What affects the price
When you get a quote for landscaping, the final number depends on a few moving parts. The total square footage of your yard is the biggest factor, followed by the specific types of plants, hardscaping materials, or irrigation systems you choose. If your property requires significant grading, clearing away heavy debris, or accessibility challenges for our equipment, those tasks add labor hours. We also consider how much ongoing maintenance the design requires. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
This involves the routine maintenance of your grass, including mowing, edging, fertilization, and weed control. You should look for these services when your yard starts to look overgrown or the grass shows signs of thinning or discoloration. Keeping a consistent schedule helps maintain healthy turf through changing seasons. Costs depend on your lot size, the density of the grass, and the frequency of visits.
During the heat of summer, our focus shifts to hydration and lawn health. We monitor irrigation timers to ensure plants aren't stressed by the sun, and we keep up with routine mowing to prevent weeds from taking over. If your yard needs a quick color boost, we can install heat-tolerant annuals that stay bright even during July and August.
