Productive Property Audit

Most landscape decisions are made on instinct. A designer walks your property, points at things, and draws something that looks good for a few years before it stops working.

The reason: nobody read the site first.

The Productive Property Audit is the site assessment framework Eden & Dane uses on every client property before a single plant is selected, a single design is drawn, or a single dollar is spent. It is the same process applied to properties valued at $1M–$5M+ in the DC metro area, the Hamptons, and New England.

Now available as a standalone printable workbook.

Print it out. Put it in a binder. Walk your property section by section and fill in what you find.

WHAT YOU'LL PRODUCE:

A complete Site Intelligence Profile covering your land's climate, hydrology, solar exposure, soil health, existing ecosystem, and financial potential across four dimensions — food production, water capture, energy offset, and property value appreciation.

FOUR MODULES:

· Module 1 - Site Fundamentals: boundaries, utilities (811 call protocol), climate zone, soil assessment, existing infrastructure

· Module 2 - Water & Energy Intelligence: rainfall capture potential, ShadeMaps sun study walkthrough, Google Sunroof solar analysis

· Module 3 - Ecosystem Inventory: existing plant inventory, bloom & harvest calendar, wildlife and pest pressure mapping

· Module 4 - The Property ROI Stack: four-layer financial model calculating your property's unrealized annual and long-term value

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Landowners with 0.5-50 acres who want to make informed decisions about their property before hiring a designer or spending on installation. Also useful for designers and consultants who want a structured site assessment framework.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR:

Anyone looking for a shortcut. This workbook requires you to actually walk your property, look things up, and document what you find. It takes 2-4 hours to complete properly.
