How ready is your property for an outdoor project?
Ten yes/no/unsure questions about your lot. We'll flag the items AE — or any qualified contractor — would need to verify before scoping, so the first conversation is a useful one.
Significant slope or grade change?
Existing drainage issues (standing water, runoff onto neighbors)?
Narrow side-yard access (under 4 ft) or gates that block equipment?
Demo of existing pool, deck, or hardscape needed?
Mature trees AE would need to protect or remove?
Overhead power, transformers, or low-clearance issues?
Known easements, septic, well, or utility right-of-way?
Property is in an HOA with architectural review?
Project likely needs a city permit (pool, structure, gas, electric)?
Known soil issues (caliche, expansive, fill, contamination)?
This scorecard helps identify topics for review. It is not a site inspection, engineering review, utility locate, permit determination, HOA approval, code determination, or final feasibility decision.
