Services
Residential Mowing
Our residential mowing service includes weekly or bi-weekly lawn cutting, weed whacking, edging where applicable, and debris removal. We maintain consistent schedules starting April through November, automatically adjusting for weather conditions. Clients receive predictable service without needing to coordinate start/stop dates each season.
Weed Control
We provide targeted weed control services using round-up spray applications for driveways, flower beds, rock beds, and patios. Our technicians handle monthly or bi-monthly treatments to maintain clean, weed-free outdoor spaces. Each application costs $35 for standard residential lots in Ocean Pines.
Seasonal Mowing
Our seasonal mowing program operates from April through November, covering the complete growing season. Clients can modify service parameters at any time while maintaining automatic scheduling. We handle timing logistics so property owners avoid seasonal coordination hassles for primary residences or investment properties.
Online Bill Pay
We offer convenient online payment options for monthly billing cycles. This digital solution eliminates the need for in-person payments while maintaining secure transaction processing. Clients preferring traditional methods can also pay by check with seasonal payment plan options available.
Edging Services
Included in our standard mowing service, professional edging maintains clean property lines along sidewalks, driveways, and garden beds. Our technicians use precision techniques to enhance lawn aesthetics while maintaining functional separation between grass and hardscaped areas during each service visit.
