• Grounds that

    look kept, all year.

    Mowing, edging, hedges, beds and seasonal cleanups on one schedule. The

    approach to your door, held to the same standard as the rooms behind it.

  • Landscaping is the outside half of one company.

    A lawn crew that finishes at the door and a cleaning crew that starts inside it leaves a strip in the middle that belongs to neither. Nexa runs both, so the porch, the entry glass and the mat are somebody's job by default rather than by request.

  • The recurring visit, and the work that only comes round once.

    A property looks kept because of the boring repetition, not the big jobs. The schedule covers the repetition and slots the seasonal work in around it, at the point in the year it is actually correct.

    • Mowing and edging - Cut at a height that suits the grass and the season, edges cut back against beds and hard surfaces, clippings handled either way.
    • Hedges and shrubs - Shaped slightly wider at the base than the top so light reaches the lower growth and it does not go bare underneath.
    • Beds and mulch - Weeded, edges recut, mulch topped up to hold moisture and suppress what would otherwise need pulling.
    • Irrigation checks - Heads cleared and aimed, coverage checked for dry arcs, seasonal start up and shut down.
    • Hard surfaces - Paths, patios and the drive kept clear, joints weeded, leaf and debris blown back rather than into the beds.
    • The approach - The walk to your door, the porch and the step. The strip two separate companies both drive past.

  • The same grounds, four different jobs.

    Spring

    The season that sets up the other three. First cuts go on at a higher blade while the grass is soft, beds get recut edges and fresh mulch before weeds establish, and the irrigation is brought back up and checked arc by arc before anything depends on it.

    Summer

    Peak growth, so the interval tightens and the blade goes up, not down: taller grass shades its own roots and holds moisture through dry weeks. Hedges get their shaping cut once growth firms, and watering is checked for the dry arcs that only show in real heat.

    Fall

    Leaf clearance becomes the job, repeatedly, because a wet leaf mat left on a lawn kills the grass under it within weeks. Growth slows so cuts space out, the last cut goes on slightly shorter, and the irrigation is drained down before the first hard freeze.

    Winter

    Nothing is growing, which is exactly why the structural work happens now: dormant pruning, bed edges reinstated, hard surfaces cleared, debris taken off the property. Visits drop in frequency rather than stopping, so spring does not start from behind.

  • What kept looks like.

  • Before you ask.

    How often does a lawn actually need mowing?

    Through the growing season, most cool season lawns want cutting weekly, because the guideline that matters is never removing more than about a third of the blade height in one pass. Stretch the interval and you are forced to scalp it, which stresses the grass and invites weeds. Growth slows at both ends of the season, so the interval stretches naturally rather than by decision.

    When should hedges be trimmed?

    It depends on the plant and on nesting birds. Formal evergreen hedges are usually shaped once growth firms up and again later in the season to hold the line. Flowering shrubs are cut according to whether they bloom on old or new wood, since trimming at the wrong point removes next season's flowers. A hedge is shaped slightly wider at the base than the top so light reaches the lower growth and it does not go bare underneath.

    What happens over winter, when nothing is growing?

    Mowing stops, but the property does not look after itself. Winter is when leaf and debris clearance, dormant structural pruning, bed edging, gutter adjacent tidying and hard surface clearing get done, and it is the right window for the structural work that is disruptive during the growing season. Visit frequency drops rather than stopping.

    Do you take the clippings away?

    It depends what is best for the lawn. Returning fine clippings recycles nitrogen back into the soil and is usually the better outcome on a lawn cut on schedule. Clippings are collected and removed when the grass is long or wet enough that leaving them would smother the sward, and after seasonal cleanups when the volume of leaf and cut material is too great to leave in place.

    Tell us roughly what you have: the size of the lot, what is planted, how much hard surface. We walk it before quoting, because two lots the same size can be a world apart in work.
