Landscaping The Garden

Posted by Trendy Chick on August 12th, 2010

Landscaping contractors are hard to hire around here – the ones that I’ve found so far are those who are doing it freelance and that’s not really what i want.  Why?  because there is no guarantee on the work and if anything should happen when they are working around my house – i don’t have disability insurance or any kind of insurance for them.  And if they are freelance – like the guy who fixed my shingles two years ago – there is no guarantee about their work either.

But if you hire someone who are professionals with credentials not just recommended by the neighbor – you know that you won’t be liable – because his company would take care of any injury insurance.  You never know what may happen during work – and since I don’t have them on payroll – i can’t even get worker’s compensation if they get into an accident.  So the moral of this story is – if you are getting work done around the house – make sure you hire a professional with a contract and receipt.
