EXTRAS AND OPTIONS
Scheduling Option – The minimum visits per year is 2, maximum is 4. If you choose the twice a year option, it is recommended the duration of the service be 8 hours and scheduled for the Spring and Fall seasons.
Mulching Option – The mulching of garden beds is recommended once a year. This process enriches the soil, helps the soil retain moisture, and reduces weeds. The cost for this service is based on the square footage of the yard and type of mulch purchased. This option can include regular stewardship services at the time of mulching. We can review and determine this together.
