Commercial landscape maintenance programs

Every project’s landscape has its own unique requirements. With this in mind, we develop all-inclusive maintenance programs tailored to meet each property’s specific needs — and our efficient service organization allows us to realize a landscape’s potential while keeping costs within budget.

An all-inclusive program puts every element of your grounds under one predictable contract: weekly visits, seasonal adjustments, tree and shrub care, irrigation checks and seasonal color. Your project supervisor walks the property, adjusts the plan to the weather and reports to you — before small issues become line items.

What an all-inclusive program covers

A partial list of what our maintenance programs include:

• Weekly landscape service visits by trained crews
• Mowing, edging, pruning, hedging and detailed cleanup
• Seasonal color installation and replacement
• Turf fertilization, aeration and renovation scheduling
• Tree and shrub trimming on a season-appropriate calendar
• Irrigation checks and controller programming at every visit
• Continuous pest and disease monitoring

How we keep quality high and crews stable

Our supervisors are promoted from within — many with five, six or seven-plus years with the company. We retain them with training (including on-site English classes) and advancement, which means your property is served by crews that know it by heart. That stability is the foundation of our 95-percent-plus contract retention rate.

Turf management, built into the program

Turf is often the first thing visitors judge. Our turf management covers mowing frequency by growth rate, balancing irrigation coverage to eliminate “hot spots”, fertilization timed to season and soil temperature, and autumn renovation — the one time of year we can effectively eradicate the toughest unwanted grasses and re-seed. See our summer notes on hot spots and autumn renovation column for the details.

Focused areas, efficient budgets

By concentrating on defined service areas and Class ’A’ property types, we maximize the service provided for the dollar. It is the same ‘managed care’ approach we introduced in Orange County 14 years before our San Diego and Agoura Hills expansions — and it is the reason our clients stay.
