One thing that I do is to always be at the Inspection sight at less an hour, before I'm to meet my clients there.
Our subject for this part of the inspection of the home, is going to be the vegetation around the home.
First Time Home Buyers place accompany me, to take a walk around the home so I can show a reason a home can end up with wood rot going on.

As you can see for your self, in both of these photos the vegetation is just way to close to the home.

The vegetation such as trees, shrubs, plants and/or vines are in contact with in or less than one foot away from the home's structure exterior. Vegetation can serve as a conduit for all kinds of wood destroying insects and can endup retaining moisture against the exterior after it rains. All vegetation should be pruned and/ or removed as necessary to maintain a one foot clearance between it and the home's structure's exterior.
In the post just after this one, you can see just how really important this is. And why a home owner really needs to keep up with the maintenance of their home.
