Executive Green / Landscape care
An HOA or commercial grounds contract should define the maintained areas, service requirements, seasonal priorities and reporting process. A clear property-wide scope helps Metro Atlanta managers compare proposals and distinguish recurring care from capital landscape improvements.

01 / Landscape care
Inventory the common areas before requesting quotes
List entrances, shared lawns, planting beds, sidewalks, gathering areas and any other maintained spaces. Identify who is responsible for each section, especially where homeowner property meets a common area. Provide a map or marked photos so every contractor prices the same boundaries.
Record known concerns such as recurring wet spots, damaged edging, overgrown sightlines or irrigation zones that need attention. A maintenance proposal should recognize those issues without treating every repair as an included task. Executive Green’s commercial landscape services support community and business properties.
02 / Landscape care
Separate recurring care, seasonal work and projects
- Recurring care: Define mowing, edging, bed maintenance, trimming and cleanup as applicable to the property.
- Seasonal work: Clarify leaf removal, mulch, seasonal color and plant-care timing.
- System checks: Specify whether irrigation observations, adjustments or repairs are included.
- Improvements: Price plant replacement, drainage work and landscape renovation separately unless the contract explicitly includes them.
Visit frequency should follow the scope and seasonal needs. Avoid a calendar that assumes the same work is appropriate in every month. Ask how weather interruptions and urgent site issues are communicated.

Your site, scope and conditions will determine the final design.
03 / Landscape care
Create a reporting process that the board can use
Choose one management contact and a practical way to log concerns. A report should identify the location, show a photo where useful and distinguish routine follow-up from a proposed extra. Before an additional project starts, the board should understand the scope, cost and approval process.
For renewal reviews, compare completed tasks, response to issues and the condition of the property against the agreed scope. Attractive entry beds matter, but so do clear walkways, controlled runoff and a workable maintenance plan. Keep dated observations rather than relying on a single inspection just before renewal.
04 / Landscape care
Look at a community landscape example
The Ashworth Community portfolio includes entrance beds and shared outdoor spaces. These photos offer visual ideas for common areas; they do not establish a particular current contract, schedule or maintenance result.

Answers before you start
Common questions
Should every HOA proposal include the same visit frequency?
Only if the community has requested the same service schedule and scope. Different frequencies or exclusions make headline prices difficult to compare.
Are irrigation repairs normally included?
They are included only when the contract says so. Distinguish routine observations from troubleshooting, parts and repair labor.
Can we phase landscape improvements?
Yes, a phased scope can separate immediate maintenance needs from drainage, planting or hardscape projects, with priorities and approvals agreed in advance.
