Tempe Yard Maintenance

Residential Landscape Maintenance in Tempe, AZ

Regular yard care for Tempe homes, so the landscape stays healthy and finished all year.

Yard Maintenance for Tempe Homes

A desert landscape is lower maintenance, not no maintenance. Weeds come up after every rain, shrubs get leggy, drip emitters clog, and a yard that looked great the day it was installed slowly drifts if nobody is watching it.

Regular visits keep that from happening. Most homes are on a weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule, depending on the size of the yard, how much grass there is and how often you want it to look freshly done.

Every visit includes a quick look at the irrigation, because a broken line or a valve stuck open in July can kill plants and run up a water bill before you notice.

Residential Landscape Maintenance Questions

How much does yard maintenance cost in Tempe?

It depends on yard size, how much grass and how many plants there are, and how often we come. We quote a flat price per visit or per month after walking the yard.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Most homeowners start on a regular schedule and adjust it as the seasons change.

Can you take over a yard that has been neglected?

Yes. We usually start with a one-time cleanup to get it back in shape, then move to a regular schedule.

Do you maintain rental homes?

Yes. We work with owners and property managers on single-family rentals and can send notes or photos after visits.
