Questions to ask before you hire
A fixed price only means something when the scope is written down. Use these to compare quotes against your range.
- 1How will the pipe slope, and where does the water leave?
The outlet decides whether the drain works. Ask to see it on the route.
- 2Is a permit needed, and who gets it?
Rules differ by city. Get the answer in writing.
- 3What fabric, gravel and pipe go in?
Ask for each in the written quote, so quotes compare like for like.
- 4How is the lawn put back?
Sod, seed or bare soil changes both the price and the result.
- 5What does the written quote include?
Length, route, outlet, materials, cleanup and the payment schedule.
