How to Choose a Landscaping Company in Bergen County
Six questions worth asking any landscaper before they touch your property, including us. We'd rather you compare than guess.
Are they licensed and insured?
Kucharski Landscape & Design holds an active NJ Home Improvement Contractor license (#13VH13234700) and is fully insured. Ask any company for their license number and proof of insurance before they set foot on your property.
A company that can't provide a license number or a certificate of insurance on request.
Is it full-property maintenance, or just mowing?
We handle the whole property on a consistent schedule: lawn, beds, pruning, and seasonal transitions, with the same crew every visit.
A company that only mows and edges but calls it "maintenance."
Can you actually verify their reviews?
We're rated 5.0 on Google, and every review is public and verifiable on our profile.
Testimonials that only exist on the company's own website, with no way to confirm who wrote them.
Is the quote firm, or does it grow once work starts?
We give free, on-site quotes with clear pricing before any work begins.
A vague "starting at" price that climbs once the crew is already on your property.
Do they handle bigger projects, or just basic upkeep?
We're comfortable with masonry, hardscape, drainage, and outdoor lighting, not only routine lawn care.
A company that has to subcontract out anything beyond basic mowing.
Who actually shows up to do the work?
The same local crew, every time, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
A different crew each visit, with no one actually familiar with your property.
Choosing a Landscaper, FAQ
How do I choose a landscaping company in Bergen County?
Ask four things: proof of license and insurance, verifiable reviews, whether they do full-property maintenance or just mowing, and whether the quote is firm and written. A real company answers all four without hesitation.
What makes Kucharski Landscape & Design different?
A 5.0 rating on Google, an active NJ contractor license, full-property maintenance instead of mow-and-go service, and a consistent crew who actually knows your property.
Is the cheapest quote always a bad sign?
Not always, but ask what it leaves out. Lowball quotes often skip insurance or grow once work starts. A firm quote from a licensed, insured company is usually the better number by the end of the season.
