Four Simple Steps, Start to Finish

The Fullerton Grounds Maintenance Process

Getting started with a landscape partner should not require a procurement cycle. The Fullerton Grounds Maintenance process is four steps, and you know what the property costs before anyone sets foot on it with equipment.

Recommendations, Not Surprises

Step One: Schedule a Property Walkthrough

A member of the team walks the site with you. The conversation covers what the property needs, what has been going wrong, what is working and what is not, and any budget number you are working against.

Where it helps, the company will meet with a board or an ownership group directly rather than sending a proposal into a decision it cannot answer questions about.

Step Two: Review a Customized Scope and Proposal

You receive a written scope built for the property: which services, at what frequency, at what price. Proposal deadlines get accommodated when a bid is due on a date you do not control.

Where the budget will not carry everything the property needs, the proposal says which items to defer and what deferring them costs. Nothing is padded to leave room for negotiation.

Step Three: Start Service

Crews begin on a set rotation. The same crews return to the same property, supervised by managers with advanced horticultural and job safety training, so site knowledge builds instead of resetting every visit.

You get an account contact who knows the property and can be reached directly.

Step Four: Ongoing Recommendations and Updates

Crews report site conditions as they find them, and you receive recommendations on corrective work, repairs, and replacements before those conditions turn into complaints.

Work outside the contracted scope is quoted before anyone starts, so every extra is approved before it appears on an invoice.

What the Process Is Designed to Do

Keep you informed before a tenant notices anything. Answer questions the first time they are asked. Quote every extra before it reaches an invoice. Hold the scope steady from season to season.

Every step supports one of those.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most proposals follow within a week of the site visit. When a bid deadline is tighter than that, say so at the walkthrough and the timeline gets worked around it.
  • A member of the sales and estimating team walks the site, and the account manager who would run the property is often part of the conversation. Board or ownership meetings can be arranged where the decision sits with a group.
  • Mid-season starts are common, particularly when a previous vendor has left a property abruptly. The scope is written from the property's condition on the day it is walked.
  • Additional work is quoted separately and folded into the existing agreement and billing rather than set up as a new account.
  • Clients receive updates, site observations, and recommendations when conditions are identified that may need attention, plus service records for snow events.
