What Does a Landscape Works Inspector Do?
A Landscape Works Inspector plays an important quality-control role during construction. Rather than performing the landscape construction directly, the inspector monitors completed and ongoing work to determine whether it complies with approved plans, specifications, standards, and project requirements.
The position requires a combination of technical knowledge, site experience, observation skills, documentation, and communication. Inspectors must be able to identify potential problems early and communicate findings clearly to contractors and project management.
