Each visit serves a purpose. With 42 scheduled visits per year, we’re able to care for your landscape based on plant needs, seasonal timing, and real conditions on your property — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
This frequency allows us to make small, intentional adjustments throughout the year that add up to healthier plants and a cleaner, more refined landscape.
What Horticultural Maintenance Really Means
Horticultural maintenance is the ongoing care of landscape plants based on plant science, seasonal timing, and site conditions.
It includes:
- Proper pruning and trimming
- Monitoring plant health and growth
- Fertilization based on plant needs
- Weed prevention and control
- Mulch management
- Soil health and moisture management
Unlike basic maintenance, horticultural care is proactive, not reactive. The goal is to prevent problems before they start and guide plants as they mature.
Plant-Focused Pruning and Trimming
Pruning is never random or rushed. Each plant is pruned based on its species, growth habit, and flowering cycle.
Our approach includes:
- Structural pruning to guide long-term shape and strength
- Selective thinning to improve air flow and light penetration
- Timing cuts to protect blooms on flowering shrubs
- Avoiding over-pruning that leads to stress or excessive regrowth
This results in plants that look natural, stay full, and perform better year after year.
Seasonal Fertilization and Soil Care
Fertilization is applied with intention — not just because it’s “that time of year.”
Within the 42-visit program, fertilization is:
- Timed to active growth periods
- Adjusted for plant type and maturity
- Balanced to support roots, foliage, and flowering
- Avoided during periods when plants cannot effectively absorb nutrients
We also monitor soil condition and moisture levels to ensure nutrients are being used efficiently, not wasted.
Weed Prevention and Bed Management
Weed control starts long before weeds appear.
Our program includes:
- Timely pre-emergent applications to prevent germination
- Ongoing hand weeding for detail areas
- Spot treatments as needed to reduce competition
- Maintaining clean, defined beds throughout the year
This proactive approach keeps beds cleaner and reduces the need for aggressive corrective treatments later.
Mulch Maintenance
Mulch plays a critical role in plant health, not just appearance.
Throughout the year, we:
- Monitor mulch depth to maintain proper coverage
- Redistribute mulch after heavy rain
- Prevent mulch from contacting plant stems
- Refresh areas where mulch has broken down
Proper mulch management helps regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, and protect root systems.
Ongoing Plant Health Monitoring
Because we’re on your property consistently, plant health is evaluated at every visit.
We look for:
- Early signs of stress or decline
- Insect activity or disease pressure
- Drainage or moisture-related issues
- Growth patterns that may require adjustment
Catching issues early allows for quicker, less invasive corrections and prevents costly plant loss.
Why This Level of Detail Matters
Horticultural maintenance isn’t about doing everything at once — it’s about doing the right things at the right time.
The 42-Visit Lawn & Landscape Maintenance Program allows us to guide your landscape through every season with consistency, care, and expertise — so it continues to look intentional, healthy, and well-managed year-round.
