Client Walkthrough for Landscaping

The Client Walkthrough workflow supports landscaping contractors by involving clients in a detailed review of outdoor projects before closeout. It includes inspecting plantings, hardscapes, irrigation systems, and lighting while addressing punch list items. Teams also document client approvals for accountability. By following this process, landscaping companies reduce disputes, improve communication, and protect profitability. Clients benefit from transparency and confidence that their project is complete as promised. With this workflow in place, landscaping contractors can strengthen credibility, enhance professionalism, and close projects with smoother client satisfaction.
