Over Engineering

A reference to modern groundskeeping or greenkeeping practices that typically have high or unnecessary, inputs of resources. A focus of over engineering is often on a single issue or multiple single issues rather than taking a holistic approach to turf management. The apparent addressing of the issue at hand seems quite plausible yet is often based on a suggestion through word of mouth, social media, or advertisement, which is occasionally spurious or disingenuous and which doesn't focus on emphasizing the need to ensure any actions undertaken are actually fit for purpose for the situation, or customer. This implies that unnecessary tinkering with maintenance inputs results in inefficient use of resources to achieve a desired outcome. Over engineering is a questionable practice which contrasts with a sustainable approach to turf management. See also Over Delivery.
