Free landscaping scope of work template

Landscape installs get disputed over plant sizes and counts, soil prep, and who waters after you leave. A scope that names each plant with its container size, spells out bed prep and mulch depth, and says what the plant warranty requires of the customer, keeps a dead shrub in August from turning into a free replacement argument.

• Plants by species, container size and count.
• Bed preparation: removal, soil amendment, edging.
• Mulch type and depth.
• Hardscape: pavers, walls, walks, with base depth.
• Irrigation changes.
• Plant warranty terms and watering responsibility.

• Plant sizes at install, not at maturity.
• Who waters after install, and how often.
• Utility locating before digging.
• Grading and drainage away from the house.
• Removal of existing plants, sod or stumps.
• Access for machines and protection of the lawn.
