What is a Green Reserve Study?

Your community's appearance represents you and an important financial investment. At Live Oak Landscape Contractors, we have developed the Green Reserve Study, a revolutionary concept to extend appropriate guidance for landscape planning and maintenance. Poor maintenance causes irreversible conditions that negatively affect your environment. This program has enabled the Associations we work with to make wise decisions about short and long-term planning. Our customized Green Reserve Study covers landscape maintenance and budget for the entire "landscape environment" including soil, turf, landscape, trees and irrigation.

Most "Reserve Studies" cover structures such as roofs, siding, asphalt roads, tennis courts, pools, and clubhouses. However, the largest yearly expense for 95% of all condo associations, homeowner associations and co-ops is landscaping and many communities do not have a long-term plan in place.

Live Oak Contractors' Green Reserve Study is the cutting edge approach to grounds planning and long term maintenance.

Live Oak will prepare your Green Reserve Study utilizing experts in every field of green science to evaluate your property: Horticulturists, Certified Landscape Architects, State Certified Arborists, Turf Experts, Drainage Engineers and Irrigation Specialists. Every plant, turf area and section of your landscape will be carefully examined, researched and catalogued. We will conduct an extensive site analysis, interview homeowners, management and board members to create strategic long-term goals and facilitate a "Green" master plan for your community.
