One company. Every season. One number.

How the visit goes

1. We walk the property with youWe look at where the water goes, where the sun hits, what's already doing well and what's been quietly dying for three years.
2. You get the plan in writingPlant list, bed shapes, quantities, dates. You read it and approve it before we order a single thing.
3. Out with the old, in with the newThe old material and the spoil leave on our own truck that day. We don't subcontract the removal or leave it in a pile out back.
4. We walk it again when it's doneYou get watering instructions for the first season, which is honestly when new plants live or die.

What we'll need from you

• A rough idea of what's bothering you. "The front looks tired" is a perfectly good starting point.
• Access to the areas you want looked at, so we can measure and quote it properly on the first visit.
• Any underground you know about: irrigation lines, invisible fence, septic field, drainage.
• Whether there's a date you're working toward, like a graduation party or a listing photo.

Estimates are free and there's no obligation.

Things a pro would tell you

• Mulch goes two to three inches deep and never piled against the trunk. Those "mulch volcanoes" you see everywhere rot the bark and kill the tree slowly.
• A bed edge cut into the soil holds its line for years. Plastic edging heaves out of the ground after two winters.
• Plants go in at the depth the root flare wants, not the depth the pot was. Planting too deep is the number one reason a new shrub just sits there and sulks.
• Fall is the better planting window around here. Warm soil, cool air, and a whole winter of root growth before the plant has to face a summer.

How the visit goes

1. We look at all of it firstBeds, fence lines, behind the shed, that strip along the driveway everybody forgets about. Then we tell you what we're doing.
2. Clear it out, then cut it backDebris comes out first. Then beds get cut back, edges get re-cut, and every hard surface gets blown clean.
3. It goes on our truckLoaded and hauled the same day.
4. Set up for what's nextA spring visit ends ready for mulch and the first cut. A fall visit ends ready for winter.

What we'll need from you

• Ten minutes to walk it with us. That is usually all it takes for us to know what we're dealing with.
• Whether anything is staying. People often want a brush pile or a woodpile left alone, and we'd rather ask than guess.
• Gate codes, dogs, and where we can park a truck.

Estimates are free and there's no obligation.

Things a pro would tell you

• Leave the ornamental grasses and the perennial seed heads standing over winter. They protect the crown and the birds eat from them. Cut them in March.
• Leaves matted on the lawn all winter are what cause those greasy bare patches you find in April.
• Beds get cleared before mulch goes down, not mulched over. Mulching on top of last year's leaves just buries the problem.
• Storm limbs that are still under tension will spring when you cut them. If something is hung up, leave it and let us take it.

How the visit goes

1. We measure and give you a dayYour property gets a fixed slot on a route, so the people cutting it already know your gates, your sprinkler heads and your dog.
2. Every week through the seasonCut, trim the edges, blow the walks and drive clean. Clippings stay on the lawn as free nitrogen unless they're heavy enough to clump.
3. Height moves with the weatherHigher in the heat, lower in spring and fall. Blade height is a decision we make, not a setting we forget about.
4. You tell us if something's offWeekly service means you can point at one thing and it is handled on the next visit, not three weeks later.

What we'll need from you

• The address, so we can measure it properly instead of guessing over the phone.
• Gate codes, dogs, and anything in the lawn we should steer around.
• Whether you want clippings left on the lawn or bagged.

Estimates are free and there's no obligation.

Things a pro would tell you

• Never take off more than a third of the blade in one cut. Scalping is what lets crabgrass in, not the heat.
• Cool season grass around here holds up best at about three to three and a half inches through the summer.
• We sharpen blades on a schedule. A dull blade tears the leaf tip instead of cutting it, and those tips go straw brown within two days.
• Stripes come from bending the grass, not cutting it. That's why we reverse the pattern between visits.

How the visit goes

1. Sign on before winterRoutes get built in the fall and they fill up. A property added mid storm is a property nobody can make promises about.
2. We agree a trigger depthIn writing, so you know exactly what makes us show up instead of wondering.
3. Clear first, then treatPlow and shovel, then salt or ice melt on the cleared surface. Treating over packed snow mostly just wastes material.
4. We come back if it keeps fallingA long storm gets more than one pass instead of one big dig out at the end.

What we'll need from you

• Whether it's a commercial lot or a residential drive, and roughly how big.
• Where we're allowed to pile snow. This one matters more than people expect.
• Anything along the edges we should mark: sprinkler heads, low walls, bed edges, pavers.

Estimates are free and there's no obligation.

Things a pro would tell you

• Rock salt basically stops working around 15 degrees. Below that you need a calcium or magnesium chloride blend.
• Where the snow gets piled really does matter. Put it in the wrong corner and it melts back across the drive and freezes into a sheet overnight.
• Reflective markers along the drive before the first storm will save your bed edges and your sprinkler heads all winter.
• Salt kills turf and burns the evergreens along the edge. How much and where is a real decision, not a case of more being better.

How the visit goes

1. We book a window, not a dayTiming follows the trees, not the calendar. Aeration and seed go in early fall. The last leaf visit waits until the oaks are finished.
2. Core aerate, then seedWe pull soil plugs and leave them to break down, then put seed straight into the open holes while the contact is good. Those two things together are the whole job.
3. Leaves off by vacuumVacuumed into the truck instead of bagged at the curb. Beds and fence lines get cleared too, not just the open lawn.
4. Cut back and close outBeds tidied, edges re-cut, everything blown clean. Grasses and seed heads left standing until March.

What we'll need from you

• Roughly how many mature trees drop on the property. That's the number that decides whether you need one visit or three.
• Whether the lawn has thin or bare areas you want seeded, and where.
• Whether anything was seeded or treated recently, so we don't work against it.

Estimates are free and there's no obligation.

Things a pro would tell you

• Early fall is the seeding window here. Warm soil, cooling air, and no crabgrass competing for the space.
• Spring seeding fights both the heat and the pre-emergent you'd otherwise want down, because a pre-emergent stops your new seed too.
• Leave the aeration cores on the lawn. They look messy for about two weeks and then they're gone, having done the work.
• New seed needs steady moisture for two to three weeks. One missed hot weekend can undo the whole thing.
