Commercial landscape maintenance
Do you maintain commercial office buildings and retail centers?
Yes. We prepare recurring grounds maintenance proposals for offices, retail properties, warehouses and similar managed facilities throughout our service area.
Can you maintain schools, churches, campuses and common areas?
Yes. We review schools, churches, shared grounds, community spaces and similar properties. Service scope, access requirements and scheduling are agreed upon in the proposal.
Do you mow large commercial lots and acreage?
Yes. Larger lots and open areas are quoted based on accessible acreage, terrain, vegetation, debris, obstacles, equipment access and desired frequency.
What is normally included in a commercial maintenance contract?
A proposal can include recurring mowing, edging, blowing, landscape bed care, shrub trimming and seasonal services. Only the services identified in the approved scope are included.
Can you work from our landscape maintenance specifications or RFP?
Yes. Please send the scope, site plan, required visit frequency, contract terms, service boundaries and any vendor documents so we can compare requirements and price the site accurately.
Do commercial properties need an on-site walkthrough?
A walkthrough is often helpful for larger or more complex sites. We use it to review turf area, sidewalks, beds, obstacles, wet areas and other conditions affecting pricing.
Can you provide a recurring 42-visit maintenance plan?
A seasonal plan may use more frequent visits during active growth and less frequent visits during cooler months. The exact visit count, included work and calendar are confirmed in each agreement.
Do you handle seasonal mulch, flowers and shrubs for commercial sites?
Yes. Those items can be included in an agreed maintenance scope or quoted as separate improvements and repairs based on your needs.
Can you provide maintenance for warehouse frontages and industrial properties?
Yes. We evaluate access, perimeter turf, open grass areas, entrances and landscaping so the proposal matches the site's operating conditions.
Residential lawn care and landscaping
Do you offer weekly and biweekly mowing?
Yes, subject to route availability and seasonal grass growth. Visit frequency can change between the active growing season and cooler months, with the agreed schedule communicated to customers.
What is included in a standard mowing visit?
Standard mowing generally includes mowing the lawn, edging accessible turf boundaries and blowing cuttings from paved surfaces. Shrub trimming, bed work and leaf removal are additional unless listed in your quote.
How much does residential lawn mowing cost?
Basic mowing, edging and blowing can start at $50 per visit for qualifying properties. The final price depends on size, access, condition, schedule and service location and is confirmed in a written quote.
Can you clean up an overgrown lawn before starting maintenance?
Yes. An initial cleanup may be quoted separately from recurring lawn care if overgrowth, debris, leaves or beds require extra work.
Do you install St. Augustine or Zoysia sod?
Yes. We review turf selection, shade, watering coverage, preparation and site conditions before quoting St. Augustine or Zoysia sod installation.
Can you install mulch, shrubs, flowers and landscape beds?
Yes. We offer bed refreshes, natural or colored mulch, shrub replacement, seasonal planting and other landscape improvements based on an on-site scope.
Do you provide drainage improvements?
We review wet areas, drainage grading, catch basins, French drains and gutter connections where appropriate for the property.
Do you trim trees and clean up storm debris?
We quote selected tree trimming, smaller removals, leaf pickup and property cleanups. More complex tree work is assessed before confirming availability and scope.
Do I need to provide access to fenced or gated areas?
Yes. Please provide gate or access instructions and let us know about pets, locked areas or obstacles before service.
Masonry, hardscaping and pressure washing
What types of landscape masonry does IMRTL Landscaping offer?
We review stone and brick landscape edging, small paver borders, landscape transitions, decorative rock and decomposed granite pathways. Structural masonry and foundation work are not advertised as standard services.
Can you repair or refresh existing stone or brick landscape borders?
We can assess worn or shifted edging and provide options for resetting, replacing or extending borders where appropriate.
Do you install decomposed granite and decorative gravel?
Yes. We can quote decomposed granite paths, gravel refreshes and decorative stone areas after confirming measurements, base preparation and drainage needs.
Do you offer pressure washing for commercial and residential properties?
Yes. We review suitable hard surfaces such as walkways, driveways, patios and commercial entrances. The cleaning approach depends on surface condition and nearby landscaping.
Can pressure washing damage concrete, pavers or other surfaces?
Some surfaces or finishes can be damaged by excessive pressure. We review material, staining and site conditions to determine whether the requested cleaning is appropriate.
Can you combine pressure washing with landscape maintenance?
Where scheduling and scope permit, exterior hard-surface cleaning can be quoted alongside mowing, cleanup, mulch or other property improvements.

Is the first maintenance visit paid before scheduling?

Ongoing maintenance is generally invoiced at the end of the month for services completed that month. Standard payment terms are Net 15 unless the agreement states otherwise.

What happens if rain affects my mowing day?
Weather, wet conditions and seasonal route adjustments can affect service timing. We coordinate schedule changes as needed and avoid damaging saturated turf.
