Beyond the Grass: Essential Landscape Factors for Lawn Care Companies
Landscape management extends far beyond routine lawn care. It encompasses detailed maintenance and management specifications that address every aspect of the outdoor environment, including:
• Plant Care: Pruning, fertilization, and integrated pest management.
• Irrigation: Optimizing water use efficiency.
• Bed Maintenance: Mulching, waste handling, and composting.
• Hardscape Management: Preserving and maintaining built landscape elements.
The ultimate goal is to align landscape performance with client expectations—achieving lasting curb appeal while maintaining efficiency and sustainability through appropriate resource use.
