LandscapExperts Tip of the Week June 11



Steps in Renovation and Design
Let Crabapple LandscapExperts analyze your landscape and custom-design a renovation plan or design solution for the properties you manage.

First, we create a scale drawing on graph paper
  • Start with the city plat
  • Check with original builder or Homeowners Association for a copy of the blueprints and surveys
  • Measure the property boundaries, consulting the legal descriptions
  • Measure the external dimensions of the building(s)
  • Note landscape details, trees, fences, walkways, entrances, gates, parking, and so forth
  • Locate where downspouts and electrical outlets and air conditioning units, where utilities enter the building(s)(above or below ground) and location of meters
  • Septic tanks
  • Wells
  • Irrigation systems
  • Water lines
  • Locate the drives, walks, parking and so forth according to the legal description
  • Pools, dog pens, walls, fences, walls, play equipment, clothes lines, vegetable gardens, compost piles
Crabapple does this inventory for your properties to begin the process.
