A job site walk through with your Landscape Company 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.

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. It is also helpful if the client participates, contributing their thoughts and involvement for the site walk through.

Maintaining the same walking pattern helps to establish a routine walking pattern helping to organize important agenda for the next meeting.

We realize It takes time and effort on everyone’s part to plan and participate in a site walk through, however all parties can eventually be satisfied knowing that future meetings will become more time efficient moving things in the right direction.
