12 Questions You May Want to Ask Venyscapes Or Other Drainage Contractors
We have seen it time and time again. Anybody can claim to be a “drainage contractor” and give you the basics to make you believe they know what they are talking about. But, do they truly understand what it takes to install a drain properly? For example, at the time we are writing this, a new customer’s house flooded after a failed French drain. This French drain was clearly not installed by a professional drainage contractor. Additionally, last week, a customer received 4 bids and all of the drainage contractors had different ideas for the best type of drain, but Venyscapes was the only company that could truly explain why we felt our drain was the best for their property. Don’t get stuck with a faulty drain, be sure to ask these 12 questions before hiring a drainage contractor for your home.
What is Your Experience With Landscape Drainage Systems?
It is crucial to ask about the contractor’s experience and expertise in installing landscape drainage systems. Ask about their specific experience with the type of drain you are looking to have installed and whether they have dealt with similar projects in the past. This will help you determine if the contractor has the necessary skills and knowledge to complete the job correctly. If they have only installed a couple of yard drains in the past on the side, they probably aren’t the best person to install a landscape drainage system on your property. At Venyscapes, we have over 15 years of experience installing custom drainage systems in the Atlanta area. We have seen it all. We are prepared to handle even the most difficult and complicated drainage systems.
Can Your Drainage Contractor Provide References and Portfolio of Their Work?
A reputable contractor should be able to provide references from previous clients and a portfolio of their previous work. This will give you an idea of the quality of their work and help you determine if they are the right contractor for the job. Sure, any contractor can tell you they are highly-rated. They can list supposed customer testimonials on their website, but can they show proof to back that up? With Venyscapes, you can trust that you are getting a highly-rated and reputable drainage contractor. Our five-star reviews speak for themselves, see what our clients are saying about Venyscapes on Google.
Does The Drainage Contractor Handle Necessary Permits?
Some cities require permits for the installation of landscape drainage systems. It is important to ask the drainage contractor how they will handle obtaining the necessary permits (if needed), as you may be held responsible for any non-compliant work.
Why Are The Prices So Different Between Drainage Contractors?
The price of drainage contractors can vary significantly for several reasons, including:
Drainage Contractor’s Experience and Expertise:
Contractors with more experience and specialized knowledge may charge more for their services, as they have a better understanding of the complexities involved in installing a landscape drain. With more experience it usually means they can handle the most complex of drains and will know the best ways to adjust if something comes up during the install process.
Quality of Materials Used By Your Drainage Contractor:
The quality of materials used in the installation process can effect the price of the project. Contractors may use high-quality materials that are more expensive, but provide a better outcome in terms of performance and longevity. At Venyscapes we like to use the highest quality products. We want this to be a one time expense for you. Sometimes, with lower quality materials you will find yourself needing a new system in a matter of a few years. With high quality materials, like the ones that Venyscapes uses, you can expect your drain to last for many years to come with minimal maintenance required.
Size and Complexity of The Drainage Project:
The size and complexity of the project can also effect the prices of contractors. Larger and more complex projects may require more materials, labor, and expertise, leading to higher prices.
Big Machinery Access:
Every home in Atlanta has different kinds of access. Sometimes when installing a complex drainage system, we may need to use big machinery to complete the job. If your home doesn’t allow for the access of our machinery it means that our men will be doing the work manually. This can add labor costs to your project because of the extra time involved.
Drainage Contractor’s Overhead costs:
Contractors have different overhead costs, such as insurance, equipment, and employee salaries, which can impact the prices they charge for their services. At Venyscapes, you can expect the highest quality work from the most experienced crews.
Final Thoughts On Price Differences Between Contractors
The prices of drainage contractors can vary greatly due to a combination of factors, including experience and expertise, quality of materials, location, size and complexity of the project, overhead costs, and competition. When choosing a contractor, it is important to consider all these factors and get multiple quotes to find the best value for your project. You will likely have some quotes from inexperienced drainage contractors that don’t understand the ins and outs of drainage systems. With Venyscapes you can rest assured that we are dependable, experienced, offer quality work and can create custom solutions for your drainage needs.
