Build a site-by-site workload.
List acreage, mowing frequency, edging, pruning, irrigation work, litter pickup and landscape beds separately. Note whether maps identify maintainable land rather than the entire parcel. Identify slopes, wet areas and restricted access.
Separate routine work from specialized work.
Determine whether herbicide application, tree work, irrigation repair or storm cleanup falls within the scope. Check the credentials, equipment and subcontracting permissions required for those tasks instead of assuming a general landscaping crew is sufficient.
Calculate route and equipment costs.
Include trailer loading, travel, fuel, equipment wear, disposal fees, traffic control where specified and backup machinery. Stress-test the price for weather delays and seasonal growth. Do not rely only on a residential per-yard rate.
Clarify acceptance and additional work.
Check inspection standards, response times, schedule changes, site damage responsibilities and how the agency authorizes extra services. Ask how acreage discrepancies or inaccessible areas are addressed.
