You spent good money making your yard beautiful. Maintenance is how it stays that way. Beds fill with weeds, shrubs outgrow their shape, and lawns thin out without consistent, knowledgeable care — and by the time it looks rough, catching up is a project in itself.

We offer ongoing maintenance tailored to your specific landscape, not a one-size mow-and-go. Because we know what we planted and how it should look, our care keeps the design intact instead of slowly erasing it.

Whether you want full-service upkeep or just help with the heavy seasonal work, we build a plan around your yard and your schedule.

Where Maintenance Makes the Difference

Weekends lost to yard work

If keeping up with the yard eats your free time, handing off the routine work buys back your summer.

Beds overtaken by weeds

Neglected beds fill in fast. Regular bed maintenance keeps them clean and your plantings healthy and visible.

A thinning, patchy lawn

Thin turf, bare spots, and weeds signal a lawn that needs consistent mowing, fertilization, and attention to bounce back.

Shrubs and perennials out of shape

Overgrown, unpruned plants lose their form and health. Proper seasonal pruning keeps them looking intentional.

How Our Maintenance Works

  1. 1

    Walk & Plan

    We walk your landscape, learn what is planted and how you want it kept, and build a maintenance plan to match.

  2. 2

    Regular Service Visits

    Mowing, edging, and trimming on a consistent schedule keep the lawn and edges crisp all season.

  3. 3

    Bed & Plant Care

    We weed, mulch, and prune beds and shrubs at the right times so plantings stay healthy and in shape.

  4. 4

    Fertilization & Health

    We feed the lawn and monitor plant health, catching issues before they become expensive replacements.

  5. 5

    Seasonal Transitions

    We handle the spring wake-up and fall wind-down, and provide a calendar so nothing critical gets missed.

Care Built Around Your Landscape

Generic lawn services treat every yard the same. We do not, because the plantings we install have specific needs. A native bed wants different care than a formal hedge; a young tree needs different attention than an established one. Knowing what is in your yard means we prune, feed, and mulch on the schedule each element actually needs.

Timing is everything in our climate. We fertilize when it helps and not when it hurts, prune spring bloomers and summer bloomers at their proper times, and apply three inches of shredded hardwood mulch before winter to insulate roots against freeze-thaw heaving. Every client gets a seasonal maintenance calendar built for their specific plantings and hardscape, so even the tasks you handle yourself happen at the right time.

Prefer to do most of it yourself? We are happy to take just the heavy or technical work and leave the rest to you.

What Affects the Cost of Maintenance

Maintenance is priced by the size of your property and how much you want us to handle. A full-service plan differs from occasional seasonal help.

Property size

Larger lawns and more planting beds take more time and material to keep up each visit.

Scope of service

Full-service care costs more than a plan covering only mowing or only the seasonal heavy lifting.

Visit frequency

Weekly service maintains a higher standard than every-other-week and is priced accordingly.

Landscape complexity

Detailed beds, hedges, and specialty plantings need more skilled attention than plain lawn.

We build a maintenance plan to fit your yard and your budget, with clear pricing and no long-term lock-in surprises.

Lawn Care FAQs

No. Some clients want everything handled; others just want help with the heavy seasonal work and do the rest themselves. We build the plan around what you actually want.
