§ 01 About this service

Commercial landscape contracts fail for one of three reasons: invisible scope, inconsistent crews, or a vendor who treats your property like route number seventeen. We run ours the opposite way — documented scope, consistent crews, and a project manager who knows your property by name.

Why most commercial landscape contracts under-deliver

The honest answer is that most vendors treat commercial landscaping as a route \u2014 run the same crews through the same list of properties, do the same minimum mowing and blowing, invoice, repeat. The property never quite looks right, small issues compound, and by year three the whole thing has drifted.

We run ours as accounts, not routes. Each commercial property has a named project manager (usually Cris for smaller accounts), a documented scope, and a consistent crew. The rate isn\u2019t the cheapest; the value is.

What we bring to commercial B2B

  • COI / W-9 / Net-30 / workers\u2019 comp \u2014 all vendor paperwork clean and current, available same-day on request.
  • Documented scope \u2014 you and we both know exactly what\u2019s included, what\u2019s not, and what enhancement requests would cost.
  • Service reports \u2014 monthly summary delivered to your PM inbox. Issues flagged with photos. Water usage tracked.
  • Consistent crews \u2014 same people, learning your property. No mystery crews, no translation issues.
  • Response time \u2014 within 48 hours for any flagged issue. Same-day for safety hazards.

The types we\u2019re best at

We do our best work on retail centers, medical/professional offices, and mid-size HOAs \u2014 properties where appearance and reliability both matter more than absolute lowest price. If you\u2019re shopping purely on unit cost, we\u2019re probably not the right fit. If you\u2019re tired of your current vendor and want a documented, owner-led alternative, we usually are.
