REVIEWING MAINTENANCE PROPOSALS
What to Compare in a Strata Landscape Maintenance Proposal
Compare included services and responsibilities alongside pricing. Similar totals can cover different tasks, areas or visit frequencies; check the details before treating offers as equivalent.
01 / RECURRING LANDSCAPE CARE
Regular Landscape Maintenance
SHARED LANDSCAPED AREAS
Check which shared lawns, garden beds, hedges and shrubs are covered, and which areas are excluded.
TASKS & FREQUENCY
Compare mowing, edging, garden-bed care and hedge or shrub trimming, plus expected visit frequency and seasonal changes.
ROUTINE CLEANUP
Check responsibility for clippings, leaves and landscape debris: what is collected, from which areas and whether removal is included.
02 / SEPARATELY ASSESSED WORK
Additional & Separately Quoted Work
INITIAL & LARGER WORK
Clarify whether an initial cleanup or larger hedge and shrub work is needed, and how it is priced separately from recurring visits.
PLANTING & IMPROVEMENTS
Identify requested mulch installation, planting and landscape improvements. Check whether these are included or require a separate quote.
EXCLUSIONS & APPROVALS
Ask which tasks are excluded or unlisted and how additional work or scope changes are approved before proceeding.
Compare the same maintenance requirements
Use existing specifications as a starting point, then flag requested changes. Ask contractors to clarify omissions or assumptions before comparing prices.
PROPERTIES WE SERVE
Landscape Maintenance for Vancouver Strata Properties
From townhouse grounds maintenance to condominium landscaping, a useful plan starts with how residents share and move through the outdoor spaces.
01 / TOWNHOUSE COMMUNITIES
Townhouse Strata Communities
Shared lawns, garden beds and hedge-lined walkways benefit from coordinated, recurring care. Define the common landscaped spaces and any boundaries beside individual homes so maintenance responsibilities are clear.
02 / CONDOMINIUM & APARTMENT GROUNDS
Condominium & Apartment Grounds
Landscaped entrances, courtyards, shrubs and planted residential grounds create the setting residents see every day. A maintenance scope identifies the accessible areas and the routine care they require.
03 / SHARED OUTDOOR SPACES
Shared Entrances, Courtyards & Walkways
Include pedestrian routes, access arrangements and relevant site instructions in your enquiry. Identify the agreed common areas, any restricted spaces and the contact who can clarify property requirements.

PREPARING A CONTRACTOR ENQUIRY
Preparing Your Strata Property for a Landscape Maintenance Proposal
If your strata council is comparing landscape-maintenance contractors, clear property information helps make the proposal more useful. Existing specifications help, but you can enquire even if some details are unavailable.
Existing Maintenance Specifications
Share existing specifications, an agreed service schedule or the current contractor’s responsibilities. These help identify the maintained areas, tasks and frequency being reviewed.
Property Layout & Site Access
Provide the address and photos of common landscaped areas. Distinguish shared from privately maintained spaces; note any locked gates, restricted access, narrow walkways, stairs or areas needing special attention.
Council Priorities & Contract Timing
Identify maintenance goals, areas needing improvement and proposed scope changes. Include the preferred start date, any proposal deadline and the main strata or property-management contact.

HOW TO GET STARTED
From Property Details to a Written Maintenance Proposal
The enquiry starts a review of the requested work. The written proposal then gives your council a scope and price to evaluate before deciding whether to proceed.
01
Share Your Property Details
Send the information available to your council or property manager. Flag any unknown details so they can be clarified during review.
02
Review the Maintenance Requirements
Basilscape reviews the requested work and determines whether a site visit or additional information is needed to clarify the maintenance requirements.
03
Review the Written Proposal
Check the proposed work and pricing against your requirements. Clarify omissions before approval; scheduling is confirmed separately, subject to availability.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Strata Landscaping Vancouver FAQs
Can our strata request a proposal before the current landscaping contract expires?
Yes. An enquiry can support a contractor review or upcoming renewal. Distinguish your proposal deadline from the preferred service start date, and explain any intended scope changes. Requesting a proposal does not reserve a start date; availability and scheduling need separate confirmation.
Can we submit our existing landscape-maintenance specifications?
Yes. Existing specifications can give contractors a common basis for review. Indicate whether they describe the current arrangement or the scope you now want, and mark requested changes. Ask that any departures or exclusions be identified in the proposal.
What if our strata does not have a detailed maintenance specification?
Start with a description of the shared areas, current condition and maintenance priorities, plus available photos. Mark uncertain boundaries or tasks as questions rather than assumptions. The requested scope can be clarified during review; a complete specification is not required to make an initial enquiry.
Is a property visit required before preparing a maintenance proposal?
The need for a visit depends on whether the available information is enough to assess the work. Photos may not show boundaries, access or the condition of every area. Basilscape reviews what you provide and determines whether a visit or further details are needed.
What should our strata council compare when reviewing landscaping contractors?
Give contractors the same requirements, then check how each proposal addresses them. Compare included areas and tasks, visit frequency, cleanup, exclusions and separately priced work alongside the total. Ask for unclear assumptions to be resolved so a lower price is not mistaken for equivalent coverage.
Can an initial property cleanup be included when starting recurring maintenance?
An initial cleanup can be requested for assessment where the grounds need catch-up work. Ask for its tasks and pricing to be identified separately from ongoing visits, and clarify the condition expected before routine care begins. It is included only if expressly agreed in the written scope.
