How do I inspect a tropical garden and pond?

Question

Accepted Answer

Identify drainage, irrigation, tree health, roots near buildings, unstable palms, invasive plants, retaining walls, mosquito breeding, pond pumps and the labour needed to maintain the design. Ask which plants need frequent watering or specialist pruning. Large gardens and ponds are lifestyle features, but they should be valued with their ongoing time, staff and water costs. A dry-season viewing should not be treated as proof of wet-season performance. For Property Inspection & Coastal Risks, it turns general interest into better questions for Khao Lak Property Guide.
