A maintenance plan for landscape connects the designed outdoor space with its actual and long-term use. Clear work instructions, maintenance frequencies and a basis for assigning responsibility help ensure that the solution retains its aesthetics, functionality and value over the long term, including after completion. <\/strong><\/p>\n

When should maintenance be considered during the design process?<\/h2>\n

The optimisation of maintenance should already be considered during the preliminary design phase, when fundamental decisions are made about spatial organisation, plant typologies and materials. This phase largely determines future maintenance requirements and costs. <\/p>\n

What does a maintenance plan for landscape include?<\/h2>\n

The appropriate time to prepare a maintenance plan for landscape is during the construction working documents phase, when the technical solution is sufficiently detailed for the maintenance principles to be developed into a specific, practical whole.<\/p>\n

We define the tasks, working methods and optimum frequencies required to achieve the desired level of maintenance. We consider watering, fertilising, pruning and establishment maintenance for living materials, as well as cleaning, repairing, protective treatment or renewal of non-living materials. <\/p>\n

The plan is a system that considers the relationships between living and non-living materials and supports the entire outdoor space in functioning as designed.<\/p>\n

The maintenance plan for landscape comprises a work schedule table and accompanying work instructions. The instructions specify the competence required of the person carrying out the work and the content of the tasks and frequency, and recommend suitable maintenance equipment, tools, materials and\/or supplies. <\/p>\n

Depending on the nature of the solution, the plan is prepared for one year or for up to five years where the development of the planting and maintenance principles differ from year to year. The completed document is practical for use by the client, facility manager and maintenance contractor. <\/p>\n

Service Quality Promise<\/h2>\n<\/div>

For developers<\/h3>\n

A maintenance plan for landscape helps preserve the development’s appeal and perceived quality and reduces the risk that the outdoor space will quickly lose value because of inadequate maintenance. Maintenance requirements and costs become realistically predictable. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For project managers<\/h3>\n

For the project manager of design work, it is important that maintainability and maintenance optimisation are designed into the solution rather than being left for someone else to address at an unspecified later date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For architects<\/h3>\n

The quality of the concept is preserved in everyday use over the long term. The maintenance plan for landscape helps ensure that the architectural and landscape whole retains its aesthetic quality and functionality years later. This strengthens credibility and demonstrates that the solution has been thoroughly considered. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
