How it works

Three steps,no hassle

We try to make hiring us boring in the best way — predictable, quiet, easy to explain to your spouse.

  1. Walk the property

    We come out, listen to what you want, and look at what the lawn actually needs. No high-pressure quotes, no surprises.

  2. Quote on the spot

    You get a flat per-visit price the same day. That number is what shows up on the invoice — no add-ons.

  3. Same crew, every week

    Once we start, the same two-person crew shows up the same morning every week. Quiet, on-time, gate latched.

How my week runs

The Tempe yards I know.

22 years of the same loop, mostly the same houses. Three kinds of yard come up over and over — here is how I work each one.

The long-time owner

Maple-Ash, Hudson Manor, Mitchell Park

Older Tempe homes, 1950s lots, mature mesquites and citrus, a patch of Bermuda that has been there longer than I have. Same owner for fifteen, twenty years. The work is steady — sharp edges, hedges held to size, citrus trimmed after harvest. No drama, just the same morning every week.

  • · Weekly mow May–Oct, every-other-week Nov–Apr
  • · Hedge work twice a year
  • · Citrus trim late winter

The ASU-area rental

McClintock corridor, Lakeshore, near Mill

Owner lives out of state. Tenants are students or young professionals who do not want to think about the yard. I bill the owner, deal with the tenant on access, and send a photo when something on the property looks off — busted gate, dead head, dog that got the bougainvillea.

  • · Out-of-state owner billing, ACH
  • · Tenant access handled, no calls to you
  • · Photo + note when anything looks off

The desert-yard retiree

The Lakes, South Tempe, Warner-Elliot

Mostly desert landscape — DG, agave, palo verde, a strip of Bermuda out front. The work is drip emitters, palm cleanup, keeping the rock weed-free, and trimming the mesquite before monsoon wind makes it our problem. Quiet, scheduled, reliable.

  • · Drip & valve checks every visit
  • · Pre-emergent twice a year on rock
  • · Mesquite thinning pre-monsoon

The weekly loop

Same morning, every week.

I run a tight East Valley loop so I am not crossing the metro twice a day. Most weeks you see me on the same morning — that is the deal. If the wind kicks up or it actually rains, I push 24 hours and you hear from me.

In their words

What customers say

Some of the long-time customers who put up with us showing up every week, rain or shine.

David has done my yard off Mill Avenue for nine years. Same morning every week, gate latched, dog left alone. The grass is the only one on the block that survived last summer.

I rent out a duplex near ASU and David handles both units. The tenants do not have to think about it and neither do I. Fair price, no drama.

Linda P.

via Google

Asked him to look at a mesquite I was worried about during monsoon season. He thinned it the right way, told me which limbs were the risk, and the whole tree made it through three storms.

Good to know

Frequently asked

  • Yes. It is just me — David. That is why I cannot take on every yard that calls, but the ones I do take on get the same person every week for years. Twenty-two and counting.
