Irrigation and landscape maintenance check

When you need this form

Grounds work is where public liability lives outdoors. Irrigation lines leak, sprinkler heads shear off at ankle height, turf scalps, garden beds encroach on footpaths and tree roots lift pavers. A scheduled check ties all of it together with water usage and seasonal works. Councils, schools and body corporates ask for the record because they carry the claim if someone trips.

Water is the second reason to keep it live. Meter readings and fault notes recorded on site build a usage trend that explains a spike before the bill arrives. Attach a photo of the broken solenoid and the repair gets approved the same day. A paper run sheet gives you a tick and no proof of the condition you found.

What good looks like

• Irrigation zones tested individually, with run times and coverage confirmed.
• Faults logged per zone: broken heads, leaks, blocked lines, controller errors.
• Water meter reading recorded, with usage compared to the previous check.
• Turf, garden bed and mulch condition rated, with photos of problem areas.
• Seasonal works noted: pruning, fertilising, renovation, with the next visit due.
