Keeping a finished landscape finished
A new landscape looks its best on handover day and then starts moving in one direction or another. With regular attention it fills in, matures and gets better every season. Without it, weeds establish in the fresh beds, shrubs go leggy, mulch thins out, edges blur, and within two seasons a lot of what you paid for is no longer visible.
Our maintenance service is aimed at protecting the install. Bed maintenance and weed control, trimming and shaping, seasonal cleanups, mulch and gravel top-ups where beds have thinned, and irrigation checks as we go. It’s practical upkeep rather than a fixed package, and we scope it with you on the first visit based on what’s actually planted and how much you want to hand over.
The irrigation piece is worth calling out. Because we install and repair systems anyway, a maintenance visit doubles as a check on coverage. Stuck valves, clogged heads and drip leaks are quiet problems. The first sign is usually the water bill. Catching them during a routine visit costs almost nothing; catching them in August costs a season of a dead bed.
Seasonal transitions are the other high-value moments. Spring startup gets the system running and the beds reset after winter. Fall cleanup clears leaf litter out of beds before it mats down, cuts back what should be cut back, and gets the winterization blowout booked before the first hard freeze and before everyone else is calling for one.

Common problems we solve
A new landscape starting to slip
Fresh beds are the easiest place for weeds to establish. Regular early visits keep them from ever getting a foothold, which is a fraction of the work of clearing them later.
Shrubs that have gone shapeless
Left unpruned, most shrubs get leggy and open in the middle. Regular light shaping keeps them dense and in scale with the bed.
An overgrown yard nobody has touched in years
We do catch-up visits too. The first one takes longer and costs more, but it resets the property so normal maintenance can hold it from there.
A sprinkler problem discovered in the water bill
Coverage checks during routine visits catch faults months before the bill does.
What affects the price
- Property size and total bed area
- Scope. What’s in and what you handle yourself
- Visit frequency through the season
- Condition at the start. Catch-up visits cost more than ongoing upkeep
- Materials. Mulch or gravel top-ups
- Seasonal extras like fall cleanup and winterization coordination
Where we maintain
Maintenance work is concentrated close to home in Grantsville, Tooele, Stansbury Park, Erda and Lake Point, where we can reach properties efficiently and regularly.
