## The Landscape Walk Through 

A job site walk through with your [Commercial Landscape Company ](http://www.floraterra.com/Landscape-Industry-Certifications.asp)or assigned account manager is essential from time to time, this helps keep the lines of communication open assisting everyone to stay focused on your goals and desires.

## Participation with your [Office Landscape Service](http://floraterra.com/Commercial-Office-Landscape-Management-More.asp) is Key

As part of the process, everyone on the site walk should be taking notes for service items, including capturing photo images and prioritizing important landscape requests. A potential list of landscape improvements should be discussed, planned and **[prioritized for future budgeting](https://blog.floraterra.com/commercial-property-landscaping-and-budgeting-for-office-apartments-hoa-landscaping-floraterra-landscape-management-408-275-1200)**. It is also helpful if the client participates, contributing their thoughts and involvement for the site walk through.

## Walk a pattern with your [Commercial Lawn Maintenance Service](http://www.floraterra.com/commercial-lawn-maintenance-services.asp)

Maintaining the same walking pattern is essential, regardless if its an hoa landscaping or commercial property landscaping, it always helps to establish a routine walking pattern helping to organize important agenda for the next meeting.
