Landscaping at Scale: Bringing More Control to Multi-Site Programs
For multi-site operators, landscaping is one of the most visible and consistent operating expenses across the portfolio. But when it is managed property by property, the friction adds up quickly through budget variance, inconsistent documentation, internal time spent managing exceptions, and repeated resets in strategy.
This guide explores a different model: treating landscaping as a structured program rather than a series of local service visits. Inside, you’ll see how centralized oversight, defined workflows, and stronger vendor governance can improve consistency, simplify administration, and reduce operational noise across the season.
