All You Need To Know About Working With Back 40 Landscaping

Thank you for taking the time to let us in on your project!

Our goal for our first phone call with you is to learn more about your project, what is important to you, and if we are a good fit for one another.

As homeowners ourselves, we believe that the most important part of a landscaping project is who you choose to work with. We want you to learn who we are, what our qualifications are, and what you can expect when working with us.

Back 40 Landscaping is owned by Sam and Natasha Maerz. When we started our business in 2013, we vowed to:

• Complete each and every project like we were doing it at our own home, and make sure that everyone on the team is certified to do the job exactly how it is supposed to be done.

• Have Natasha in the office to answer the phone every time it rings

• Have Sam onsite every day, at every project. From start to finish you know who is going to be working in your yard.

Education

Our website has over 200 articles about retaining walls, drainage, pavers, gravel, and excavation.

We started this education so that customers could understand exactly what their project entails, and understand the difference between us and other contractors.

You are getting ready to spend your hard-earned money, and should know how your project is being built, material options, and possible problems that can arise so that you know exactly what you are getting.

Our Process/Site Visits and Payment Terms

Our process is quite different from other contractors and we find that we are able to serve our customers to the highest degree because of it. Please read what our process is so you know what the next steps are.

Why We Charge For Our Site Visits

Our goal is to make sure that everyone is on the same page and that you are comfortable with the ballpark price that we provide over the phone before we come to your site.

We know your time is valuable, and since we are able to give you a ballpark price over the phone using the pictures and measurements you provided, you are able to learn how much your project is going to cost the same day you contact us instead of waiting weeks for a site visit.

Our Process

Project Pricing

While certification, and trusting your contractor are important, we understand price matters. Take a look at our pricing guide to see what a project like yours might cost.

Detailed Pricing

Why Do We Ask You For A Budget?

Each and every project can be completed using different amounts, types, and styles of materials, and can be built in different ways. 

We build your project's scope of work based on your budget. Without one, there is no starting point for us as to how we are going to design your specific project. If you do not have a budget in mind, think about what you want and are able to spend. 

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and what it is like to work with us. We look forward to learning more about your project!
