You’re not required to provide water or restroom access, but it’s always appreciated. Landscaping crews typically come prepared with their own drinking water and plan for restroom breaks off-site. That said, offering access to a hose spigot for refills or letting the crew use a bathroom can make the workday more efficient and reduce downtime. On hot summer days in Salt Lake and Davis Counties, having a quick way to top off water bottles helps keep everyone safe and hydrated. Allowing restroom use also prevents the crew from leaving mid-day and losing valuable work time. If you’re comfortable offering access, it’s a thoughtful gesture that supports the team working on your property. If you’d rather not, that’s completely fine—just let the project manager know in advance so they can plan accordingly. Good companies anticipate these needs and won’t pressure you. Whether you provide access or not, clear communication ensures the crew stays productive and respectful of your home.
