A well-maintained landscape is more than aesthetic—it’s an investment that adds value, enhances curb appeal, and supports the safety and enjoyment of everyone who uses the property. Whether you’re a residential homeowner looking for dependable weekly care, an HOA board member responsible for maintaining common areas, or a commercial property owner who wants consistently polished grounds, a full-service landscape maintenance plan keeps your property looking its best all year long.

At Landscape Solutions, these plans are thoughtfully designed to support the needs of residential properties, HOA communities, and commercial sites throughout New Jersey. Below is an in-depth look at what an actual full-service plan typically includes—and how it benefits every type of property owner.

1. Weekly Lawn Care and Turf Health Management

Routine lawn care is the foundation of any well-maintained landscape. Full-service plans generally include:

  • Weekly Mowing & Trimming
    Maintaining the correct mowing height and schedule keeps turf healthy, uniform, and visually appealing.
  • Edging & Blowing
    Clean edges around sidewalks, curbs, and driveways provide a crisp, finished look. Blowing removes clippings and debris from all hard surfaces.
  • Fertilization & Weed Control
    Seasonal fertilization programs build firm, vibrant turf while targeted weed control protects your lawn from invasive plants.
  • Aeration & Overseeding (as needed)
    These specialized services improve soil structure, encourage deeper root growth, and help restore bare or thinning areas. They’re especially beneficial for high-traffic HOA common areas and commercial landscapes.

2. Shrub, Hedge & Ornamental Plant Care

Plant beds and ornamental shrubs play an essential role in creating structure, balance, and year-round interest. A full-service plan includes:

  • Bed Weeding & Mulch Maintenance
    Regular weeding keeps beds neat and attractive, while fresh mulch improves moisture retention, suppresses weed growth, and supports plant health.
  • Shrub & Hedge Trimming
    Routine pruning maintains shape, encourages healthy growth, and prevents overgrowth near walkways and structures.
  • Ongoing Plant Health Monitoring
    Technicians check for pests, plant stress, nutrient issues, and other signs of trouble. Early detection helps protect the value of your landscaping investment.

3. Tree & Shrub Pruning Services

Trees and large shrubs enhance property value and give a landscape a sense of establishedness—but they require periodic care to remain healthy and safe.

A full-service maintenance plan from Landscape Solutions includes:

  • Seasonal Tree Pruning
    This service focuses on maintaining the tree’s structure, improving airflow, and enhancing the overall appearance.
  • Shrub & Ornamental Tree Trimming
    Keeps growth in check and supports proper form, especially around entries, signage areas, and commercial building perimeters.

These services ensure your plant material stays attractive and well-maintained, without the need for heavy tree removals or storm-related work.

After a long winter, properties benefit from:

  • Debris and branch removal
  • Bed edging and early-season bed prep
  • First round of pruning and plant assessment
  • Initial fertilizer application
  • Preparing turf and beds for spring growth

Fall Cleanup

This vital service prepares the landscape for winter with:

  • Leaf removal and disposal

For residential homeowners, HOAs, and commercial properties, these cleanups ensure a tidy, well-prepared landscape as the growing season begins and ends.

5. Irrigation System Monitoring & Adjustments

A healthy landscape requires proper hydration year-round. Full-service plans may include:

  • Spring startup and inspection
  • Mid-season performance checks
  • Adjustments based on rainfall and seasonal changes

Efficient irrigation is especially critical for HOAs and commercial properties that rely on consistent watering for large turf areas and extensive plantings. Properly monitored systems also help reduce water waste and lower utility costs.

Enhancement options typically include:

  • Spring and summer annual displays
  • Fall mums, pansies, and ornamental cabbages
  • Winter greens and planter arrangements
  • Perennial installations
  • Mulch refreshes and bed redesigns

These upgrades create focal points at entrances, signage areas, clubhouses, lobbies, and residential entryways.

7. Snow & Ice Management (HOA and Commercial Only)

In New Jersey, winter weather demands reliable snow and ice solutions—but this service is typically reserved for HOA communities and commercial property clients due to the scope and response requirements.

Available services may include:

  • Parking lot plowing
  • Roadway and sidewalk clearing
  • De-icing treatments
  • After-storm monitoring

These services ensure safe access for residents, tenants, and visitors and help properties maintain compliance with local safety standards. Residential snow service is not included in full-service landscape plans.
