Lawn Care Questions
During the growing season (spring through fall), we typically recommend weekly mowing for most lawns. However, this can vary based on grass type, weather conditions, and your personal preference. We'll work with you to determine the best schedule for your lawn's health and appearance.
Yes, we bring all necessary equipment for every job. Our fleet includes professional-grade mowers, trimmers, blowers, and specialized equipment for tree work and hardscaping. You don't need to provide anything.
Our standard lawn care service includes:
- Mowing at the appropriate height for your grass type
- Edging along sidewalks, driveways, and beds
- String trimming around obstacles
- Blowing clippings off hard surfaces
Additional services like fertilization, weed control, and aeration are available separately or as part of a maintenance package.
Yes! We offer seasonal lawn care contracts that provide consistent service throughout the growing season at a predictable monthly rate. Contract customers also receive priority scheduling and are first on our list for additional services. Contact us to learn more about our contract options.
Tree Service Questions
Signs that a tree may need removal include:
- Dead or dying branches making up more than 50% of the crown
- Significant lean or structural issues
- Decay or rot in the trunk
- Root damage or heaving
- Storm damage affecting structural integrity
We're happy to assess your trees and provide an honest recommendation. Sometimes trimming is all that's needed!
Yes, we offer emergency tree services for storm damage, fallen trees, and other urgent situations. Call us at 816-279-LAWN (5296) for emergency assistance. We understand that fallen trees and storm damage can't wait, and we do our best to respond quickly.
Yes, complete cleanup is included with all our tree services. We haul away all branches, logs, and debris, leaving your property clean and tidy. If you'd like to keep the wood for firewood, just let us know and we can cut it to length and stack it for you.
For most trees, late winter to early spring (while dormant) is the ideal time for trimming. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed anytime. Some species have specific timing requirements. We can advise you on the best timing for your particular trees during our estimate visit.
Snow Removal Questions
We offer both per-event and seasonal contract snow removal services. For residential customers, we typically clear driveways and sidewalks after snowfall reaches 2" or more. Commercial customers can customize trigger depths and timing. We monitor weather forecasts and dispatch crews as needed - you don't need to call us each time.
Yes, we offer salt and ice melt application as an add-on to our snow removal services. This is especially important for commercial properties and high-traffic residential areas. We can include it automatically with each service or apply it upon request.
Our crews begin working early - typically around 4-5 AM for commercial properties that need to be clear before business hours. Residential services usually begin at dawn. For major storms, we work continuously until all customers are serviced, often making multiple passes.
Billing & Payment Questions
We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. For recurring services, we can set up automatic billing for your convenience. Invoices are sent after service completion and payment is due within 30 days.
For most lawn care and tree services, no deposit is required. For larger hardscaping projects, we typically request a deposit to cover material costs, with the balance due upon completion. Any deposit requirements will be clearly outlined in your estimate.
Yes! We offer discounts for:
- Seasonal contracts (lawn care and snow removal)
- Bundling multiple services
