Know what matters. Plan landscaping clearly.
Follow the five phases that make landscaping work easier to describe, verify, approve, and document. Field conditions and requirements are still confirmed by the professional.
Trade know-how
Understand the job before it starts.
Landscaping is assessment-first because the site, drainage, soil, sun, utilities, trees, irrigation, access, and long-term maintenance shape the plan. Use these five phases to describe the work clearly. The professional still verifies field conditions, requirements, and the final scope.
How this work starts
A site assessment comes first
Name the result
- Describe the outcome—planting, beds, grading, drainage, irrigation, hardscape support, tree work, cleanup, or redesign.
- Also include the property areas involved.
Document what is visible
- Record site photos, sun and shade, drainage after rain, slope, existing plants and trees.
- Also record irrigation, utilities, gates, access, pets, maintenance goals, and known restrictions.
Use the honest review path
- A site assessment confirms dimensions, soil and drainage, grades, plant conditions, irrigation.
- Also verify tree and utility boundaries, access, permit triggers, and what can be maintained.
Approve the written scope
- Confirm the layout, quantities and plant sizes, soil and drainage work, irrigation, edging and mulch.
- Also confirm grading, tree limits, utility locates, permit responsibility, care, and exclusions.
Keep one project record
- Continue in Completa with the site plan, plant and material selections, utility and permit notes.
- Also keep approved phases, installation proof, care instructions, and changes.
