The landscape you bought, kept the way you bought it.
Most landscapes look great the day they're installed and then slowly drift. Beds lose their edge. Mulch fades and washes out. Plants get overgrown. One or two die without replacement. After two or three years, the yard that wowed you on install day is just another suburban landscape — not bad, but not the thing you paid for either.
Landscape maintenance is what prevents that drift. Quarterly or monthly visits to prune, refresh, edge, check plant health, and adjust drip irrigation — the small, ongoing work that keeps a landscape looking the way it did on day one. We've been maintaining DFW landscapes since 2010 and have a few hundred clients on long-running maintenance plans across the metroplex.
What a maintenance visit covers.
- Pruning & shaping. Specific to each plant species. We don't shear everything into a sphere — different plants want different treatment.
- Mulch refresh. Twice a year, dark hardwood mulch at proper depth.
- Bed re-edging. Crisp lines along bed borders so the landscape reads as intentional from the street.
- Plant health check. We watch for early signs of pest pressure, fungal issues, or watering problems and flag them before they spread.
- Drip irrigation check. Run the system briefly, check for clogs or leaks, and adjust as plants grow.
- Weed pulling. Hand-pulling any weeds that have made it through pre-emergent in beds.
- Seasonal cleanup. Removing spent flowers, fall leaves, freeze-damaged growth.
Cadence: monthly vs. quarterly.
Quarterly is right for most DFW homes — once per season, four visits a year. It works for landscapes that aren't too complex and homeowners who do some basic upkeep between visits (deadheading flowers, light pruning).
Monthly is right for larger landscapes, more intricate planting, or homeowners who don't want to do anything between visits. Twelve visits a year keeps everything continuously dialed in.
We recommend a cadence based on what your yard actually needs — not a one-size plan.
The pruning question.
Pruning is the part of landscape maintenance most often done badly. The common approach is to shear every shrub into a green basketball shape, which weakens plants over time and looks generic from the street. We prune by species. Texas Sage gets a different treatment than Knock Out Roses. Crepe Myrtle gets a different schedule than Vitex. Our crews know plant-specific pruning, and the result is landscapes that look natural and intentional rather than uniformly trimmed.
Pair it with lawn care.
About 80% of our landscape maintenance clients also have us on weekly lawn care & maintenance. The two services pair well — the lawn crew handles the grass each week, the landscape crew handles the beds each month or quarter. You get one company managing the whole yard, with a single point of contact for any issues.
