Landscaping
Competency C4. Develop and implement a plant management plan for crop and pest management.
Description
When developing a production plan for landscaping there are many aspects to consider. A good plan will include materials that are appropriate based on hardiness zones, availability, and growing conditions. A plan for materials should also include living and nonliving components and hardscape and softscape considerations. A plan must also consider site and location limitations, as well as customer preference, financial constraints and parameters. Additionally, the maintenance of the landscape should be evaluated when constructing a landscape management plan.
