How hiring works

  1. 1

    Request a quote

    Share the property size, frequency, and any access details.

  2. 2

    Confirm scope and schedule

    Agree on what's included, how often, and whether it's one-time or recurring.

  3. 3

    Service visit

    The crew completes the work, usually without you needing to be present.

  4. 4

    Review and adjust

    Recurring plans are easy to tune as the property's needs change.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • No contract for a recurring season (price creep mid-summer)
  • Over-mulching against the trunk ('mulch volcanoes')
  • Skipping proof of insurance for tree/heavy work

Licensing & how it compares

Do I need a licensed pro for landscaping?

Landscaping is often unlicensed, so insurance, references, and a clear written scope matter even more than a license number.

Landscaping vs. Cleaning

Landscaping and Cleaning are both property services trades but solve different problems — book the one that matches your job, or a general contractor if the project spans both.
