If you can it is best not to put a deposit down. Remember in Florida it is easy to put a lien on your property, even if you paid the prime contractor. Thus there should be very little credit risk for the landscaper and a biger risk to you that they do not perform. If they can not finance the job that mybe an indication that they are not too good of a company. Be sure to read about the lien laws and get releases from the subs and the sellers of the plants etc.
