Inspections

Photos of some of our work

The SNWA requires two inspections.

1. An inital inspection to see if your property qualifies.

2. A post work inspection to make sure the work meets or exceeds the SNWAs requirements. If the work meets or exceeds the SNWAs requirments property owners have a little more paperwork to do before the SNWA will issue them a check.

Photos of some of our work

When looking at photos, keep in mind that each property owner had a different budget and vision for their new landscaping. The common elements are that we helped when design when asked, did the heavy lifting, did the work within the customers budget and completed the work ON TIME!

The SNWA has some requirements for grass conversions

Luckily On Time Landscapings staff understands them and has a 100% approvial the first time properties are inspected by the SNWA. Some of these requirement are:

A. Living plants: The landscaping must have at least 50% living plant cover at maturity (based upon the SNWAs list). Need help choosing plants? We may be able to help. Start here.

B. Efficient irrigation: Watering systems, if used, must be drip irrigation systems with a filter, pressure regulator, and emitters rated at 20 gallons per hour or less.

C. Surface treatments: Surface treatments, including weed barriers, must be uniformly permeable to air and water and covered by a layer of mulch, such as rock, bark, permeable artificial turf, and/or living groundcovers (where plant density ensures 100% plant cover). Concrete or other impermeable treatments and surfaces do not qualify.
