Our Company

Landscaping Inspection Services (LIS) was established in 2019 by WD Michlin as a way to provide reliable, unbiased inspections for insurance adjusters in Southern California. Landscaping Inspection Services encompasses a nationwide network of landscaping inspectors and experts, and performs inspections all across the country.

The idea for Landscaping Inspection Services began following the success of Swimming Pool Inspection Service (SPIS) founded in 2009 to help pools in Southern California come into compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). This law required pools and spas to switch from having only one main drain to having two, in order to minimize the force of suction on any one drain. Soon after, SPIS began providing inspections for pools and spas that had been affected by Southern California’s wildfires.  A survey of SPIS’s clients revealed the need to expand services into the landscaping realm.

The services which Landscaping Inspection Services provides continues the legacy already proven by Swimming Pool Inspection Services; our inspections are comprehensive, and in addition, we provide engineering inspections, as well as related services. At Landscaping Inspection Services, our goal is to help the insurance, asset and risk management fields easily identify landscaping problems, as well as pinpoint the cause of loss for insurance claims, both for residential and commercial facilities.

Landscaping Inspection Services is a DBA of American Management Experts of Los Angeles, Inc.
