Maintaining a strong, healthy lawn requires balancing the nutrients within the soil. Adding the precise amounts of organic matter and fertilizers to the soil, along with proper irrigation schedules will ensure a lush, green lawn that is capable of crowding out unsightly weeds.

Miles Landscaping will also prune all trees and shrubs as part of the Total Care Plan.

Prune trees and shrubs to remove damaged growth, as well as redirect new growth away from structures in order to prevent damage to fences and buildings.

Plan prices start at $96 + tax per month for very small lots. The average 7000sqft residential lot in the DFW area will typically start at $135 + tax per month. Prices will vary depending on actual landscape area to be serviced. For example: A 7000sqft lot that does not have a pool will cost slightly more than a 7000sqft lot that does have a pool due to the fact that the pool area is subtracted from the total lot size in order to calculate the total landscape area to be serviced. View our Pricing page for sample lot size pricing (without pools). Contact us for a more accurate quote and to schedule service.

A 12 Month Commitment is required for the Total Care Plan in order to cover the up front costs for Herbicide, Fertilizer and Horticultural Pest Control materials. The following services are included in the Total Care Plan.

Thirty-four (34) visits annually to perform the following tasks:

• Mow lawn areas with mulching mower; providing a clean uniform cut while adding organic matter (mulched grass clippings) back into the turf for added nitrogen. NOTE: Bagged clippings (beyond Spring Cleanup) are subject to additional charge.
• Edge Walkways, Hardscapes and Flower Bed areas throughout your landscape. This provides for a manicured appearance to the lawn’s edge, as well as controls creeping grasses from invading your hardscapes and flower beds.
• Trim grass from around tree and shrub trunks. We use manual clippers rather than line trimmers around the trunks of trees and shrubs. This extra care ensures that your tree trunks are not damaged by the powerful line trimmers that could otherwise open the tree’s protective skin (bark) to insects and disease.
• Clean Flower Bed and Planting areas as needed. This service ensures that our customers have clean, weed-free planting areas for their annuals and perennials.
• Trim Trees as needed to remove dead branches, as well as raise / open the canopy for better air flow and increased sun light to lower turf and planting areas. Tree pruning is also essential for preventing damage to fence and building structures from low-hanging limbs.
• Prune Shrubs as needed to maintain a clean, manicured appearance.
• Provide required Lawn, Tree and Shrub feedings throughout the year (3 to 5 feedings annually … depending on lawn type). We use Neil Sperry’s Texas Best Fertilizers for your lawn, landscape trees, shrubs and flowers in order to maintain a thick, green, weed-free lawn; as well as provide your trees, shrubs and flowers sufficient nutrients to support vigorous growth throughout the growing season.
• Complete Weed Control. This includes Pre-Emergent treatments for Cool and Warm season weeds, as well as spot treatment of Broadleaved and Grassy Weeds (including Nutsedge) throughout your landscape.
• Monitor and Treat for horticultural pests that would otherwise harm your landscape plantings. Miles Landscaping will only use pesticides as a last resort to prevent harmful insects from damaging your landscape plantings. Instead, we work to ensure a healthy garden and ecosystem that will attract beneficial insects (predators, parasitoids, and pollinators) that have the ability to fend off harmful insects. This will include the use of organic pesticides when necessary, as well as encouraging the planting of vegetation that will attract beneficial insects such as Praying Mantises, Butterflies and Lady Bugs to your garden.
• Cleanup properties after all landscape areas have been manicured.
