This service is only available to our lawn mowing clients.
Prices Our labor rate is $44 per man-hour, plus a $20 trip charge. If you don't require a free estimate before we do the work, we will discount our labor rate to $36 per man-hour. Additionally, clients who enroll in our automatic shrub trimming & clean-up service are not subject to the $20 trip charge.
With automatic shrub trimming & clean-up service, we automatically send our shrub crew out four times per year to trim the shrubs. One of the visits is a winter visit to clean the leaves, prune the crepe myrtles before they break dormancy, prune the palms, etc. With this service, we stay on top of all the plants in your landscape.
Mulch We are glad to bring new cedar mulch for your landscape beds. The charge for the cedar mulch is a $60 delivery fee and $4.50 per bag, plus the labor to install it. Each bag contains 3 cubic feet of cedar mulch and should cover approximately 9 to 12 square feet.
Shrub Trimming Our shrub crew is equipped with the right tools for the job. Our shrub crew carries chain saws, chippers, pole saws, articulating hedge trimmers and lots of other specialized equipment.
Waste Disposal When we trim your shrubs and trees, we will run all the branches and limbs through our chipper. The chipped material is bagged into 30 gallon trash bags and left by the curb for trash pick up. Larger logs will be cut to firewood length and either stacked on your firewood pile (at your request) or placed by the curb for trash pick up.
In Flower Mound, large trash pick up only occurs twice a month. If you would like us to remove the debris, as opposed to leaving it by the curb, there is a disposal fee of $4 per 30 gallon trash bag.
It Isn't Rocket Science, But It Is Science As a homeowner, you should give careful consideration to which company you hire to trim your shrubs and prune your trees. Improper pruning cuts can leave wounds that may never heal. If the wound doesn’t heal, eventually boring insects will enter the plant and kill it. We’ve trained our shrub crew in the proper pruning techniques to avoid creating non-healing wounds.
How Long Will The Beds Stay Clean? Our mulch and bed clean up service consists of cutting and spraying all weeds and installing new mulch to a 3” depth. Please realize that cleaning the beds once is only a temporary fix. Weeds are always germinating and it is impossible to remove all the roots in our clay soils, so the beds may be weedy just a few weeks after they are cleaned.
If you would like us to control the weeds in the beds, please inquire about our bed weed control service.
Complaints When we trim the shrubs, if you feel that we haven't removed enough foliage, we will be glad to return to do more work at our normal hourly rates.
If you feel that we've removed too much foliage, we are sorry, but once we cut it off, we can't put it back. If you're not happy with the way the shrubs look because we've taken off more foliage than what you expected, you'll still be required to pay for the service.
If you're extremely picky about the way your shrubs are trimmed, or you expect that you should not have to pay full price if we trim too much off, please don't hire us to trim your shrubs. What looks good to one person may not look good to another. Simply saying you don't like it is no basis for a discount or refund. |
