Landscape Maintenance in Marana, Oro Valley, and Tucson

Turnkey Landscape Maintenance

We provide traditional landscape maintenance service on a regular schedule, to keep your yard looking great. And if you'd like to update your landscape, we can add plants or have a designer meet with you to discuss landscape enhancement. Additional services include landscape design with a professional designer, plant replacements and landscape enhancements including patios, walls, fences, gates, kitchens, fire features, driveways and paths, boulders, screened rock, irrigation repair and replacement of irrigation systems, lighting repair and replacement of fixtures or troubleshooting entire systems.

‍
First Meeting - Maintenance Proposal

When contacted, we will meet with you and inspect the property and ask about your preferences. In most cases we will prepare a written maintenance proposal within 24-hours. Once a maintenance proposal is accepted, a service day and time is selected in cooperation with the homeowner.

Pruning and Plant Health

Pruning enhances plant health by removing dead, diseased, or damaged tissue, which improves air circulation, sunlight penetration, and reduces pest/disease risks. It encourages stronger structure, stimulates new, vigorous growth, and directs resources to productive areas. Proper pruning typically removes no more than 1/3 of the plant, focusing on weak parts of the plant. Our crews typically “hand prune” but will use a mechanical trimmer for those that prefer that style.

Irrigation Systems - Smart Controllers

Irrigation system monitoring involves using sensors, flow meters, and smart controllers to track watering times, water use, and seasonal settings in real-time. These systems automate irrigation, detect leaks, and provide remote alerts via mobile apps, helping to conserve water, save energy, and protect landscapes from damage. Whether you have a smart or standard controller, your crew will check the irrigation controller for functionality, proper programming, and also check the valves and the valve diaphragm. Drip emitters are regularly inspected while the irrigation system is turned on – at each plant – to make sure all plants are receiving water and that there are no visible leaks. Small leaks can all be fixed while the crew is on site.

Turf Care - Natural Grass

Turf care in Arizona requires specific, seasonally adjusted strategies for maintaining Bermuda grass. Key tasks include proper watering settings during summer, routine aeration, and managing overseeding with winter Rye grass. Mowing, edging, dethatching, aerating, and overseeding can be completed by your crew.

‍

Turf Care - Artificial Grass

Artificial grass requires limited maintenance including regular debris removal (blow off leaf and other debris), rinsing, and brushing. We can provide power brushing, infill and odor control for pet areas at your request.
‍

Fertilizer

All shrubs are fertilized as part of our regular maintenance services.

‍

Night Lighting

We provide maintenance and repair service for existing residential light systems, LED, and halogen bulb replacements to ensure safety, efficiency and aesthetic appeal. Lighting transformers are programmed according to your preferences. We can add light fixtures to an existing LED system or design and install a new outdoor lighting system.

‍

Pre-Emergent

Your crew will apply a granular pre-emergent in June and December which is designed to kill weeds as they germinate. This pre-emergent process should reduce weed growth by about 80%, and last 4 to 6 months, allowing your landscape maintenance crew to spend more time maintaining plant health, irrigation systems, and routine yard cleanup.

‍

Seasonal and Additional Service

Additional service time can be scheduled by request, or the regular visit time can be increased at your discretion. Additional time is most often needed during the peak growing season or to clean up storm damage. We can also schedule service for special events, and can often be there the day before.

‍

Frequency of Service

We offer weekly service (52-visits per year), bi-weekly service (26-visits per year) and service every 4-week period (13-visits per year) for residential properties.

‍

Visit Length

We build a plan around your property size, personal requests, priorities and HOA requirements. A typical maintenance visit is 1-hour with a 3-man crew every two-week period. This time can be shorter or longer based on property size and Owner requirements.

‍

Quality Control

The maintenance manager prepares a Specification Sheet listing the Homeowner's priorities and all of the services provided. When the crew arrives, they are available to work at your direction or follow the Specification Sheet to ensure your priorities are met. While there, the crew leader will inspect the property and look for issues that need to be addressed promptly, like irrigation leaks and stressed plants.

‍

Communication

Communication is essential and leads to better results. Please let us know what we are doing well or where we can improve. You can email questions or requests to the office, call the maintenance manager, or give instructions directly to the crew leader.

‍

Written Proposal

We provide a written proposal that includes the cost for regular maintenance and pre-emergent application. It will specify the initial service date and time, the frequency and length of service, the name of the manager, crew leader, and contact information. The proposal includes a list of the services we provide and includes your priorities in the Customer Specification Sheet. If you are home when we arrive and have a special request or list of work, you may give it to the crew leader. If we do not finish all items on that visit, we will continue working on the list the following visit until completed.
‍

Irrigation Leaks

Small irrigation leaks will be repaired by your crew during the regular visit time. More extensive repairs can be scheduled by the maintenance manager who will send an irrigation technician with the proper equipment and parts. When we send an irrigation technician, we will contact you in advance with the scheduled arrival time.
