How an account starts
From the walk to the first visit
Four steps, each with something in writing at the end.
- 01
Step 1: The walk
We walk the whole property with your manager or an on-site contact: every lawn, bed, slope, irrigation controller and tree. We photograph and map as we go.
Gates, access and quiet hours noted
Irrigation zones run one at a time
- 02
Step 2: The report
The findings come to you in writing, by area, with photos. The report is yours to keep, whether or not you hire us.
- 03
Step 3: The proposal
Within 5 business days of the walk: a scope by area, a visit schedule, a monthly price and the terms, in one document. Questions go to the person who walked your site.
- 04
Step 4: The first month
Your crew lead meets your site contact on day one. A service report follows each month, by area, with photos of what was done.

Services
What we maintain on a commercial site
Each service has its own scope and its own line in the monthly report.
Who is on your site
One crew lead, named in the proposal
Each property has a crew lead who knows it: where the gate codes are, which zone floods the walkway, which tenant needs the lot quiet before nine.
You get that person’s name and number, and the account desk behind them.

A monthly service report, by area
One account desk for changes and questions
Property managers
In their words
“The proposal came on the day they said, and the scope matched what I had walked. The first invoice held no surprises.”
Clarissa L.Community manager, apartment complex
“Our crew lead texts when a gate code changes or a head breaks. I stopped chasing the vendor.”

Before you call
Questions property managers ask first
What does grounds maintenance cost?
It follows the acreage, how much is turf and how much is beds, slopes, trees and irrigation, and how often you want visits. We price it after the audit, by area, so you can change the scope and watch the number move.
How soon can you start?
We schedule the walk when you send the form or call. The proposal follows within 5 business days of the walk, and the start date is written in it.
Are you licensed and insured?
The license line in the footer names our California contractor classification and the board’s lookup page. A certificate of insurance goes to you on request, with your property as certificate holder.
How do we pay?
One invoice a month, by area, with the service report attached. Payment terms and accepted methods are in the proposal.
Do you take single-family yards?
No. We maintain commercial and multifamily properties only.
