For Developing Sites
Planning Phase
Protect your investment by utlilizing a long term maintenance and sustainability perspective
Installation Phase
On-site owners representative to be your eyes in the field when landscape projects are underway
Warranty Phase
Ensure your landscape is what you have paid for before turnover is completed and warranty expires
Horticultural expertise to guide plant choices
Using the right plant in the right place the first time is the cornerstone of a thriving site. Plants selected in this phase determine the sustainability of the landscape for decades to come. We choose planting palettes that are appropriate for our clients sites, are water wise and less maintenance intensive than traditional landscapes. We also conduct Landscape Architectural reviews for communities to comply with CC & R’s.
Phasing from landscape installation to warranty and maintenance
Get what you have paid for and make certain your site is acceptable for ongoing maintenance. Botanicon represents owners, managers and landscape architects on newly installed landscapes or where site maintenance contractors are being changed. Prior to warranty or contract expiration, we conduct a detailed inspection and address measures for correction prior to site turnover for maintenance.
Comply with MWELO and Use Water Efficiently
Verify your irrigation system operates in accordance with architectural plans and the Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance as required for occupancy permits. Existing landscapes can also make informed retrofits and upgrades based on actual operation and data from an irrigation audit. Our independent auditing service documents the performance of your irrigation delivery system to allow for maximum conservation of water resources.
Peace of mind knowing your project is going according to plan
Save time in the field by receiving reports on installation progress. Botanicon is a licensed C-27 landscape contractor providing third party oversight on behalf of our clients. We inspect and report back to project owners, managers and landscape architects to ensure sites are being installed according to approved plans, construction specifications and accepted industry standards during every step of the process.
Horticultural consulting for sustainable projects
Sustainable landscapes provide ecosystem benefits and economic advantages in part because they use less resources for long term management. Design for good maintenance by having seasoned experts in landscape maintenance on your team. Botanicon works with project teams seeking LEED and SITES certification, or those who just want to implement sustainable landscape strategies. Our consultation services as a LEED Green Associate are rendered on behalf of owners and project team members.
Generate estimated future maintenance costs
Long term site maintenance costs are directly correlated to the design. Botanicon develops maintenance impact statements from landscape plans and specifications for maintenance prior to design completion and site construction. Knowing how much annual landscape maintenance services will impact our clients budget before the site is installed is a powerful planning tool.
