Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on area, pricing, scheduling and the work itself.
Working with us
What area do you serve?
Everywhere within about 25 miles of Rhome, TX. That covers Rhome, Newark, Boyd, Decatur, Haslet, Justin, Northlake, Argyle, Roanoke, Trophy Club, Keller, Saginaw, Azle, Springtown and north Fort Worth. Not sure? Send your ZIP code.
How fast can I get a quote?
Written quotes go out within one business day. Mowing is often quoted the same day from aerial measurements. Installs, drainage and hardscape need a quick site visit first.
Do I have to sign a contract for mowing?
No. Mowing is month to month and you can stop anytime.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and can send a certificate to you or your HOA.
Do you handle HOA approvals?
We give you a drawing and plant/material list formatted for your HOA's architectural review. You submit it, or we can help.
Do you do commercial properties?
Yes, for small commercial sites, HOA common areas and vacant lots in our service area.
Do you do sprinkler repair or tree removal?
No. We stick to landscaping, lawn care, hardscape and drainage. Sprinkler work in Texas requires a licensed irrigator, and big tree work belongs with a certified arborist. We're happy to tell you who we'd call.
How do I pay?
Your quote lists payment options. Recurring service is billed monthly. Larger installs take a deposit to order materials, with the balance due when the job is done and you've walked it with us.
Do you work in winter?
Yes. Winter is good for tree and shrub pruning (except oaks in late winter), hardscape, drainage, bed prep and dormant cleanups.
About the work
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Mowing is month to month. If we are not worth keeping, you shouldn't have to keep us.
How much does a landscape install cost?
Most front-yard bed redos we do land between a few thousand and the low five figures, depending on size, plant sizes and whether there is stone involved. You get an itemized price before anything is ordered.
How much is sod installed?
It is priced by the square foot and depends heavily on how much prep the ground needs. A bare builder lot with good grade is cheapest; tearing out a dead lawn and regrading costs more. We give you a measured, itemized number.
Do I need a French drain or just regrading?
Often regrading alone fixes it, and it is cheaper. French drains are for spots where you can't get enough slope, or water is coming from somewhere uphill.
Pavers or flagstone?
Pavers are more even underfoot and easier to repair. Flagstone looks more natural and suits a ranch-style or older home. Price is close; ask us to price both.
When should crape myrtles be trimmed?
Late winter, before new growth, and only to remove crossing, dead or sucker growth. They don't need to be cut back hard to bloom.
How often should mulch be replaced?
Once a year for most beds, usually in spring. Hardwood breaks down faster than cedar.
Do you haul off the leaves?
Yes. Everything goes with us, nothing left at the curb.
How much water does it save?
It depends on how much turf you convert, but watering lawn is where most outdoor water goes.
What size property do you mow?
From a half-acre lot up to larger pasture. Bigger tracts we price individually.
How many treatments a year?
Most lawns here do well with five to seven visits a year. We'll recommend a program after we see the lawn.
How often should I aerate?
Once a year for compacted clay or high-traffic lawns. Every other year is enough for most established lawns.
How much does landscape lighting cost?
It is priced per fixture plus the transformer. Many homes start with 8 to 15 fixtures on the front and add the backyard later. You get a fixture-by-fixture quote.
How long does artificial turf last?
Quality turf on a good base typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more, depending on sun and traffic.
