What Should an HOA Grounds Maintenance Quote Include?

HOA boards and community managers often compare several landscaping quotes that look alike on paper but cover very different work. Use this checklist to compare quotes side by side.

Mowing, edging, and trimming

The quote should say how often common areas are mowed, and whether edging and trimming happen on every visit. Look for clear coverage of entrances, medians, parks, and areas along fences and walls.

Cleanup

Confirm that sidewalks, trails, and parking areas are blown clean after every service, and whether litter pickup in common areas is included.

Beds and shrubs

Find out whether bed weeding, shrub trimming, and mulch are part of the regular service or billed separately. These are the items most often left vague.

Seasonal work

Ask about leaf cleanup in the fall, winter visit frequency, and spring cleanup. A quote that only covers summer mowing may leave gaps the rest of the year.

Communication and accountability

Who is the board's point of contact? How are resident complaints handled? How quickly will a missed area be corrected? Clear communication is often what separates a good provider from a frustrating one.

Insurance and references

Ask for proof of insurance and references from other communities or commercial properties. It's a reasonable request, and any established provider should be ready for it.
