Pre-Construction Site Inspection for Landscaping

The Pre-Construction Site Inspection workflow supports landscaping contractors by providing a structured approach to reviewing sites before work begins. It includes confirming design details, checking access, verifying material deliveries, and identifying potential issues. By following this process, landscaping companies reduce delays, prevent mistakes, and improve efficiency. Clients benefit from confidence in the contractor’s preparation, while teams gain accountability. With this workflow in place, landscaping contractors can strengthen trust, protect profitability, and deliver outdoor projects on schedule with reliable results.
