Use the checklist below before your on-site visit. Everything here helps our crew diagnose the real problem — soil, grade, drainage, sun, and irrigation — instead of guessing, so your written estimate reflects your actual property.
Property basics to have ready
- Property address and, if known, where your property lines fall
- Your HOA name and any architectural/fence rules or ARC forms
- Known utility, easement, or drainage-easement locations
- Recent survey or plat, if you have one
Photograph and measure before we arrive
- Wide shots of the front and back yard from a few angles
- Close-ups of problem spots: brown/thin turf, bare soil, cracks
- Anywhere water stands, pools, or erodes after rain
- Shady areas and the path of the sun during the day
- Slopes, grade changes, and any existing retaining walls
- Existing beds, trees, and the space you want to change (with rough dimensions)
Irrigation and water
- Where your sprinkler controller and backflow assembly are located
- Your designated Round Rock watering day (odd/even address)
- Any recent, unexplained spike in your water bill
- Zones that don't work, mist, or leave dry/wet spots
- Whether your last backflow test was filed with the city
Your goals and priorities
- Your top three concerns, in order
- Must-haves vs. nice-to-haves for the project
- Your ideal timeframe (and any hard deadlines like an event or sale)
- A realistic budget range so we can scope the right plan
- Whether you'd prefer to phase the work over time
Decisions worth thinking through
- Turf vs. reduced turf / native, drought-tolerant beds
- Fence height and style (privacy, horizontal, board-on-board)
- How you'll use a patio or pergola (dining, shade, entertaining)
- Whether the real issue is drainage/grade before anything cosmetic
Questions to ask any contractor
- Are you licensed and insured? Who is your responsible TCEQ irrigator?
- Will I get a written, itemized scope before work begins?
- What's included, what's excluded, and how are changes approved?
- Do I need a watering variance, permit, or HOA approval — and who handles it?
- What's the warranty, and what does the maintenance handoff look like?
