FAQ

Quick answers for common landscape permit situations.

When does a city require a landscape permit package?

Common triggers include new construction, additions, major remodels, and projects that change hardscape or irrigation. Some jurisdictions request landscape/irrigation documents as part of final permit clearance or as a response to plan check comments.

Do I need MWELO?

In California, MWELO requirements depend on project size and jurisdiction. We confirm what applies to your address and scope, then prepare only what’s necessary for approval.

Can you work from an existing architectural plan set?

Yes. We often integrate landscape sheets with an architectural permit set or prepare a standalone landscape package that coordinates with your site plan.

Can you help if I already have redlines?

Yes. Upload your plan check comments (PDF) and we’ll focus the scope on resolving what the reviewer actually needs — cleanly and quickly.
