which worker actually costs you more? 

Keep in mind one very important consideration is the total crew make-up and the cost to insure that crew.  It doesn’t matter whether it is your in-house crew or one you hire to be provided by an outside vendor you will be paying for that insurance coverage.  If an accident happens you want to make sure that the coverage level will be a true protection.  The minimum coverage required is generally not enough.  If the crew is supplied by a vendor is your property listed for coverage or would you have sue the insurance company to get the protection for any incident?

Landscape workers operate many types of hazardous equipment and need to have the training and experience to keep themselves and the public around them safe during their tasks.

In today’s market place you always want to make sure that you truly understand all of the ramifications of a hiring (in-house or vendor) workers to accomplish projects on your commercial property.  All considerations need to be factored in.

It is almost always a bad idea to go with the lowest bidder or hire based on just the lowest cost per hour.  The experience levels, training and work ethic can make a big difference in real and total costs.

If you choose to hire an outside vendor you want to make sure they truly deliver as promised.  This needs to be well beyond any warm and fuzzy sales promises.  What factors lead you to your last purchases and did they end up living up to expectations.
