The Green Machine

Regular mowing at the right height with edging and trimming, seasonal fertilizing so the lawn grows thick and green, and weed control — pre-emergent treatments plus spot treatments — chosen so they kill the weeds without hurting the grass.

Keeping beds looking good: weeding, deadheading, pruning perennials, refreshing mulch, and seasonal spring and fall cleanups that clear leaves and debris.

Trimming and pruning (dead, broken or crossing branches, canopy raised off roofs and walks), safe removal of dead, damaged or unwanted trees with stump grinding, and planting the right tree for the spot so it grows healthy for decades.

A plan for your whole yard before anything is built: layout, plants, patios, walkways, lighting and irrigation, drawn to fit how you use the space and your budget.

The built parts of a landscape: paver and stone patios, walkways, steps, borders and edging, laid on a properly compacted base so they stay level for years.

Walls that hold back soil on slopes, create level areas and prevent erosion, built from block, stone or timber with proper drainage behind them.

Installing, repairing and adjusting sprinkler and drip systems so every part of the yard gets the right amount of water, including controllers, leak fixes and seasonal start-up and shut-down.

Fixing standing water and soggy areas with grading, French drains, dry creek beds, downspout extensions and catch basins that move water away from the house.

Grounds care and landscaping for businesses, HOAs, apartments and offices: regular maintenance, seasonal color, irrigation and property improvements on a contract.
