Facts, not opinions.

​

A landscape inspection performed by The Grade Outdoors includes a comprehensive, unbiased evaluation of your grounds and its components.  What clients get is so much more than just a quick "landscaper walk-through".  We follow an objective, scientific, and systematic process to identify and evaluate landscape items and provide recommended actions.  Our inspection complements the typical home inspection by closely examining both the natural and built-in features of your property. Residential landscape inspections serve both potential and existing homeowners by helping them make well informed decisions about their property.

The Grade Outdoors fills in the blanks left by the typical home inspection.

​

Most home buyers hire a home inspector as part of the buying process. Simply put, the home inspector's job is to help you understand what you are buying.  However, the typical basic home inspection provides only a cursory look at the landscape and grounds features of your property and is more focused on the dwelling structure.  The landscapes of today's homes have become increasingly complex.  Potential problems that lie undetected can lead to further complications, or expensive repairs and renovations.  This is where a landscape inspection is critically important.
