UnclaimedWhat a good quote should include
Comparable quotes are how you avoid the small-owner upcharge. Ask every pro to cover:
- Visit frequency and exactly what each visit includes
- Seasonal extras (mulch, fertilizer, cleanups) priced separately
- Irrigation repairs: included, or billed by the hour
- Proof of liability insurance, especially for tree work
- Contract length and how to cancel
Licensing in Massachusetts
Massachusetts doesn't issue a state license for general landscaping. Anyone applying pesticides commercially needs a license from the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, so ask for it if that's part of the work.
Permits come from Salem's building department. Plumbing, gas, and electrical work each need their own permit, pulled by the licensed trade doing the work.
Common landscaping jobs in Salem
Salem has some of the oldest building stock on the North Shore, including many 19th-century multifamily and mixed-use buildings. Exterior work on a building in one of Salem's local historic districts may need historical commission approval before a permit is issued, so ask any pro whether they've worked in the districts before.
- Grounds maintenance contracts for multifamily and commercial property
- Irrigation repair and replacement
- Tree trimming and removal
- Storm cleanup
