Patch Jobs Don’t Solve Long-Term Problems
Commercial properties often suffer from deferred maintenance, poor design, or shortcuts made during construction. We’re frequently called in after something fails, not before — and we’ve seen the patterns. Here are the most common issues we’re hired to fix across HOA landscapes, retail properties, and office parks — and how we prevent them going forward.
1. Dead Turf from Poor Irrigation
1. Dead Turf from Poor Irrigation
The Issue:
Overwatering, underwatering, or broken heads
Inconsistent spray coverage and water runoff
Mismatched nozzles or buried, non-functioning spray heads
Our Solution:
Full irrigation audit with pressure and coverage testing
Zone balancing and head replacement
Matched precipitation rate (MPR) nozzles and smart controllers
Ongoing inspections included in all maintenance contracts
Healthy turf starts with consistent, efficient watering — not guesswork.
2. Erosion and Drainage Failures
2. Erosion and Drainage Failures
The Issue:
Sloped beds or turf areas wash out during storms
Water collects along walkways or building foundations
Rock and mulch spill into turf or across hardscapes
Our Solution:
Regrading and compaction of soft zones
French drains, dry creek beds, or surface channels
Edging installation and erosion fabric under rock
Native ground covers or plantings for slope stabilization
Drainage problems don’t fix themselves — we correct them at the root.
3. Overgrown or Hazardous Plantings

Scheduled pruning and cutbacks year-round
Seasonal refreshes that meet HOA and city requirements

The Issue:
Mulch blowing or washing onto walkways
Decorative rock displaced by plows, foot traffic, or weather
Beds develop bare spots that attract weeds
Our Solution:
Reset beds to proper depth and restore edges
Use angular rock that locks in place better than round gravel
Install mulch only in wind- and water-protected beds
Annual refresh with secure steel or composite edging
Clean borders = lower maintenance costs and better curb appeal.
5. Unresponsive or Inconsistent Crews
