Landscape Maintenance

Plant Material

June 21st, 2010

Plant material will receive more consistent attention and will hold their shapes better. All weeds will be removed and plant material will be transplanted, if necessary. For instance, say an area is looking over grown, or certain plants were installed too closely at first and are now more mature and touching. If the landscape maintenance schedule was implemented, time would be created to fix this problem. This can really help to eliminate or reduce the extra expense of purchasing new plants as well as the labor that would normally be charged to install them. Phasing out the maintenance is a dynamic plan that allows the landscapers to spend more time in one area instead of having to cover more ground and potentially overlooking important tasks, as well as being able to do the little extra things that really make a difference and get noticed.

A Common Goal

It’s important to meet with the account manager to start the process and discuss all of your options. It is recommended for you, as the property manager or onsite manager, to be involved in the decision making process for phasing out your property’s maintenance. It’s vital that you take an active role so that important issues, especially pertaining to your property needs or specific expectations, can be considered. Yes, it is true that the responsibility of scheduling and administrative tasks should be given directly to the account manager, but collaboration is also important in order to achieve a mutual goal.

Plan of Action

There is a way to make your property look better without having to increase the monthly cost. It takes planning, organization and management. Your landscape company is responsible for working with you to devise a specific plan of action for your unique property. This can be done by dividing the property into phases, where essentially a landscape maintenance schedule is performed in a full month’s cycle, so that you know exactly which area of the property has just been done and which area is scheduled next.

Positive Results of Proper Landscaping

You look forward to the walk-ways of your property being blown off and clean. It’s aesthetically pleasing to notice the freshly edged grass and ground cover planters. It’s important that what you have asked for and things that you expect to be done are in fact completed every time the landscapers visit the property. You enjoy when your tenants or residents are proud of where they live and your on-site managers have a beautiful working environment to be at everyday.
