FAQ

Residential landscape maintenance questions in Wilmington, DE

What is included in residential landscape maintenance?

Landscape maintenance covers the planted parts of your property: weeding beds, pruning shrubs, mulch, spring and fall cleanups, and seasonal adjustments. Mowing is a separate lawn care service, and we can bundle the two into one plan so a single crew handles the whole yard.

What is the difference between lawn care and landscape maintenance?

Lawn care is turf work: mowing, edging, trimming and lawn treatments. Landscape maintenance is everything outside the turf, including beds, shrubs, mulch and cleanups. Many homeowners book both, and we schedule them together when you want one plan for the whole property.

How often should shrubs and beds be maintained?

Beds need weeding through the growing season, usually every few weeks from spring to fall. Most shrubs are pruned once or twice a year depending on type and flowering time. We recommend a schedule after we see the property, then adjust it as plants fill in.

Do you offer one-time service or only contracts?

Both. We offer recurring maintenance plans for year-round care, and seasonal or on-demand visits for targeted needs such as a spring cleanup or fall leaf removal. Choose a plan for steady upkeep or book single visits when you need them.

Where does mulching fit in?

Fresh mulch is part of bed maintenance, and we install it as a stand-alone service as well. Our mulching page explains materials, depth and timing in detail. If you want mulch refreshed every spring, we can add it to your maintenance plan.

We work in Wilmington, Newark, Hockessin, Middletown and Greenville, plus nearby New Castle County neighborhoods.
