01 / PLANNING
Walk through the work area together.
Confirm the agreed fence line, gates and sections to remain or be removed. Point out irrigation, landscape lighting, nearby structures and anything else that could affect the work area. Identify movable items separately from work that belongs in the contracted scope.
Discuss equipment access, parking, material delivery and where removed pieces will be staged. For a home in St. Lucie West near Clover Park, include the delivery route in those notes. Ask what the homeowner should move and what the crew will handle. Avoid making assumptions about heavy objects, vegetation removal or access through a neighboring property.
02 / PLANNING
Confirm the preparation responsibilities.
Check who is handling applicable permits, association documents, utility coordination and any required inspections. Sunshine 811 identifies fence installation as work that calls for notification before digging. Follow its current process and discuss privately owned lines separately.
Have the final layout, product information and written scope available. Agree on a contact person and how questions or changed conditions will be handled. A short written record is more useful than several inconsistent verbal instructions to different people.
03 / PLANNING
Plan for the yard while it is a work area.
Arrange appropriate separate space for pets and keep children away from the work. Discuss any temporary openings before removal begins. Where a fence serves a safety-related barrier function, establish an appropriate safe arrangement with the qualified provider in advance.
Ask when the work area can be used again and how the final walk-through will happen. Check cleanup, gate operation, remaining items and the care documents against the agreed scope. Do not assume completion or access timing from an informal estimate.

One more thing.
Should I remove all the planting along the line myself?
First agree on the needed work area and responsibility. Some plants may remain, while other work may require specific handling. Avoid doing irreversible clearing based on a rough assumption.
