Landscape Maintenance
Scheduled visits that keep turf, beds and shrubs clean, healthy and consistent all year, from commercial landscaping programs to HOA landscape maintenance and apartment landscaping.
- Mowing, edging, string trimming and blowing on a set visit schedule
- Trimming around tree wells, buildings, beds and other obstacles
- Clippings and debris blown from sidewalks, curbs, parking islands and first-floor breezeways
- Weed control in shrub beds, curbs, natural areas and expansion joints
- Shrub pruning as needed, with trimmings hauled off-site
- Scheduled cut-backs of native Texas grasses
- Slow-release fertilization of turf and shrubs, plus pre- and post-emergent applications
- Fire-ant mound treatment
Visit frequency is built around your property and budget. Commercial agreements are commonly written as 26- or 44-visit programs.

Seasonal Color, Mulch & Winter Rye
The finishing touches that make a community or storefront look cared for, quoted separately so you control the budget.
- Seasonal color installed in beds and pots, typically three rotations a year (pansies, begonias, snapdragons, zinnias and more)
- Old color removed, beds tilled, new plants watered in and fertilized
- Spent blooms and plant debris removed to keep beds sharp
- Property-wide mulch in Texas native hardwood, black or red-dyed
- Winter rye overseeding for green turf through the cool season
Tree & Shrub Care
Healthy, well-shaped trees and shrubs, plus the bigger clean-up jobs that tend to get put off.

- Tree assessments and site reports identifying dead or hazardous trees
- Arbor proposals for larger tree work and removals
- Hedge and shrub shaping, including heavy cut-backs when needed

Common questions
Do you work with both commercial properties and homeowners?
Yes. We run maintenance programs for multifamily, commercial and HOA properties and also take on residential projects like patios, walkways, drainage and plantings.
How is extra work handled on a maintenance agreement?
Anything outside the agreement, like repairs, color, mulch or tree work, gets its own written proposal. The property manager approves and signs every bid before we start.
Can you take over a property that has been neglected?
Yes. Even the most neglected areas can be addressed and brought back through our services. We start by walking and evaluating the property with you, then put together a clear plan and proposal.
Can I get renderings before I commit to a project?
For design and hardscape projects, we can prepare mock-ups and renderings so you can see what the finished work will look like.