Why Did 3 Different Drainage Contractors Recommend 3 Different Systems?
It’s great that you had several contractors to look at your drainage needs. We understand the desire to have multiple options when investing your hard earned money into your property. The unfortunate reality is you might get 3 different ideas for the best type of drainage system for your property. Most contractors are not certified. They may not have learned the best way to install a landscape drain from drainage manufacturers. A shovel and a YouTube video are all they need. At Venyscapes we are properly trained and certified drainage installers. We know the best methods for installation to create the most successful drainage system. That being said, everyone will have an opinion on what will work best. But, ideally they will be able to give you an in depth explanation of why their suggestion is best.
What Type of Drainage System Do You Recommend For My Property and Why?
A knowledgeable contractor should be able to recommend the best type of drainage system for your property based on the specific needs and conditions of your lawn and garden. They should consider factors such as the type of soil, slope, and size of the area when making their recommendation. There are several types of drainage systems that do similar things – drain excess water. But, certain drainage systems should not be used for certain areas. Depending on your property you can trust that Venyscapes will recommend the best drain for your property.
Does The Drainage System Make Sense?
Did a drainage contractor leave your home after an estimate and you still have no idea of how their system will work? If you answered yes, then that landscaping contractor didn’t do their job. Anyone who has a shovel can claim to be a drainage contractor. But not everyone has the experience like Venyscapes to solve the most complex drainage problems. During our estimates we make it a goal to explain to you why our drainage system is best for your property. If you receive a quote from Venyscapes and you still have questions, we are happy to explain in more detail. We want you to fully understand the ins and outs of your system. Especially why it’s the most effective to drain excess storm water.
What Does The Drainage Contractor Include In The Estimate And What Are The Costs For Additional Services?
Make sure to ask the contractor for a detailed estimate of the work that will be performed and any additional costs for additional services. This will help you avoid any unexpected costs and ensure that you are aware of the total cost of the project. Venyscapes offers a detailed quote that will break down the exact costs associated with your drainage job. Additionally, we typically offer optional add on services to your quote. As always, if you have any questions about your quote, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to make adjustments as needed or break down the costs further for you so you know exactly where your hard earned money is going.
How Will My Drainage Contractor Protect My Property During The Installation Process?
Installing a landscape drain can be a messy process, and it is important to ask the contractor about the measures they will take to protect your property during the installation process. This may include covering plants and other landscaping features, as well as ensuring that the work area is cleaned up after the project is complete. At Venyscapes you will hardly know we were there. We do everything we can to leave your yard and landscape in the same condition it was before we came in to install your drain. We pride ourselves on our quality work and especially on our clean up.
How Long Will The Installation Process Take?
It is important to ask your Atlanta drainage contractor about the expected timeline for the installation process, including the start and completion dates. This will help you plan and prepare for any disruptions to your property during the installation process. Some companies are scheduled out several weeks, and depending on weather and completion of other jobs on time, your job may get delayed. At Venyscapes we try and do our best to give you an exact start date and a great idea of how many days it will take to complete.
What Kind of Warranty Do You Offer For Your Work?
Ask the drainage contractor about the warranty they offer for their work. A good warranty should cover any defects or issues with the installation for a specified period of time. At Venyscapes we offer warranties on all of our work. You can read more about our drainage warranty here.

They take pride in what they do and it shows
Absolutely Amazing!! Of the 4 companies we received quotes from they were the only ones who offered additional suggestions that we did not ask for, nor did they upcharge us, to wholistically address the drainage issues. Carlos was patient and informative as he explained the process to my mother. The gentlemen who did the work, were fantastic. You could not tell that they had just dug under the ground and connected pipes in our yard. They cut the grass and then reinstalled it meticulously. No dirt, mud or straw all over the place. Everything placed back exactly as it was before. No visible pipes showing on the lawn. They take pride in what they do and it shows.
