What should the landscaper do first to assess the viability of adding water features?

• A. Ask the customers in the area if they are interested in adding a water feature to their gardens
• B. Determine if there is a supply chain available
• C. Perform a financial audit to determine if there is enough money available to add the new service
• D. Contact the water department to see if they can support the extra demand for water

Answer: (A)

Understanding whether customers actually want water features guides whether the venture makes sense. The first move is to test market interest among people in the area who would be potential clients. This input tells you if there’s real demand, helps shape pricing and service details, and indicates whether the investment in equipment, training, and marketing is justified. If interest is strong, you can then evaluate practicalities like supply chains, costs, and regulatory or water-use considerations with a clearer picture of expected demand. If interest is weak, those later steps become less relevant, saving time and resources.
