What we do
One crew from sketch to Saturday mow
Design it, build it, keep it alive. Most of our maintenance clients started with one project — and most of our builds started with a mow.

Design-build: from sketch to first fire
Most backyard builds land between $15K and $150K+. We’ll tell you where yours falls at the first walk-through — before you spend a dollar on design.
01
Walk-through consult
Cal walks the property with you, hears how you want to live out there, and gives you an honest budget range on the spot. Free, about 45 minutes.
02
Design + 3D render
A scaled plan and 3D walkthrough of your yard — grading, stone, plants, lighting. The design fee is credited back when you build with us.
03
Build
One dedicated crew, a posted schedule, and a fixed written price. You get a text update with photos every week until the final walk-through.

Just outside it? Ask anyway — design-build projects travel further than mowing routes do.

Neighbors’ words
Why the trucks stay in the same neighborhoods
★★★★★
“Cal sketched three terrace options on our walk-through and told us which one he wouldn’t build and why. The bid was $42K; the final invoice was $42K.”
★★★★★
“Started with the $59 cut two summers ago. Same two guys every Thursday, gate always latched, and a photo when they’re done. That’s the whole review.”
★★★★★
“Our lawn was the worst on the street. One season of the turf program and the neighbors asked who we use. It wasn’t magic — it was six visits on schedule.”
★★★★★
“Irrigation main split on a Friday in July. Texted the office at 7 AM, crew was out by 10, and the bill matched the range they texted first. Rare these days.”
Good questions

Call (615) 555-0129What does the $59 visit actually include?
Mow, string-trim around every edge and obstacle, crisp edging on walks and drives, and a full blow-down of hard surfaces. $59 covers lawns up to about a half acre with normal access; we confirm your exact per-visit price before the first cut, and it doesn’t change mid-season.
Do I have to sign a season contract?
Not for The Cut — it’s per-visit and you can pause anytime with a text. Beds + Turf and Estate Care are season contracts (March–November) because the fertilization and pruning steps only work as a sequence. Contracts prorate if you move mid-season.
How far out are design-build projects booked?
Design usually starts within 2–3 weeks of your walk-through. Build crews typically run 6–10 weeks out in spring and 3–5 weeks in late summer and fall — the quietest (and often fastest) time to build. Your proposal includes a real start window, not a guess.
Do you service my neighborhood?
We run tight routes across Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, Thompson’s Station, Spring Hill, Arrington, and College Grove. If you’re on the edge of that map, ask — design-build travels further than weekly mowing does.
Are you licensed for fertilizer and weed control?
Yes. Turf and ornamental chemical applications in Tennessee require a charter from the Department of Agriculture, and ours is current — ask to see it. It’s worth asking any company that touches your lawn with a spreader.
How does financing for big builds work?
For projects over $10K we work with partner lenders offering 0% same-as-cash for 12 months and longer fixed-rate terms. You apply from your phone in a few minutes; approval doesn’t obligate you to build. Financing is optional — plenty of clients phase the project across two seasons instead.
