Property care program costs vary with property size, complexity, and the scope of services included. A program designed around bed care and edging looks different from a full-property program that includes pruning, fertilization, and seasonal cleanups. We scope each program to the specific property after a site walk - no boilerplate pricing.

Visit frequency depends on the program. Most clients prefer 6-10 visits per year - typically a spring opening, monthly visits through the growing season, and a fall cleanup. Some clients request bi-weekly visits for higher-touch maintenance. We design the schedule around what your landscape actually needs, not a generic calendar.

No. We take on property care for properties we didn't install when there's good fit - typically properties with well-designed existing landscapes that need ongoing care matching our standards. We don't take on every property care request, because some sites are better suited to a different service model.

Deer pressure is significant in much of our service area - Wayzata, Orono, Minnetonka, and Medina especially. We use a layered approach: plant selection (deer-resistant species where appropriate), spray-applied repellents on susceptible plants, and physical protection (deer fencing, plant cages) for high-value landscape investments. For severe pressure, professional fencing is often the only effective option.

Aspen doesn't typically include weekly mowing as part of property care - most clients have a separate lawn service handling weekly mow-and-go. We focus on the landscape work that requires landscape expertise (bed care, pruning, plant health). For clients who want fully integrated service, we can coordinate with a lawn partner.

Yes. We regularly customize programs around specific high-value features - mature trees that need monitoring, ornamental beds with specific perennials, outdoor living spaces that need recurring detail work, or shoreline plantings that need specialized care. The program reflects the property, not a template.
