A periodic walk through of your property can provide useful information. This process can help our managers better understand your goals and aspirations, and assist in achieving the end result. If you are hiring a [commercial landscape company](http://www.floraterra.com) for the first time, then time spent on site is always useful. We are here for you, whether your location includes older landscaping that requires high maintenance, full renovation, or a comprehensive [commercial landscape design and installation service. ](https://www.floraterradesigngroup.com/) More importantly, a seasoned landscape professional at your side will be able to help you realize your end goals and wanted aesthetics! In contrast, if you are already a commercial landscaping client of FloraTerra, then you will know that top-notch communication is one of the key features of the service we provide. Whether you are checking in with your assigned account manager or making service requests via our user-friendly FloraTerra app, our team are always only a button or a click away. However, today, let's explore the value of periodic on-site walk throughs, and how you can make this experience even more rewarding. **Read on for our top tops for maximizing the yield of this energizing and insightful process.** **COME PREPARED WITH NEW NOTES, FRESH IDEAS YOU HAVE NOT SHARED, YET** The maintenance of any [commercial landscape design](https://www.floraterradesigngroup.com/) will incorporate countless details, decisions, and features. Without handy notes to refer to, it can be challenging to communicate everything that is on one's mind. So why not prepare your ideas ahead of your property walk through so that nothing gets missed? You may have noticed that occupants have taken to cutting across a particularly beautiful flowerbed and are causing harm, or that a tree root has begun to crack an area of pavement. You may have spotted a leak that is only noticeable when the irrigation system is running, or you may want to know if the edible garden of your dreams will work in the space you have envisioned for it! Whatever the detail may be, come prepared and we will be sure to explore each item in detail. **TRAVERSE YOUR LANDSCAPE IN THE SAME PATTERN** We realize that it takes time and effort on everyone's part to plan and participate in a site walk through. With that in mind, establishing practices for efficiency is important, and one of the very best is repeating a consistent travel direction during each meeting. It may be some time since our last shared walk through, but a repeated format will jog our memories and allow you to compare current realities with past observations. This structure can aid your [commercial landscaping service](http://www.floraterra.com) in setting important agenda points for next time, and creating a dependable format for checking off associated tasks. **DOCUMENT SUGGESTIONS, AGENDA AND DISCUSSIONS** Your trusted commercial landscape company will certainly be engaged in recording notes for discussions, including images of plants or features in need of service, and considering important agenda. A future list of landscape improvements topics should be discussed, scheduled, and set for future planning—this agenda can then be tracked through your service app, driving important decisions about how your commercial landscaper should proceed. By being attentive to this process, you will be able to leverage your contractor's service experience of landscaping potential, likely remaining on point for exceeding your requirements! **TOPICS FOR FUTURE PLANNING** The agenda that you and your commercial landscape contractor plan will likely be around the unique features of your landscaping, your targeted budget, long-short term goals, and any pertinent details that should be scheduled for targeted dead lines etc. To that very point, certain discussions are always useful for a productive meeting, as collaboration is key! **SUBJECTS TO EXPLORE MAY INCLUDE:** - Seasonal activities and the need for sculptural pruning and trash removal - Targeted zones that are in need of renovation - Climate appropriate plant types that are water efficient - Water management for Drought Restrictions - Lawn Maintenance, Dethatching, Aeration and Seeding - Remedial for antiquated property - Water Conservation Goals and Bay Friendly improvements - Mitigating Safety and Liability Concerns - Erosion Control, Hydro-Seeding and Soil Stabilization - Landscape Planning and Future Budgeting **EXCEPTIONAL COMMUNICATION FOR YOUR TARGETED AGENDA** Upon completion of your meeting, anticipate the need for flexibility and changes for targeted dead lines and projects. However, don't forget that transparent communication is always available through our various service technology here at FloraTerra. You can always contact us through various platforms that are available to convey something that wasn't covered, share a new idea, photo, or identify and communicate a recent service request that must be completed.   Whether you manage an apartment community, common interest property, office buildings, a retail power center, we at FloraTerra remain ready to serve you you. We provide exceptional service, transparent communication, fast response time and a strong work ethic to support you. If you are ready to collaborate with our commercial landscape company, we are ready to serve!
