Why this combination
Lawn Maintenance tuned for landscape designers & architects.
This page is for independent landscape designers, landscape architects, interior designers with landscape scope, and architects who occasionally carry landscape on residential or commercial projects. It applies whether you're a one-person practice or a mid-size studio, and whether you work primarily residential or carry commercial work as well.
Within that, lawn maintenance is one of the workstreams (4 total) we run for landscape designers & architects. The scope, cadence, and reporting are tuned to the operational reality of this audience — not a generic landscape checklist.
How we approach it:
No client solicitation — your relationship is protected
We include non-solicitation language in our install-partner agreements. During and after the project, we do not pursue the client for future design work or secondary landscape work outside the scope of our install engagement. If the client asks us something that should route through you, we redirect them. Your practice stays yours.
What goes wrong
Common lawn maintenance failure modes for landscape designers & architects
Failure patterns we see across landscape designers & architects accounts — the ones our scope is designed to prevent.
Install contractors who 'value-engineer' your drawings away
The classic install-partner failure is when the contractor substitutes materials, changes plant species, or drops details without consultation because they thought they could do it cheaper or faster. By the end of the project the built work isn't your design anymore. We don't do that. Substitutions happen only after discussion with you, and any change to spec is documented and approved on paper before execution.
Contractors who go direct to your client
Some install contractors use your project as a lead source for their own future work — making the client their client and cutting you out of future phases. We don't. Our install-partner arrangements include an explicit non-solicitation understanding, and we route everything client-facing through you during the project and afterward. Your client relationship is yours.
Weak execution on critical details
Planting depth, base compaction under pavers, drainage slope on hardscape, pressure-regulation on drip — details you specified for good reasons often get executed at the 'close enough' level by under-trained crews. Our install teams have the training, experience, and QC process to hit the specifications you drew. If a detail is tricky, we ask before we build.
Communication that disappears once the job starts
The worst install-partner experience is project kickoff followed by silence until there's a problem. We send a weekly written update during active installs with photos, progress notes, issues flagged, and any questions. Your client sees a coordinated, competent project team — which reflects on you.
