About On Time Landscaping

Why did I start On Time Landscaping?

Before starting On Time Landscaping I served on an HOA board first as a board member on a builder controlled board and then as president.  I saw firsthand how frustrating it was to receive one-size-fits-all landscaping bids not ones tailored to our community — followed by companies who did not deliver on their promises. I knew our community was not alone in facing these challenges.  I founded On Time Landscaping: to provide a better, more reliable, and customizable landscaping solution. My mission has always been to serve customers with honesty, accountability, and personalized care.

Of course we pull weeds, trim hedges, and blow leaves

 like other landscaping companies, no need to sugar coat it.   We have all heard the promises from companies claiming to do it better than the last company or the other competitors. 


What sets On Time Landscaping apart is our commitment to customization, communication, consistency, and honesty. We don’t believe in overpromising — we believe in being upfront, sometimes having the conversations people do not want to have because at the end of the day we want what is best for our customers knowing it will benefit us in the end.

Ditch the 4 week rotation and go back to weekly service

Leaves

Leaves  accumulate over a month between services and can increase slip and fire hazards, block gutters and drainage systems, leading to potential water damage or costly repairs and are just ugly! Weekly visits reduce risk and improve curb appeal. 

Weeds

Weeds grow and spread over weeks between services becoming larger and multiply. Our weekly service catches and deals with them well before a 4-week rotation. Many people are surprised at which landscaping companies are not licensed to include weed control spraying in bids and contracts and to do the spraying. We are licensed!

Leak detection and repair

Leak detection and repair

 With the price of water and water waste fines, instead of waiting for once a month irrigation checks lets use technology to help us monitor 24 /7. No weeks of waiting. 

Communication

Who?

If there is ever an issue or a question, customers don’t have to go through layers of people to get answers or things done.  I have intentionally kept On Time Landscaping at a manageable size so I can stay directly involved — not just behind the scenes.  As the owner, I am the point of contact, the decision-maker, and the face of the business. 


When both customers and staff know the owner is available and engaged, everyone benefits.

Conversations

I am not throwing out the rulebook— I am just willing to talk about ways to do things that some others wont. 


Not radical. They’re practical. They’re proven. 


They just need to be discussed.

Say what?

I am proud of the reviews left by real customers of On Time Landscaping on Google and Yelp. The occasional “spam” review sticks out like a sore thumb, the genuine feedback consistently highlight what matters most: our excellent customer service and high-quality landscaping work. Most times HOA managers and board members do not identify themselves as such but the accolades transcend property types.

Hedge trimming can be a hot topic and an expensive one.

Balancing aesthetics, cost, and practicality

  Hedge trimming is often seen as a basic part of landscape maintenance contracts — but it is more complex than it looks and I want to fix it. 


Many HOA landscape maintenance contracts use phrases like "neat and trim" or "manicured."  What one person considers neat and trim or manicured, another might view as overgrown.  Ask a few board members or residents what those terms mean to them, and you will likely get a variety of answers — leading to unmet expectations and frustration.


Now let’s talk cost.  Every time bushes are hedge trimmed there are real, repeatable costs: labor, equipment, and disposal. Yet, in many contracts, there is no clear definition of how many times per year trimming will occur — and still, a fixed monthly price is expected. That raises an important question: If you don’t know how often it’s being done, how can you know what you’re really paying for or what it costs?


Have you ever asked landscapers to break out the annual cost of hedge trimming alone? Multiply that number of years communities have been paying for it and it can be eye-opening. And in some cases, the aesthetic concerns that drive hedge trimming could be resolved with better plant choices, redesigns, or even eliminating the need for trimming altogether — saving money and producing more consistent looking plants.

Bushes close to buildings and vehicles

The photos above are not uncommon sights within HOAs

  • Cars parked next to bushes that get hedge trimmed, sometimes with windows open or freshly washed. 
  • Homes  with doors or windows open nearby 
  • Loose  clippings blowing in the wind, landing in vehicles, on porches, or down the street


These situations not only make cleanup difficult and take longer but also create resident complaints and potential liability.  Many hedge trimmed bushes hide dead, dry interior branches that are flammable — posing a serious fire risk, especially in desert climates like Las Vegas.  Imagine if fire damaged vehicles or a structure? At On Time Landscaping, we work with HOAs to rethink landscape practices, align aesthetics with community expectations, and eliminate unnecessary costs where possible. Hedge trimming doesn’t have to be a recurring problem — it can be an opportunity for smarter landscape management.  

HEDGE TRIMMING is a reoccurring and increasing cost that is also noisy and produces inconsistent looking bushes through out the year that does not need to continue!

Note what happens to shrubs when we are constantly shearing them... Pretty soon, you have… unhealthy plants with bare patches in the canopy. And you the gardener end up with very few flowers...Look inside the plant…dead branches… (which may be a fire hazard)

 “…the value of… a landscape improvement increases over time since the growth and maturity of trees and shrubs enhance aesthetic appeal.”    Many landscape maintenance contracts overlook plant health, which can have a ripple effect — impacting property values, crime rates, and even long-term costs like repaving. At On Time Landscaping, we work closely with our customers to implement tailored plant health programs that promote healthier landscapes and deliver real, measurable benefits to their properties.

  Shade protects asphalt surfaces, with the potential of reducing repaving costs by as much as 58%.      


Many HOA maintenance contracts “include” trimming trees below about 10 to 12 feet off the ground. This does not address taking care of and the importance of healthy trees and the role they and their canopies play. Once trees are raised to over 10 / 12 feet where is the money going that is allocated in a maintenance contract? Straight into the pockets of the landscaper.

RFP and Budget

When people shop for a car, they usually know their budget. Someone looking for a used Toyota Camry probably is not going into a Rolls Royce dealership or vice versa— because they know what they can afford and what they are looking for. The same logic applies to landscape maintenance.


By providing landscapers with a clear set of expectation / RFP and a realistic budget, you are giving them the tools to build a proposal that makes sense for each community. A $500 a month budget includes different services or frequencies than a $1,500 a month budget — and knowing that range up front helps avoid wasted time and mismatched expectations.


Sharing specific “hot topics” or pain points about communities (e.g., irrigation issues, noise complaints, plant health) allows us to tailor our proposal to directly address what matters most to each community.


At On Time Landscaping, we pride ourselves on offering a level of flexibility and customization that many other landscapers can not — or will not — provide. 


Being transparent with communities goals and budgets helps us find the best way to meet communities needs without surprises later on.

Why make plant changes now?

According to the Virginia Cooperative Extension “…the value of… a landscape improvement increases over time since the growth and maturity of trees and shrubs enhance aesthetic appeal.”(Source) It is generally less expensive to plant smaller plants than larger ones so do not wait as the time will never be just right. Get the ball rolling so these plants have time to grow!

Tree trimming

Many landscape maintenance contracts claim that tree trimming is included — but often, it’s only “limited tree trimming” up to a certain height. 


Why that height? In many cases, it has less to do with tree health and more to do with the landscaper's insurance limitations. This usually means only the lowest branches are trimmed, which rarely supports a healthy canopy or long-term tree structure.


The truth is: Healthy trees — especially mature ones — are valuable assets. They provide shade, reduce cooling costs, improve curb appeal, and can even increase property values. But to get these benefits, trees need more than just removing the bottom branches. They need prunning that includes the canopy to reduce wind resistance and prevent breakage during storms — which is often when you see branches (or entire trees) come down.


Want to understand the real cost of proper tree trimming? Ask a company or two, or more to bid just on tree trimming, even below the 10/12 feet that is sometimes included in maintenance contracts.  You'll often find that the price of doing it right is equal to or greater than several months of the landscape maintenance contract. So if your landscaper says it's included, ask: How?


  • Are large diameter branches really being removed at no extra charge?
     
  • Is trimming being skipped or rushed to stay within budget?
     
  • Where are the costs being hidden elsewhere?
     

The reality is:  Something else has to give, or the quality of the tree work suffers — and over time, that can cost your community far more.  We have found that removing tree trimming from general maintenance contracts and establishing a separate, tree trimming program often results in:

  • Healthier trees
  • Fewer emergency removals
  • Lower long-term costs
  • More transparency in pricing
     

Like with hedge trimming, if your current  or other landscapers has not brought these items to your attention, their silence could already be costing communities — both financially and in the health of the trees.
