The Basics · Recurring estate care
The base service.
Never basic.
The Basics is the recurring care a property runs on between the bigger programs — the pruning, mowing, mulch, color, wash and drainage that keep it healthy and ready. One studio, specialized teams, on a schedule the property never has to think about.
The Premise
A property is the cumulative work between programs.
The Programs build the moments — the arrival, the staycation, the legacy tree. The basics hold them between visits. The pruning that keeps the architecture readable. The mulch that keeps the beds alive. The wash before the dinner, the gutter clear before the storm.
Most properties cobble these together — one company for the mowing, another for the pest, a third for the lights. Scapes performs every one of them under one roof — specialized teams of trained professionals, one schedule, one standard of accountability.
You do not manage the basics. You live in the property.
The Service Set
Everything a property needs
between the moments.
Recurring, scheduled, and owned end-to-end by one studio — from the lawn to the beds to the surfaces you walk on.
The living layer.
Everything that grows — the lawn, the beds, the trees. Cut, fed, pruned, mulched and replanted on a cycle, so the property is always alive and never overgrown.
Mowing
Directional cut. Signature stripe.
Species-correct height, sharpened weekly, patterned to the architecture.
OpenPWC
Prune, Weed & Clean.
The recurring discipline that holds the property together. Done well, it is invisible.
OpenMulch
Scapes Super Mulch™.
Aged hardwood. Two inches. Refreshed annually. Never piled against trunks.
OpenFertilization
Targeted at the root zone.
Sampled. Scored. Custom-blended. The report drives the bag — not the calendar.
OpenSeasonal Color
Scapes Super Color™.
Two rotations a year — what we plant now survives till what we plant next, so you never need a filler change-out. Up to four if you want it. Sourced from the Rain Lady Nursery, planted by hand.
OpenGarden Prep
Spring garden, prepped.
Beds turned, drip tested, transplants staged. Ready the day you plant.
OpenBrown Patch
Prevent in October.
Two applications, calendar-driven, never reactive. Save the lawn for May.
OpenSpecialty Pruning
Crape myrtle, fruit, ornamental.
The cut is a craft.
OpenThe built layer.
Everything underfoot and overhead — drives, stone, roof and grade. Washed, cleared and drained before the season turns. The protection underneath the beauty.
Roof & Gutter
Insurance, not cosmetic.
Twice a year — before the storm season, before the cold front.
OpenDrainage
We make water go uphill.
French drains, channel drains, regrade, outfall. The civil layer.
OpenPressure Washing
Surfaces tightened.
Drives, walks, patios, stone — soaped, surface-cleaned, planting protected.
OpenThe comfort layer.
Everything that makes the outdoor rooms livable — pest, mist, light and the systems that run them. The difference between a yard you look at and one you use.
Mosquito Control
Outdoor rooms, usable.
Targeted at the harborage. Paired with traps. Audited monthly.
OpenZone Misting
Summer rooms, cooled.
1000 PSI atomization. 10–15°F off the working temperature.
OpenHoliday Lighting
Installed. Run. Removed.
A turnkey holiday program — designed, installed, run, removed, stored.
OpenSmart Landscapes
Four layers, one scene.
Irrigation, lighting, audio, mist — one controller, one app, one logic.
OpenBegin
Bring the basics to the property.
A property walk to identify what is happening, what is missing, and the right schedule against the architecture.
