Maintenance Services
General maintenance services include mowing & edging lawns, weeding and raking beds, and proper pruning of shrubs and trees up to 12’ in height. We also perform organic fertilization of lawns and beds, lawn renovations (aerating, de-thatching, and over-seeding), mulching and soil amendments, planting and transplanting, and irrigation and lighting system maintenance and repairs.
We offer recurring services on annualized contracts as well as one-time or on-demand visits.
Lawn Care
Few elements provide such wonderful contrast in the landscape like a well-maintained, healthy lawn area set against mulched planting beds. Avid Landscape Management, LLC understands how to manage lawn health from the soils that support your lawn to the mowing, edging, watering and nutritional practices that create a vibrant, dense, weed-free lawn area.
Bed Detail
Well-maintained planting beds require planning based on an understanding of seasonal weed germination cycles, plant nutritional needs, focused pruning goals, fall leaf-control, and mulch management. Planning for all of these elements carefully it is often possible to set up a bed detail plan that rotates through large properties, effectively controlling costs while providing an attractive landscape.

Pruning
We manage 3 major pruning cycles throughout the year to keep your plants healthy and attractive. Winter pruning is an effective way to reduce overgrown plant material, manage branching structure in deciduous plants, and keep certain plants on proper bloom cycles. Summer pruning is often our first opportunity to perform clearance and size control after a busy spring. Fall pruning gets things in shape to look their best all winter.
Fall Leaf Control
Leaves and debris are collected and removed from hard surfaces and improved landscape areas of the site during Fall Season. During heavy leaf drop and wet, windy service days emphasis may be placed on removing leaves from hard surfaces and lawn areas. Leaves may otherwise be tucked in beds and borders to be removed during detailing of beds in the Dormant Season once leaf drop has completed. Where possible, leaves should be left to decompose in natural and buffer areas to help suppress weeds and add organic matter and humic acid.

Irrigation Management
Effective irrigation management is focused on efficient delivery of water to plant material in order to sustain plant health and vigor while preventing wastefulness such as run-off, excessive puddling or soil saturation. Water needs change over time as plantings become established and larger properties can have widely varying water needs depending on soil type, plant species, sun exposure, and topography.
Avid Landscape Management, LLC provides comprehensive irrigation services including irrigation management under our standard maintenance plans as well as troubleshooting, repair, modifications, and new installations. Irrigation management within our standard Annual Landscape Maintenance Agreement depends not only on feedback from our trained crews who see your property regularly but also on dedicated irrigation specialists who perform services.
