The dry season
The year, around the dry season
Grass is greenest in April and brown by July. We plan the work around that, and around your fire district's dates, which you should check.

Red flag days
On a red flag warning
The National Weather Service issues red flag warnings for hot, dry, windy weather. Here is what changes.
We stand down
Mowers, saws and grinders stay on the truck. We call to move the visit.
You can
Bring in cushions and move woodpiles from the house, keep gutters clear, and know your evacuation route. Sign up for your county's alerts.
We don't answer emergencies
If you see fire, call 911. Our line is open on weekdays, and we are a landscaping crew, not first responders.
Book before the grass dries
Walks fill up in the spring. Book one and we'll set the order of work.
