Lawn Care & Maintenance
How often should my lawn be mowed?

During peak growing seasons, most lawns should be mowed weekly. Growth rates can vary based on weather, irrigation, grass type, and fertilization schedules.

Why is regular lawn mowing important?

Proper mowing helps maintain a healthier lawn, encourages stronger growth, improves appearance, reduces weed pressure, and helps prevent many common lawn problems.

Do you provide lawn fertilization?

Yes. We offer customized fertilization programs designed to improve lawn color, strengthen root systems, encourage healthy growth, and help lawns withstand West Texas conditions.

What if my lawn has brown spots?

Brown spots can be caused by drought stress, irrigation issues, insects, disease, nutrient deficiencies, pet damage, or soil conditions. Our lawn diagnosis services help identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

Can you help with weeds?

Absolutely. We provide professional weed control programs that target common lawn and landscape weeds while promoting healthier turf and plant growth.

Why is my lawn thinning?

Thin lawns can result from poor irrigation, compacted soil, disease, insects, nutrient deficiencies, excessive shade, or improper mowing practices. We can evaluate your lawn and recommend solutions.

Landscape Design & Installation
Do I need a landscape design before installing landscaping?

Not always, but a professional design helps ensure the finished landscape is attractive, functional, and suited to your property's layout and maintenance goals.

Can you redesign an existing landscape?

Yes. Landscape renovations are one of our specialties. We can update outdated landscaping, replace overgrown plants, redesign flower beds, improve irrigation, and modernize your outdoor spaces.

How long does a landscape installation project take?

Project timelines vary depending on the scope of work. Smaller projects may take a day or two, while larger installations or renovations may require several days or weeks.

Flower Beds & Decorative Landscaping
How often should flower beds be maintained?

Most flower beds benefit from regular maintenance throughout the year, including weeding, pruning, seasonal cleanup, mulch replenishment, and plant health monitoring.

What is better: mulch or decorative rock?

Both offer benefits. Mulch helps improve soil health and retain moisture, while decorative rock provides long-term durability and lower maintenance requirements. We can help determine which option best fits your property.

How often should mulch be replaced?

Most mulch should be refreshed annually to maintain appearance and effectiveness.

Can you install seasonal flowers?

Yes. We can design and install seasonal flower displays that provide color and visual interest throughout the year.

Yes. We design and install irrigation systems tailored to your property's size, layout, and watering requirements.

Can you repair existing sprinkler systems?

Absolutely. We repair broken sprinkler heads, leaking valves, damaged pipes, controller issues, coverage problems, and other irrigation system concerns.

Why are there brown spots in my lawn when I have sprinklers?

Brown spots often indicate irrigation coverage issues, clogged sprinkler heads, leaks, pressure problems, or scheduling concerns. We can diagnose and correct these problems.

How often should my sprinkler system be inspected?

Most irrigation systems should be inspected at least once a year to identify potential issues and maximize efficiency.

Can a sprinkler system reduce water waste?

Yes. Properly designed and maintained irrigation systems deliver water more efficiently, reducing waste while improving landscape health.

Tree Services
When should trees be trimmed?

Most trees benefit from routine trimming and pruning every few years, although timing varies based on species, age, health, and growth patterns.

Why should dead branches be removed?

Dead branches can become safety hazards and increase the risk of property damage during storms or high winds.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Signs may include extensive dead branches, disease, severe leaning, storm damage, root failure, or structural instability. We can evaluate the tree and provide recommendations.

Can storm-damaged trees be saved?

Sometimes. The answer depends on the severity of the damage, the species, and the tree's overall health.

Do you remove trees near homes and structures?

Yes. We carefully evaluate each situation and use safe removal methods designed to protect nearby structures and landscaping.

Hardscaping & Landscape Enhancements
What is hardscaping?

Hardscaping refers to the non-living features of a landscape, including walkways, retaining walls, decorative stonework, borders, pathways, and other structural elements.

Do stone walkways add value to a property?

Yes. Professionally installed hardscape features can improve curb appeal, functionality, and overall property value.

Can hardscaping help with drainage problems?

In many cases, yes. Certain hardscape features can help direct water flow, reduce erosion, and improve landscape functionality.

Material options vary based on design goals and budget, but commonly include natural stone, decorative pavers, gravel, and other durable landscape materials.
