Landscape Budget Basics
Review Throughout the Year: After 2020, I do not think I have to explain how unpredictable a year can be. While previous annual budgets may or may not have gotten you through the year, they should never be reused.
2. Understand Basic Industry Standards: While those voting on the final budget may not be landscape professionals or have spent time in the industry, they should all understand some of the minimum requirements and standards for the green industry.
3. Listen to the Homeowners: The quality of your landscape and the effort used to maintain it has real and lasting effects on property value, and the satisfaction of your residents.
4. Use a Trusted Professional: While previous budgets and solicited RFPs can help give you an idea of prices and costs, nothing can replace a trusted professional.
