Maintaining the common area in your California Homeowner Association is one of the board's most important responsibilities. Some maintenance requires consistent upkeep. Landscape maintenance falls into that category and it is usually in the board's best interest to contract with a professional company to provide HOA landscape maintenance services in order to save on cost, and have consistency within the look of the community. While some homeowners might complain that the cost of professional landscaping is unnecessary, we would like to offer you several reasons why we believe that it is worth every penny.
Let's consider some of the advantages of using a professional to provide your HOA landscape maintenance services:
If you are convinced and you don't have professional landscaping now, we want to recommend that before signing any contract, the board should request at least 3 bids from potential companies. Careful consideration of each company's competence and expertise is a necessity, as well as checking their references and comparing their fees.
Landscaping is very important to the community's image, value and quality of life. Maintaining it can be very expensive. Is it worth what the association pays for these services? We would strongly argue yes! In fact, investing in an HOA landscape maintenance services contract offers curb appeal to your homeowner association which makes the neighborhood more desirable overall. This also serves to contribute to the value of every single home, including yours, so that if and when you are ready to sell your home, your community's landscaping is at its best!
