We accept checks, bank bill pay, and credit card payments. Prepayment before March 15th earns a 5% discount on seasonal services.
How does the irrigation system maintenance work?
We handle activation, winterization, backflow testing, and repairs. Our technicians schedule access-required services and perform adjustments without home access when possible.

Three fall visits include blowing/mulching leaves, curbside disposal, and optional ornamental grass pruning. Services transition automatically from lawn mowing in November.
