1. How often should I schedule landscaping maintenance?

Most homes do best with weekly or bi-weekly visits from spring through early fall, while late fall and winter usually focus more on cleanup, pruning, plant protection, and preparation for colder weather. Larger yards, detailed beds, high-traffic lawns, or properties with more complex landscaping may benefit from more frequent care.

2. What does regular landscape maintenance include?

Regular landscape maintenance can be customized around your property, but it often includes the recurring tasks needed to keep your lawn, beds, shrubs, and outdoor areas looking clean and healthy.

  • Lawn mowing and edging

  • Weed control in turf and beds

  • Trimming of bushes, hedges, shrubs

  • Seasonal flower bed care

  • Fertilizing and lawn health checks

  • Leaf/debris cleanup

  • Mulch or rock replenishment as needed

D & D Landscaping can tailor the service plan based on your maintenance goals, yard layout, and preferred schedule.

3. Is fertilization part of your maintenance plan?

Yes. Fertilization can be included as part of a landscape maintenance plan to support stronger turf, healthier plant growth, and better seasonal performance. We time nutrient applications around the needs of the lawn and plants so they receive support when it can be most effective.

4. How do you handle weeds in my yard?

We use a combination of prevention, routine maintenance, and targeted control to help reduce weeds without over-treating your property. The right approach depends on whether weeds are growing in turf, planting beds, rock areas, cracks, or hardscape edges.

  • Spot treatments and pre-emergents where appropriate

  • Bed and hardscape hand-weeding/mechanical clearing

  • Advice on mowing height and watering to crowd out weeds

5. What happens during a spring or fall cleanup?

Seasonal cleanups help transition your landscape into the next part of the year. Spring cleanup focuses on removing winter debris and preparing turf and beds for growth, while fall cleanup helps protect plants, clear leaves, and prepare the yard for colder weather.

  • Spring: Leaf/stick removal, prune deadwood, aerate turf, refresh beds.

  • Fall: Debris removal, cut back perennials, winter fertilizer, irrigation shutdown.

6. Do I need year-round landscaping maintenance?

Year-round maintenance is helpful for properties that need consistent curb appeal and stronger seasonal performance. While mowing slows or stops during colder months, pruning, cleanup, irrigation preparation, debris removal, and winter planning can protect your landscape and help it recover faster in spring.

7. Can you help with irrigation system checks and repairs?

Yes. Irrigation checks and repairs help conserve water, reduce dry spots, prevent overwatering, and support healthier lawns and plants. A properly working sprinkler system is an important part of landscape maintenance in Northern Utah.

  • Seasonal startup and winterization

  • Coverage adjustments and leak detection

  • Controller programming and repairs

8. How do I know if my lawn is healthy?

A healthy lawn is usually dense, evenly green, and resilient against weeds, heat, and normal use. Thin spots, brown patches, weeds, uneven growth, compacted soil, or areas that dry out quickly may indicate problems with watering, mowing, nutrients, soil condition, pests, or disease.

9. Do you offer organic or pet-safe lawn treatments?

Yes. Upon request, we can discuss eco-friendly or pet-conscious treatment options for fertilization and weed control. The best option depends on your yard conditions, family needs, treatment goals, and the level of weed or lawn health support required.

10. Can I customize my landscape maintenance plan?

Of course. Every property has different needs, so maintenance plans can be built around your goals. Some homeowners want a manicured look with frequent visits, while others prefer lower-maintenance support focused on mowing, trimming, irrigation, or seasonal cleanups.

11. How much does landscape maintenance cost?

Landscape maintenance pricing depends on the size and complexity of the property, the services included, the condition of the landscape, and how often visits are scheduled. D & D Landscaping provides clear estimates after reviewing your yard and understanding the level of care you want.

  • Property size/complexity

  • Scope of services

  • Visit frequency
