Removal, access, grading, drainage, base work and soil preparation can change the scope before finish materials arrive. Ask the proposal to explain those responsibilities and any exclusions.

Which Property Conditions Should the Contractor Evaluate?
Walk the yard together. Point out puddling, erosion, downspout discharge, dry areas, damaged irrigation, difficult gates, utility equipment, mature trees, grade changes, and spaces that are hard to use. Ask how these conditions affect layout, preparation, or project order.
The Colorado Springs service-area guide covers local planning considerations in more detail. The important point is that water movement, soil preparation, exposure, and access should be evaluated as connected parts of the property—not as afterthoughts once materials arrive.
What Should a Written Landscaping Proposal Explain?
Look for enough detail to understand what will be removed, prepared, supplied, installed, and cleaned up. Where relevant, the scope may address layout, grading, drainage, soil or base preparation, material type and quantity, irrigation adjustments, planting, edges, transitions, and initial care.
Also ask what is excluded, how undecided selections are handled, who approves a change, and how a change affects cost or timing. If a warranty or follow-up commitment matters to your decision, request the exact terms in writing instead of assuming every contractor offers the same coverage.
