If we are interested in hiring you, how quickly can we be added to your schedule?
Timing depends on the type of service. Maintenance services can typically be scheduled within two weeks, although some properties may require an initial cleanup before regular service begins. Projects such as landscape design and construction vary based on scope and permitting requirements. In general, it is best to plan ahead and schedule early.
What are the differences between landscaping, landscape design, maintenance, and planting?
Landscaping is a broad term that includes services such as lawn care, planting, irrigation, and hardscape installation. Landscape design refers to the planning and layout of a new or renovated space, while landscape construction involves building that design. Maintenance is the ongoing care required to keep a property looking its best. Planting typically refers to adding or relocating plants, flowers, and shrubs as part of maintenance or a larger project.
What about green waste? How is this usually handled?
Many Central Coast municipalities include green waste disposal as part of standard trash service, which is suitable for small amounts of yard debris. Larger volumes generated through maintenance, cleanups, or projects often require additional handling. PM Landscaping offers green waste solutions such as bundled removal, additional cans, and on-site dumpsters. We handle the process so you do not have to.
Your quote says “Approx. 1 hour per gardener.” Why were they on my property for less time?
Several factors can affect time on site, including travel conditions, loading and unloading, and occasional supply runs. Our goal is always to provide your property with the attention it requires. The time noted in your quote is approximate, and actual service time may vary slightly from visit to visit. The resulting quality of our service is the true benchmark we seek to deliver.
Do you charge for your initial consultation?
We do not charge for the initial consultation. Contact us to schedule a visit, and we will meet with you to review your property and needs.
Why should I choose PM Landscaping?
You should hire PM Landscaping Services because we combine consistent, professional maintenance with a strong understanding of how landscapes perform over time. Our team focuses on doing the work right and identifying issues early before they become costly problems. We bring local experience, reliable crews, and clear communication to every property. Beyond routine care, we help improve the overall health, appearance, and efficiency of your landscape. PM Landscaping is fully licensed and insured, and we take pride in delivering quality work.
What warranties do you offer with your work?
Warranty coverage varies depending on the service provided. For landscape design and construction projects, we offer a six-month workmanship warranty when we are retained as the ongoing maintenance provider. Manufacturer warranties for materials such as plants, pumps, and irrigation components are passed through according to their terms. For maintenance services, we stand behind our work and will address any service-related issues promptly.
Why is a cleanup sometimes required before starting maintenance service?
Some properties require initial work to bring them up to a standard where routine maintenance can be effective. If a property has been under-maintained, a cleanup allows us to reset the landscape so ongoing service can be consistent and efficient. We will review the property with you and outline any recommended preparation before starting regular service.
