The management of public parks and gardens in an average dimension municipality could represent an important part of every year's economic balance. There could be many problems related to this topic, for instance the increasing amount of these kind of environmental areas, the trying to improve them and the growth of different types of buildings and furniture. All these features contribute to harden the management. The major difficulty is the one related to the outlay prediction and the time organization of works. In general, a low level of organization can become a risk in terms of use of human and financial resources, which could become unreasonable. On the contrary, this result can be avoided by a well-run organization, so that more and more qualified resources can be allocated to improve the service for the town and its inhabitants.

An Example:
