GOING GREEN CAN SAVE CUSTOMERS MONEY, REDUCE NOISE and cause less fossil fuels to be used. WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR CUSTOMERS and THE ENVIORNMENT. TELEPHONE: 702-348-8399 EMAIL: INFO@ONTIMEVEGAS.COM
Hedge trimming bushes is common at many properties, many times because their anticipated mature size was not taken into consideration when they were planted. This mans recurring costs to keep them small which is typically done with noisy hedge trimmers and blowers that also pollute. We call this a
BATTERY POWERED EQUIPMENT
Batteries for landscaping equipment can not run that long so landscaping companies would need to own lots of batteries for each employee to make it through the day which could add to their costs. Many times battery powered equipment is not as powerful than gas ones but can be quieter at the same time.
Using electric equipment may be correct for some properties but not for others. We are intrigued by the idea of using noisy and polluting landscaping equipment less or not at all!
Instead of customers paying for landscapers to convert to electric and buy new batteries when the others go bad or continue to use gas powered equipment we encourage potential and current customers to engage us in conversation about what can be done to eliminate or greatly reduce the reoccurring costs associated with using landscaping equipment, especially hedge trimmers and blowers. There are options that most landscapers are not talking to customers about. WE ARE!
Specifics create a level playing field
Many landscape maintenance contracts use phrases like "neat and trimmed", “pruned as necessary”, “performed as needed” when talking about hedge trimming. If we ask five people we would get five different answers on what this means. How much growth is an acceptable / unacceptable amount of growth. It could mean weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually. In order to know what costs are it is important that maintenance contracts specify how many hedge trimmings are "included" so everyone is on the same page.
It might be interesting to see how other landscapers would respond if you told them they need to hedge trim every week based on your definition of "neat and trim". How would they pay for extra trimmings? Directly charge? As addons? Reduce other services?
Water waste

Water waste
Water waste is a "hot topic" in the Vegas valley. Many landscaping contracts call for checking the irrigation system for leaks once a month. If it is checked today and a leak starts tomorrow there will be a lot of wasted water possibly costing the property hundreds or thousands of dollars.
There are “smart” devices that track water usage that may mean less wasted water and money.
Fertilizer
Water waste
Water waste
Granular fertilizer is commonly used. It is typically is activated when it gets wet and the Vegas valley gets rain only a few times a year which means the fertilizer might not get activated when the plants need the nutrients so it is a waste of money and polluting.
There is an alternative that delivers nutrients to plants through the irrigation system. Water usually costs more per gallon the more is used so the less water that is used saves customers money.
Grass
Water waste
Grass
A Nevada law outlaws about 31% of the grass in the Las Vegas area by the end of 2026.
Many times desert landscaping can cost customers less to maintain, reduce their water bills and provide more visual impact than grass.
