Homeowner Maintenance & Responsibilities
Homeowner Responsibilities
When our work is done your landscape will look fantastic, and with proper maintenance and care it can stay that way for years to come. There are a few things you will be responsible for to keep your landscape looking great, and we’ve provided an easy checklist for you below.
Maintaining Your Yard
Trimming your bushes and trees, weed and pest control, feeding your plants, seasonal adjustments to your lighting timer.
Managing Your Irrigation and Drip Lines
We set your irrigation and drip lines when we leave based on the season. You’ll be responsible for making seasonal adjustments and ensuring your irrigation systems are operating properly according to conditions.
Pool Maintenance
Sweeping and cleaning, maintaining chemical and pH balance and good filtration.
With proper maintenance and care as described here, your landscape will stay looking beautiful for years. You want that and we want that, so it’s important these are all handled regularly.
It can be a lot of work, so if you’d like to hire a service to help with any of these we’ll be happy to provide a recommendation. Most homeowners hire a weekly pool service, if you choose to go that route we’d recommend Super Blue Pools at (623) 239-3962.

"When they left at the end of each day, they would put everything away, hose it down, clean up. The ‘other guys’ across the street were leaving a mess, but never over here, it was always clean."
