Individual maintenance

Yard work, one visit at a time.

No contracts and no season-long commitment. Book a single visit, a seasonal cleanup or a regular schedule — and change it whenever you like.

What we’ll do

Pick what the yard needs.

Every task on its own, or any combination. The price is set before the first visit and it doesn’t change without a conversation.

Mowing, edging & blowingCut at the right height for your grass, hard edges on walks and beds, clippings off every hard surface.
Hedges & shrubsShaped at the right time of year for each plant — never shearing azaleas in August.
Beds & weedingWeeds pulled by the root, bed edges re-cut, spent flowers taken off.
Pine straw & mulchFresh straw or mulch two to three inches deep, kept off trunks and siding.
Leaf cleanupLeaves blown, mulched or hauled — lawn, beds, and the corners where they pile up.
Aeration & overseedingFall core aeration and seed for tall fescue lawns, timed to the September window.

Seasonal cleanups

Three visits most Upstate yards need.

Spring cleanup
February – April

Spring cleanup

  • Grasses and liriope cut back
  • Beds weeded and edges re-cut
  • Shrubs shaped (not the spring bloomers)
  • Fresh pine straw or mulch
  • Lawn cleared of winter debris
Fall cleanup
October – December

Fall cleanup

  • Leaves off the lawn and out of the beds
  • Spent perennials cut back
  • Final mow and edge
  • Gutter-line brush cleared
  • Beds tucked in for winter
Pine straw day
Any time

Pine straw day

  • Old straw fluffed or removed
  • Beds weeded first
  • Fresh straw, 2–3 inches
  • Kept off trunks and siding

Mowing heights

How high to cut an Upstate lawn.

Most lawn problems start with mowing too low. The rule for all of them: never take off more than a third of the blade at once.

GrassMowing heightGood to know
Tall fescue3–4 inKeep it at the high end in summer heat. Overseed in September.
Bermuda1–2 inNeeds full sun. Browns out and goes dormant in winter.
Zoysia1–2 inDense and slow to spread. Handles a little more shade than Bermuda.
Centipede1–1.5 inA low-feed lawn: too much fertilizer does it harm.

Maintenance questions

No contracts. Really.

All questions

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Book a single visit, a seasonal cleanup, or a regular schedule. Change it or stop it whenever you want.

How is maintenance priced?

By the visit, based on the size of the property and what’s on the list. You get the price before the first visit.

Do you haul away the debris?

Yes. Clippings, leaves and brush leave with us unless you’d rather keep them for compost.

Pine straw or mulch?

Pine straw is lighter, cheaper to refresh, and suits azaleas and slopes. Hardwood mulch looks more finished and lasts longer in beds. We’re happy to do either.
