I know to ask for references, and possibly if they are licensed and have insurance, but what else should I be looking for when choosing someone to dig my pond?
Should I try and find someone who charges by the hour, or gives me a total price? I am assuming I want someone who says it will be dug by a certain date, and it is, but can you hold someone to that with the weather? What if I have dirt they could use when excavating...do I try and make a deal with them to dig it for free, for the dirt?
I need to know these things, so my contractor doesn't do me wrong.
Thanks
