Lawn Maintenance
Our professional mowing and edging service maintains optimal grass height between 2.5-3.5 inches using sharp, balanced blades. We adjust mowing patterns seasonally, bag clippings during peak growth periods, and perform debris removal to ensure clean, manicured lawns. The service includes weekly mowing and biweekly edging from March through November, with technicians leaving personalized notes after each visit.
Landscape Design
We create customized outdoor spaces combining aesthetic appeal with functional sustainability. Our designs integrate plants, hardscaping elements, and irrigation systems to enhance property value. The process includes site analysis, concept development, and installation of features like patios, walkways, and planting beds that complement architectural styles while meeting practical needs for outdoor living spaces.
Mosquito Control
This natural pest control program uses plant-based oils to reduce mosquito populations while protecting people, pets, and the environment. Technicians apply treatments every 14 days from April-October, focusing on perimeter areas, wooded edges, and standing water locations. The service includes monitoring with yellow glue cards and guaranteed re-treatment within five days of customer notification about persistent issues.
Irrigation Systems
Our irrigation solutions optimize water usage through professionally designed systems that maintain lawn health while conserving resources. Services include system installation, seasonal maintenance, and smart controller programming. We conduct soil analysis to determine optimal watering schedules and perform repairs to ensure efficient operation throughout the growing season.
Shrub and Bed Care
This comprehensive program maintains plant health through fertilization, disease prevention, and precise pruning techniques. Our technicians perform 10 annual visits for bed detailing, pest monitoring, and seasonal trimming that promotes flowering and controls growth patterns. The service combines organic treatments with manual weeding to maintain clean, vibrant landscape beds that enhance curb appeal.
