As I said, ask to see a home they did 10 years ago or more. Or 7, since that is the target for educated landscape design fruition. Ask about background BEYOND the house down the street. Hardscaping, building a patio? If their education doesn't go beyond the landscaper they used to work for before they stole a potential customer from them and started their own business...or they are a salesperson that has never touched a shovel... you might be about to get taken by one of these door knockers or even a seemingly 'well established' company that looks the look ,advertises heavily and sadly does not walk the walk.. Follow you gut and get LOTS of estimates.
PM me if you want to know my opinion on who is good and who isn't. Landscapers advertising on this site may not appreciate that, or might...
