The Buck Stops With These 4 Expectations

If you find yourself wondering if your landscape service provider is going to show up, it’s time to rethink things. Is it time to raise your expectations? Are you looking to partner with a landscape maintenance company that will do more than just show up?

If so, here are a few valuable tips to consider for the future.

1. A written landscaping schedule

you should know the frequency of visits per year and what tasks will be performed. Documenting the frequency for pruning your hedges for example, and how many mowing, irrigation system inspections, and fertilizer-herbicide applications you should expect.

2. Assigned account representative

do you have one point of contact for your property(s)? Yes? If so how is there response time to your calls, emails, or proposal requests? Having to try and communicate through the on site crew leader is not the best way to stay in communication with your landscape management company. You need to have hands on horticulturist that has the training that can deliver the very best service.

3. Respectable service team and equipment

Professional landscape maintenance companies provide there personnel with the appropriate safety equipment and uniforms required to service your property. Vehicles must be clearly identifiable with an Insignia and vehicles must be maintained well, the company should exhibit the appropriate image that you expect from your own personnel, property management staff and vendors.

4. Showing up is just part of the landscaping service

When personnel shows up to your property, they should communicate with the on site staff to their presence and ask if there are any special requests or concerns before they begin servicing you’re landscaping. Upon and prior to departure, they must apprise you of what’s been completed, and if there was anything that they noted out of the ordinary that you might want to know.

These are just a few pertinent items that landscape companies should train there personnel on every week. A few simple tasks are the beginning elements of a strong landscape team.

It’s time to raise your expectations and make a demand for a landscape company that will do more than just show up, mow and blow.
