Working with LaBella Associates
- Scope clarity first: confirm in writing what LaBella Associates is responsible for versus what other trades or the general contractor carry, particularly at the hand-off points around landscape architecture.
- Sequencing matters. Landscape Architects work has to land at the right point in the build; scheduling it out of order is the most common cause of rework and change orders on Charlotte projects.
- Verify current licensing and insurance for the jurisdiction where the work happens — requirements differ between Mecklenburg County, Union County, and the South Carolina side of the metro.
- Ask to see recent completed work of similar scope rather than a general portfolio. For this firm, that means projects reflecting large-scale landscape design.
LaBella Associates works across Charlotte and National. Travel distance affects scheduling and, on smaller scopes, pricing — confirm availability for your specific address before building the firm into a project timeline.
