Protecting Your Property: Stay Green’s Role in Hazard Mitigation
In California, the risk of premises liability lawsuits continues to rise, with slip, trip, and fall cases among the leading claims filed against property owners. At Stay Green, we recognize that proactive landscape maintenance plays a critical role in mitigating these risks—and protecting both our clients and the public.
As your landscape partner, we take hazard mitigation seriously. Our crews are trained to monitor for a wide range of potential issues during every site visit, including:
- Uplifted sidewalks or cracked concrete
- Leaking irrigation valves create slip hazards
- Low-hanging tree branches impeding walkways or vehicle access
- Erosion or sinkholes in turf and planter areas
- Overgrown vegetation obstructing signage, sightlines, or lighting
- Debris or fallen limbs after storms
- Broken or unstable hardscape elements, like retaining walls or curbs
When hazards are identified, Stay Green follows a strict documentation and communication process. Our teams conduct regular job walks, using detailed checklists to guide inspections. We photograph hazards, document their exact locations, and immediately escalate them to client contacts through our streamlined reporting process.
From there, we quickly generate work orders, assign crews, and prioritize the necessary repairs to address the issue swiftly and minimize exposure. It’s a seamless, proactive approach that closes the gap between hazard detection and hazard correction.
With Stay Green, you can trust that our honest, highly responsive, and perfectly sized team is acting as your eyes on the ground. Our commitment to detailed site audits, rapid reporting, and fast resolution gives you added protection—and peace of mind—knowing that your landscape isn’t just beautiful, but safer for everyone who visits.
