Enjoy the Confidence of Knowing the Details Are Being Handled

Great maintenance is not simply about completing scheduled tasks. SLS gives you experienced people who understand your grounds, communicate what they see, and help you make informed decisions that support the appearance and health of your outdoor space.

  • Have Someone Who Knows Your Property Keeping an Eye on It

    Your account manager becomes familiar with your landscape and how it develops throughout the year. Regular oversight helps identify changing needs and gives you a knowledgeable point of contact when questions or recommendations arise.

  • Give Your Plants and Lawn the Knowledgeable Attention They Need

    Trained team members understand the timing and techniques behind lawn treatments, pruning, garden maintenance, and plant care. Instead of approaching every part of your grounds the same way, your team considers what individual areas need to stay healthy and attractive.

  • Plan for Your Property with Fewer Financial Surprises

    Your maintenance agreement clearly defines planned services, while predictable monthly billing makes ongoing upkeep easier to budget. When additional work is recommended, you can discuss the need and make an informed decision before moving forward.

Know How Your Property Care Moves Forward Before Work Begins

Creating or maintaining your landscape should never feel confusing. Drawing on over five decades of experience, our step-by-step process gives you clear expectations and steady communication along the way.

Design and Installation
  • Your Call

    When you reach out, usually within the same day you’ll talk with someone in our office who’s ready to listen. We’ll ask a few quick questions to understand your project, your location, and your goals. If it sounds like a good fit, we’ll connect you with one of our landscape consultants.

  • Discovery Call

    You’ll have a short phone call, typically within 24 business hours (about 15 minutes) with your consultant to talk about what you’re looking for, when you’d like it done, and your investment range. This step gives you clarity on what’s possible and helps us recommend the best next step.

  • On-Site Consultation

    Your consultant meets you at your property for 30–60 minutes to walk the space, listen to your vision, and talk through ideas. You’ll share inspiration photos, and we’ll give you an honest budget range so you know right away if the project fits your goals.

  • Design Phase (if needed)

    For larger or more complex projects, design is the key to success. We’ll create a conceptual plan, usually within two to three weeks, and review it with you. You’ll have the chance to provide feedback, and then we’ll work to create a full design plan, and tackle up to two rounds of revisions. If you’d like, we can create 3D renderings so you can see exactly how your new space will look.

  • Proposal & Agreement

    For Design Build projects, we build an itemized proposal that breaks down each element of your project and present it to you typically within 2 weeks of your design being finalized. You'll see the total investment as well as the cost of each piece, making it simple to prioritize and phase if needed. When you're comfortable, you'll sign the agreement and place your deposit. Your payment installments will be clearly stated in your agreement.

  • Scheduling & Preparation

    After we receive your deposit, we reserve your spot on our schedule. For smaller projects, that may mean a few weeks, while larger projects may be scheduled out further depending on season and scope. During this time, we’re busy ordering materials, coordinating with trusted subcontractors, and preparing our crews so your project runs smoothly.

  • Construction & Weekly Updates

    When construction begins, you’ll have a consistent point of contact who will stay in touch with you, providing weekly updates and on-site check-ins. You’ll always know where your project stands, what’s happening next, and when to expect completion.

  • Final Walkthrough & Warranty

    For most projects, when the work is complete, your consultant meets you for a thorough walkthrough. We’ll answer your questions, show you how to use and care for your new outdoor features, and handle any final details. You’ll also receive a warranty on any new plantings (with approved irrigation and maintenance plan) and a one-year craftsmanship warranty on hardscapes (specifics are outlined in your agreement), so you can feel confident that your investment is protected.

  • Ongoing Maintenance

    Once your project is finished, we make it simple to keep your enhanced property looking its best. Our seasonal maintenance programs protect your investment and keep your property beautiful year after year. Many of our clients choose to start a maintenance program right away so their new landscape stays just as stunning as the day it was finished. After installation work is complete and when you sign up for a qualified maintenance plan you will get your first mowing service free.

Maintenance
  • Your Call

    You'll usually speak with someone in our office the same day. We'll ask a few quick questions about your property, location, and the services you're interested in (mowing, cleanups, pruning, fertilization, irrigation, etc.).

  • Discovery Call

    We confirm your goals, service priorities, budget expectations, and any scheduling considerations. We'll also discuss frequency and service season.

  • On-Site Assessment

    A consultant visits the property to discuss primary needs, assess lawn conditions, bed areas, shrubs, irrigation needs, and site access, along with any problem spots that affect service scope or pricing.

  • Proposal and Agreement

    For Maintenance & Irrigation work, we're usually able to provide your itemized proposal and agreement within 3-5 business days of your on-site consultation, and even sooner for smaller properties. Once your agreement is signed, we will get you on the schedule.

  • Services Begin & Ongoing Communication

    Our maintenance crews perform the scheduled work throughout the season, and our account managers communicate about any weather delays or service needs, and answer any questions or concerns that arise during the season.

  • Seasonal Reviews and Renewals

    For recurring accounts, we review service performance, seasonal needs, and renewal options for the next service period.
