You probably wouldn’t allow your home to go without proper care and maintenance as it would deteriorate quickly and lose value. The same applies to your landscape. You have made a significant investment in your landscaping and it needs to be properly cared for through a professional turf and plant health care program designed to protect that investment and ensure a healthier and more enduring landscape. A horticulturist will be assigned to manage your property and assist you with additional needs you may have on your site.

The price for a landscape maintenance program will vary from site to site. Getting a proposal is simple. We will survey your site, evaluate the property’s needs, and develop a proposal that is customized to your specific circumstances.

Full service maintenance includes:
• Spring cleanup
• Fall cleanup
• Mowing and Line Trimming
• Weeding and debris removal
• Turf Fertilization, Pre and Post Emergent Weed Control Applications
• In-season pruning
• Dormant pruning
• Perennial bed management and rose care

Available services:
• Annual Flower Design and Installation
• Watering
• Core aeration
• Seed and Sod Installation
• Mulch and Compost Installation
• Buckthorn Removal
• Transplanting
• Small garden design and installation
• Native restoration

You will receive a weekly site visit except during our spring (April) and fall clean up (November) operations. During those months you will receive one to two visits per month based on the needs of your site as evaluated by your account manager. This is figured into your overall budget on your proposal.

Once you set up your landscape maintenance program we will bill you every month. Other services are billed as the work is performed. Please see our Standard Terms and Conditions for our payment terms.

An Account Manager is assigned to each customer. They are here to answer any questions you may have, solve problems and address issues on your property as they arise. They will also assist in any new ideas for improving the property.

Your crew has a crew leader who assures all operations are completed weekly. You may speak with the crew leader or call your account manager should you have questions.

No. Clippings contain water and elements that are desirable for soil and turf. Your soil contains microbes and fungi that break down the clippings to a form usable by the plants. Also, these clippings will keep soil covered, minimizing evaporation. As the clippings decompose, they return organic matter to your soil, helping create tiny spaces (macropores and micropores) for water and air, improving percolation and fighting compaction.

Most landscape plants require some form of pruning, whether to preserve a loose, natural form, or to create tight, compact shapes. Each individual tree or shrub has its own, unique pruning needs, depending on variety, exposure and desired result.
Unless you have formal hedges or topiaries, our pruning philosophy is to encourage the natural form of the plant. The majority of our in-season pruning focuses on removing spent blooms and removing dead or damaged limbs. It is equally important to know when not to prune. If you prune some species during the summer you may limit the plant’s ability to produce another season’s interest (i.e. berries, hips, fall blooms). Because it is the best time of year to observe the natural shape of plants and certain plant materials respond better to pruning that would normally stress them during the active growing season, we also provide one dormant pruning (Feb-Mar).

In the event of a rain day, we determine if our operations will be harmful to your landscape (i.e. create ruts, tracking of mud, etc.). If we decide we may cause harm then we will not perform maintenance that day and schedule you the following day.

We offer four possible rotations of annual flowers (or seasonal color): spring, summer, fall and winter. The timing of each installation depends solely on the weather. A rough time line follows:
Spring: bulbs late October / early November, spring plantings Late March-Early April
Summer: after Memorial Day
Fall: September
Winter greens: mid-November

Because every lawn is different, that is a question to ask your account manager. Aeration punches deep holes through thatch, turf, and compacted clay soil. Core aerators then deposit these plugs on top of the turf, where they eventually decompose. Over time, this process will de-compact soil, allowing for greater percolation. It also increases the surface area of the turf, encouraging beneficial aerobic bacterial and fungal growth.

Mulch is an organic covering applied to tree and shrub beds.
Mulch beautifies your property - gives it appeal
Mulch reduces weeds - keeping maintenance to a minimum
Mulch retains ground moisture – reduces the need for watering
Mulch protects roots from heat damage - it's a natural insulation
Mulch enriches the soil as it decomposes – reducing the need for constant fertilizing
