Third party objective Landscape Audit

Have you ever wondered if your landscape provider is carrying out all of the obligations they are contracted to do? Are they maintaining the builder’s original vision for the complex? Are they discovering and alerting you to problem areas or issues that are likely to arise if not maintained properly? Most of us get caught up in the day to day operations of the community and forget we should be looking at the future 5, 10, or even 20 years from now. Did I do everything correctly to manage the property and ensure it will be the appreciating asset homeowners are expecting it to be? Are the trees spaced correctly? Do they have room to grow and flourish, or might we expect a high mortality rate? Is the right tree planted in the right spot? In other words, did you plant a Dalbergia Sissoo Tree (Indian Rosewood) too close to a wall, driveway or sidewalk and wonder why the root system is breaking up anything in its path (including homeowners’ private walls)? Is your irrigation system up to date and adequately covering all of the grounds? Is it optimized to save you the most money possible? Are triangles of visibility and lines of sight challenging issues for drivers and pedestrians and potential liabilities for the community?

The questions and concerns seem limitless. This is exactly why you need Tree Theory to perform a third party independent Landscape Audit. There’s simply no better way to reassure the community that you are looking out for their best interests.
