Your lowest landscape bid is not your cheapest option. It is your most expensive risk, spread across ten properties at once.
Here is what most portfolio bids hide: the headline number almost never covers the same scope. One vendor excludes irrigation inspections. Another excludes plant replacement. A third has no storm response protocol. By the time you normalize every bid to annual cost per square foot and map every exclusion, the “cheaper” vendor is often the more expensive one, before the first invoice dispute.
This is the comparison framework that protects you before you sign anything.
Score every finalist on six criteria: scope completeness, irrigation competency, multi-property discount structure, photo documentation cadence, enhancement flagging process, and single-point-of-contact accountability.
Then require timestamped, GPS-tagged photo documentation within 24 hours of every visit across all ten properties. Not a verbal commitment to start documenting. A demonstrated sample from a current client. Green Image delivers that on every visit, at every property, without exception.
One standard across your portfolio is not a negotiating point. It is the baseline.
