What does a premium lawn care plan include?
Eco Scapes·Published ·Updated
The short answer
A mowing visit covers three things: mowing, edging and blowing clippings off the concrete. A premium plan keeps those and adds what the lawn depends on: every lawn zone run and checked, the controller kept to your water provider’s hours, and seasonal work booked ahead, so small problems get caught early.
The plan side is how Eco Scapes runs its care program.
What does a care plan add, visit by visit?
Everything a mowing visit does, held to a standard, plus the parts of the yard a mow never touches: the sprinklers, the controller, any landscape lighting, and seasonal work booked months ahead.
Mow-and-go is a typical mowing visit. The care program is how Eco Scapes runs it. Drag the divider, then tap any part of the yard.

Every job, side by side
| The job | Mow-and-go | Eco Scapes care program |
|---|---|---|
| Every visit | ||
| Mowing | Mowed | Cut at a height set for the season, never more than a third of the blade |
| Edges | Edged around the perimeter | Drives, walks and beds cut clean |
| Clippings | Blown off the concrete | Blown off every hard surface, debris hauled away |
| Sprinklers | Not in the scope | Lawn zones run and walked; tilted, sunk or broken heads flagged |
| Landscape lights | Not in the scope | Checked where you have them: timer, dead lamps, fixtures knocked out of aim |
| Word from us | Varies by company | A reminder before, an arrival time on the day, a text for anything that needs your decision |
| Every season | ||
| Controller | Not in the scope | A summer schedule in spring and a winter one in fall, always inside your provider’s hours |
| Feeding | Booked as a separate job | Timed to the season on UC’s calendar (how the visit runs) |
| Aeration and overseeding | Booked as a separate job | Booked for spring and fall (aeration & overseeding) |
| Trimming, mulch, leaves | Booked as a separate job | Planned into the slow months (trimming, mulch, cleanup) |
| Between visits | ||
| Repairs found on a visit | Not in the scope | A written quote first; nothing starts without your yes |

Why check the sprinklers on a mowing visit?
Because the lawn is watered by a system nobody watches. Most sprinklers run overnight or at dawn, so a broken head can waste water for weeks before anyone sees it.
On a plan visit, each lawn zone runs while the crew is there in daylight. A head knocked sideways, sunk below the grass or spraying the walk gets flagged. A bigger fault goes to a full system diagnostic.
The controller stays inside your town’s hours (watering rules by city). Still on an old clock timer? See smart controller replacement.
What should a maintenance quote spell out?
Enough that two quotes can be compared line by line:
Tick each line your quote spells out.
If a quote only says mow, edge and blow, it’s a mowing quote.
Start with a call to discuss your lawn, beds and sprinklers. Carlos explains what needs assessing for a written maintenance plan. The quote depends on the size of the lawn, how often we come and what the yard needs. New maintenance bookings follow our selected neighborhood routes near Fairfield.
