Landscape Inspection Checklist Template

This is a fill-in checklist, not a calculator — there is no score and no graded result. Walk the property, mark each line, and the one-page sheet on the right updates live; print it or save it as a PDF when you're done.

The walk type toggle (Pre-quote scope vs Post-service QA) relabels the sheet's title and signature framing only — the fields stay the same, so one document serves both the bid walk and the sign-off walk. Each element section is pre-seeded with the typical line items and is fully editable: add a row, remove a row, or rename an item on site. The Annual Flower Beds section starts collapsed because it's seasonal; expand it to include it.

Each line gets a Pass / Needs attention / Fail mark. The one computed element is the flagged-items punch list at the foot: every row you mark Fail or Needs attention is collected there automatically, grouped by section — a descriptive filter, never rolled into a pass-rate or certification grade:

punch list = rows marked Fail or Needs attention
flagged count = number of those rows

Nothing is stored — the logo and everything you mark live only in your browser for this session. The signature lines record that a walk happened; they certify nothing. The irrigation section is a visual check only and is not a backflow or irrigation certification. This checklist is deliberately price-free — when a scope walk turns into a bid, the landscaping estimate and the quote generator are where the numbers live.

Inspection walks are most often the first visit on a commercial or association property, where the findings have to be costed service line by service line before anything is submitted. The commercial grounds maintenance bid calculator does that conversion, and the guide to bidding grounds maintenance contracts covers the specification, insurance and renewal mechanics those buyers work to. A walk on a property you have not served before usually starts from the new client intake sheet, which captures the access, billing and contact facts this checklist takes for granted.
