Opportunity BasketSodPrep Inspector Network
A marketplace connecting homeowners with certified lawn-prep inspectors who conduct on-site soil assessments, provide a written prep plan (tilling yes/no, soil amendments needed, timeline, cost estimate), and coordinate with local sod installers. Inspectors are trained landscapers or soil specialists who earn per inspection; homeowners pay a flat fee ($150–$300) and get a binding prep roadmap that eliminates guesswork and reduces installation failures.
