With winter behind us, it’s time to wake up your property and set the stage for a healthy, vibrant landscape. Weekly visits begin the first week of April, ensuring your lawn and garden receive the consistent care they need right from the start of the growing season.

One of our first priorities is core aeration and overseeding using a premium Kentucky bluegrass mix. This process relieves soil compaction, improves nutrient absorption, and encourages strong root development, giving your lawn the best possible start for a lush, green summer.

We’ll also begin cleaning up flower beds, removing any remaining debris from winter, and redefining edges for a crisp, well-maintained appearance. Once beds are prepped, we apply fresh mulch—available in black, brown, or natural wood chips—to enhance curb appeal while helping retain moisture and suppress weeds.

As temperatures rise, weekly mowing and edging will begin as soon as your grass is ready for its first cut. If growth is slow due to early spring conditions, we’ll still visit to touch up edges, monitor progress, and ensure everything is shaping up properly. Our goal is to make sure your yard always looks well-kept and professionally maintained, with no guesswork or effort required on your part.

Spring is all about building the foundation for a healthy lawn and landscape, and with Outdoor Autopilot, you can trust that every detail is taken care of.

As temperatures rise and rainfall becomes less predictable, our focus shifts from rapid lawn growth to preserving the health and appearance of your landscape through consistent care. Weekly visits continue throughout the summer, ensuring your lawn, garden beds, and outdoor spaces stay well-maintained, even during the most challenging months of the year.

With slower grass growth, mowing may not be needed every week, but our visits remain just as valuable. We’ll keep up with edging, ensuring crisp lines along walkways, driveways, and flower beds so your yard always looks polished. Instead of simply cutting grass that doesn’t need it, we shift our attention to weed control—removing invasive summer weeds from lawns and garden beds before they have a chance to take over.

During hot, dry stretches, we also monitor your lawn and plants for signs of stress and, if needed, provide supplemental watering to keep them thriving. Our goal is to preserve the progress made in the spring, ensuring your lawn stays as healthy as possible while helping your flower beds remain weed-free and looking their best.

Shrubs and bushes will also get the attention they need, with seasonal shaping and trimming to maintain a neat and uniform appearance. By keeping up with regular maintenance now, we set the stage for a smooth transition into fall, ensuring that your property looks great throughout the entire growing season.

As the seasons change, our focus shifts from active growth to preparing your entire property for the months ahead. Weekly visits continue throughout the fall, ensuring that leaves, overgrowth, and seasonal debris are managed before winter arrives.

One of the most important fall services is core aeration and overseeding with a fescue mix. This strengthens your lawn by reducing soil compaction, encouraging deep root growth, and filling in thin areas so your grass is healthier and more resilient come spring. By completing aeration in the fall, your lawn has the opportunity to establish strong roots before the first frost.

Leaf management is a major focus this time of year. As leaves begin to drop, we handle them based on your preferences—mulching them back into the lawn for natural fertilization, gathering them for composting, bagging them for removal, or pulling them to the curb for city pickup. No matter how you choose to handle them, we ensure that leaves don’t pile up and become a problem before winter.

We also complete a full gutter cleaning to clear out fallen leaves, twigs, and other debris that could lead to drainage issues, ice buildup, or water damage. Keeping gutters clean before winter ensures that melting snow and seasonal rains drain properly, preventing potential problems for your home.

Before wrapping up the season, shrubs and bushes receive their final shaping and pruning, and we complete a last mow and edging to keep your property looking its best before winter arrives. By handling these essential fall tasks now, we set up your lawn and landscape for a smooth transition into the colder months, ensuring that everything is well-maintained and winter-ready.

While the growing season has come to a halt, our work doesn’t stop. Winter is all about keeping your property safe, monitoring for storm damage, and preparing for the season ahead. Unlike other times of the year, we may not be on-site every week, but we are constantly watching the weather and responding when needed.

Our snow removal service is activated whenever three inches of accumulation occurs. We clear driveways and walkways efficiently, ensuring safe access to your home during winter storms. Our team is always on alert for snowfall, so you don’t have to worry about digging out after every storm.

Beyond snow removal, we also perform winter pruning on trees and shrubs that benefit from seasonal trimming. Proper winter pruning helps shape and strengthen plants, preventing breakage and encouraging healthier growth in the spring.

We also conduct property check-ins after major storms to look for fallen limbs, heavy snow buildup, or anything else that could pose a hazard. If we notice anything that needs attention, we’ll take care of it or notify you of any issues that require further action.

Winter is a time when certain elements of your property naturally go dormant, and we allow them to do so. However, we remain actively engaged in monitoring your property and responding as needed to keep things in order. Even during the slowest season, you can trust that we’re watching over your home and will be there when it matters most.

The first step to putting your outdoor maintenance on autopilot is scheduling a time for us to visit your property. This meeting allows us to meet you, understand your needs, evaluate your outdoor space, and discuss how our services can help you.

We’ll walk the property with you, go over the details of our Outdoor Autopilot programs, and answer any questions you have. This visit ensures we fully understand your expectations so we can recommend the best plan for your home. Once we’ve assessed your property, we’ll move forward with a detailed consultation and proposal.

During the walkthrough, we will evaluate your lawn health, garden beds, and overall property condition to ensure we understand what’s needed to keep everything looking its best. We’ll identify any potential problem areas, go over seasonal maintenance needs, and discuss how our services fit into your property’s long-term care. This is also the time to ask any questions about scheduling, pricing, or customizations, so you feel completely confident moving forward.

By the end of the walkthrough, we’ll have a clear understanding of your expectations and the best plan for your home. Once complete, we’ll put together a detailed proposal outlining your recommended services, pricing, and next steps. With the right plan in place, you’ll be one step closer to stress-free outdoor maintenance.

After the property walkthrough, we’ll send you a detailed proposal via email outlining everything we discussed. This will include a breakdown of the recommended Outdoor Autopilot program, a clear summary of services, and pricing options. Within the proposal, you’ll also have the opportunity to review and sign our service agreement and set up your payment plan through our secure payment processor for automatic monthly drafts.

Once everything is finalized, your work is done. We’ll add your property to our route, ensuring all selected services are handled on schedule. From that point forward, you can sit back and enjoy a well-maintained outdoor space without lifting a finger. If you ever have questions or need assistance with anything outside of your selected services, just give us a call—we’re always here to help.
