FAQs
What does your regular landscape maintenance include?
Our regular maintenance visits cover lawn mowing, shrub care, trimming, debris removal, and general yard cleanup. We schedule these visits 2 to 4 times a month to keep your landscape looking its best. We also offer irrigation repair or maintenance as part of your plan to ensure your plants stay healthy.
How do you handle fence post movement and chain link corrosion in Oakland?
Fence post movement often results from soil shifting in Oakland’s clay-heavy ground. We set posts with concrete and gravel for stability. For chain link corrosion, we use galvanized or coated materials and inspect for rust during installation. We also recommend annual checks to catch early signs of wear, especially near areas like Lake Merritt where moisture is higher.
Can you install a manual gate as part of a new fence?
Yes, we install manual gates for both new and existing fences. Whether you need a pedestrian gate for your backyard or a wider driveway gate, we ensure proper alignment and hardware. We also pair gate installation with fence installation for a seamless look, common in neighborhoods like the Dimond District.
