How it works

Verified landscaping vendors propose on your work

On VendoRFP, verified vendors propose on mowing, edging, trimming, irrigation checks, and seasonal color for common-area grounds, entrances, and medians, and run efficient irrigation under standing drought restrictions. You pick who gets the San Diego contract.

You invite the vendors you already use

Invite the landscaping vendor your community already uses. They enroll, their insurance is verified, and they can propose on your work anywhere in the US. Any verified vendor that serves your area can propose too.

Visits and invoices land in one dashboard

Every visit, proof photo, service record, and invoice for your San Diego community lands in one dashboard, where your board can open any of them without asking anyone for a copy.

You pick who you sign with

Vendors send proposals. Your management team reads each proposal alongside the vendor that sent it, can put them to a recorded board vote, and signs with the one it picked. If you want a different vendor a year from now, you run the same steps again.

Your board signs with the company. The crew and the crew lead are on that company’s payroll.

Map your grounds

The map is the pricing basis

The same climate-mapped grounds that price San Diego's other services back this one too.

Credential dates

Credentials are held to the date on them

VendoRFP verifies every vendor’s insurance and trade credentials before that vendor can propose, and tracks the expiration dates from then on.

Notice we send before a policy’s expiration date; the day after it, new work pauses
A lapseIf a policy lapses, the vendor can’t propose on your work from the day after its expiration date, and you can’t send them out or put them on the schedule until it is back in force.
CertificationsTrade certifications follow the same rule — a vendor has to hold a current one the day it proposes.
Already on siteA vendor already on site finishes the visit and files the record.

The regulator

Who regulates landscaping in California

General and specialty licensing, including the C-27 landscaping and C-53 swimming-pool classifications. Landscape, irrigation, and tree work sit inside trade licensing in many states. An unlicensed vendor working the common areas is a liability the association ends up carrying.

Authority of record

Questions

What San Diego boards ask first

How do we get landscaping proposals in San Diego?
Start with the vendors you already use. Invite them, they enroll and get verified here, and they can propose on your work anywhere in the US. Any verified vendor that serves your area can propose too, and your own list is the fastest way to get proposals in hand.
How does landscaping in San Diego differ from anywhere else?
Standing water restrictions put irrigation auditing inside the San Diego landscape scope itself, which is where a board expects to find it rather than on a separate invoice.
What if a landscaping vendor isn't working out?
Changing vendors is your call, and your act. You ask for new proposals, read the vendors alongside the numbers, and pick who you contract with next. The history, photos, and invoices from the old vendor stay in your dashboard.
Does the automatic mapping work here?
Type the address and the community comes up on a satellite image. Outline the common-area grounds yourself, or adjust the outline that comes back — the estimate runs off whatever shape you accept.
