Looking for answers from apartment owners.

[Mitchell Cord Cantrell]

Sorry for the odd title and  description but it is hard to ask this question with few words.

I own a power washing business and I mostly wash walkways, sidewalks breezeways, etc and I have tried to get into doing jobs for the big apartment complexes here in Phoenix and I have gotten a few but not many. These places really do need a power washing because it is littered with gum, dirt, liquid stains and so on and really does make the places look terrible but these landlords will not budge on getting it done but will happily spend a a couple thousand a month on landscapers to trim bushes and cut the grass every week. So I guess my question is, why do you spend thousands on keeping the property nice with landscaping but then let it look like crap in areas that everyone not only sees but has to walk on?
