Lawn care doesn’t require much prep, but a couple of quick steps beforehand help the visit go smoothly, especially the first time.

Before We Arrive

01Clear The YardMove toys, hoses, furniture, and anything else off the grass
02Secure PetsKeep pets inside or in a separate area while equipment is in use
03Note Any IrrigationLet us know about sprinkler heads or irrigation lines that aren’t obvious at ground level
04Flag Problem AreasBare patches, drainage issues, or anything you want specific attention on

Do You Need To Be Home?

Not for routine mowing and yard work — as long as we have access to the yard, most visits can be completed without you present. If access requires a gate code or something similar, just let us know ahead of time so it’s not a holdup on the day.

Setting Up Recurring Service

If you’re starting a recurring schedule rather than a one-time visit, the first appointment is a good time to walk through any standing instructions — which areas to avoid, how short to cut, or anything specific to your yard. After that, it’s usually hands-off going forward.
