Weekly maintenance done with sharp blades.
A great lawn is the sum of small Tuesdays. Same crew, same day, sharpened blades every two weeks, edged borders, blown clean. Mar–Nov weekly, with quarterly winter checks for storm cleanup and weed scouting.
- Quarter-acre to two-acre lots, residential only
- Mowing height adjusted by season (3.5"–4.25")
- Bagging or mulching by your preference
- Hardscape edged with a stick edger, not a string
- Text reminder the morning of every visit
A six-step program written from your soil test.
We don't sell a package — we sell a plan. Step one is a soil sample sent to the NCSU lab. Step two is a written treatment schedule based on what your turf is actually short on. Then four more visits across the year, timed to the calendar, not the salesperson's quota.
- Soil pull + lab analysis on first visit
- Pre-emergent in the crabgrass window (Feb–Mar)
- Selective broadleaf, spot-sprayed, not blanketed
- Summer iron + slow-release N for color, not flush growth
- Grub watch with milky-spore option, not blanket insecticide
- Winterizer to bank potassium for spring
The single best fall investment in your lawn.
Wake County's clay soils compact. Compacted soil + September heat = thin, weedy fescue by spring. Core aeration relieves the compaction, our triple-blend seed fills the gaps, and starter fertilizer wakes up the new roots. Do it in the right two weeks of October and the lawn is unrecognizable by April.
- GPS-measured square footage, exact seed rate
- Hydraulic core aerator, 3"–4" plugs
- NCSU-recommended tall-fescue triple blend
- Starter fertilizer included
- Two-week watering schedule sent the day of
Beds and borders that fit Piedmont clay.
Maya draws every plan by hand — the same way her grandfather did. We design with natives and adapted plants that survive Wake County summers, install in spring or fall, and warranty the plants for three full growing seasons. No Pinterest-board imports, no tropical placeholders.
- Hand-drawn site plan, free with install
- Native + adapted plant palette
- Soil amendment with compost, not topsoil dump
- 3-year plant warranty (if you watered)
- Hardscape: paver paths, stone borders, dry creek
Install, repair, winterize — diagnosed with a flow gauge.
Most irrigation problems are diagnosed badly. We use a flow gauge and pressure tester before we say a word about cost. New installs use smart Wi-Fi controllers that read weather data and adjust automatically — most clients see their water bill drop the first month.
- Smart Wi-Fi controllers (Rachio, Hunter Hydrawise)
- Rotor + drip combos for mixed beds and lawn
- Backflow testing & repair
- Spring start-up + fall blow-out
- Repair quotes itemized, never bundled
Spring open and fall close in a single visit.
The two visits that bookend the season: spring is bed cleanup, fresh mulch, first cut, first treatment. Fall is the leaf haul-off, gutter clear, last mow at winter height, and final fertilizer. Members get both visits scheduled in advance. Non-members can book à-la-carte.
- Triple-shred hardwood mulch by the cubic yard
- Long-needle pine straw, square-bale pricing
- Curbside leaf bagging or vacuum haul-off
- Gutter clear + downspout check
- Spring + fall = ~$280 for a typical quarter-acre
