For condominiums where the association pays for landscaping, yard work, etc - what is a good, quick way to estimate expenses?

It has changed the landscape.

My wife and I lived on Alpine Ave in Los Gatos for 30 years.

The only immediate repairs/upgrades that are needed are gutters, pitch the landscaping away from the house, and painting the garage (being required by the city for the rental inspection). 

This has included ALL of the landscaping and gardening they did in the back yard.  

I am going to start a significant remodel of my house in Santa Monica and wanted to maximize all possible rebates, grants or energy rebates that are available for new roofs, windows, appliances, insulation, landscaping..ect.I have a basic list (local municipality and appliance rebates) but didn't know if there was anything that I was missing or didn't know about...possibly other agencies?

I take photos that show every angle of landscaping, home, driveway, fencing, etc. 

Usually, the higher ones tend to be anything with the plumbing/sewer and landscaping.

If it is a master planned community with a large common areas (perhaps a pool) and extensive landscaping could also be in that category.   

@John West Look at the plumbing/sewer, landscaping, trash and road maintenance to name a few.
