A landscaper is a company that not just designs and installs landscaping for residential and commercial properties, but one that goes beyond just maintenance to management of the landscape design. They follow strict guidelines so you can have peace of mind:
Mowing
Mowing frequency is customized based on the different growth rates of the seasons. Certain grasses will be mowed more than others: for example, St. Augustine turf will be cut up to 44 times per year and Bahia turf will be cut up to 21 times per year.
Rotary mowers will be used and the blades will be kept sharp and maintained so grass is not torn. Height of grass will be determined for optimal health of lawn.
Mowing patterns will ensure an even distribution of clippings for appearance and protection, and clippings will remain on turf to restore nutrients for a healthy lawn.
Edging and Trimming
Plant beds, curbs, roadways, driveways, trees, and buildings will be neatly edged and trimmed to maintain a desirable shape.
After edging and trimming, walkways and patios will be cleared to maintain a clean, well-groomed appearance.
Edging and trimming will coincide with mowing and areas inaccessible to mowers will be maintained with other equipment.
All debris created by our company will be promptly removed.
Fertilization and Control of Weeds, Insects, and Disease
Various percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium will be determined based on different seasons and environmental conditions. St. Augustine turf will be fertilized four times per year.
Soil tests will be performed once per year to evaluate pH and nutrient content.
It is the sole responsibility of our company to treat for insects, disease, or weeds.
All state and federal regulations will be strictly followed when applying pesticide or herbicide products. These treatments will be performed by trained technicians only.
