Homeowner association grounds maintenance

Big enough to cope, small enough to care

Greenscapes is not a huge national company which will maintain your landscape ‘by the numbers’. We are a local company which relies entirely on its reputation in the Sarasota and Manatee county areas. We do not ‘do enough to get by’, we genuinely seek to excel and delight our customers. Although we are smaller than some, we are sizeable enough to take responsibility for large homeowner associations — currently our largest has about 400,000 square feet of lawn alone.

Specialized, not generalized service

Most landscape maintenance companies work on the ‘generalized crew’ approach, where the same people are expected to be expert pruners, efficient mowers, knowledgeable fertilization experts and irrigation technicians. In our experience that leads to crews doing the tasks they favor rather than the ones needed. With Greenscapes your pruning and weeding is done by a specialist pruning crew under an experienced crew leader, your mowing and edging by a specialist mowing crew, and your fertilization and pest control by trained, qualified staff.

Management and supervision

Homeowner associations are frequently large and intricate in design. To ensure that every part of your grounds, no matter how small or tucked away, receives the care it deserves, we break the landscape into a detailed task list for our crews. If you require hedges or trees pruned into a particular shape we even provide our crews with photographs to guide them. Crew leaders note exactly when each task is completed, ready for checking by our Operations Managers.

In, done, out

The Greenscapes approach is to get the work across your entire property completed at one time and then leave you alone to enjoy your outside space. Other companies ease their scheduling by sending a crew every week to do some of the mowing, or part of the pruning. Our customers tell us that having the entire space groomed at one time gives a uniform look and grow-in across the property.

Communication — at no additional charge

• A named Account Manager
• An annual schedule of services and activities
• Written clarity on who may direct our activities
• Quarterly quality inspections, walking the property with all interested parties
• A written log of horticultural issues, tracked until resolved
• Liaison with your property management company or HOA office, as directed
• A telephone number answered 24 hours a day

A real person, 24 hours a day

We take pride in the fact that when our customers telephone our customer line (941) 379-8440 their call is always answered — 24/7 — by a human being, with no frustrating automated push-button systems. The friendly person who takes the call always gives her or his name and takes responsibility for ensuring you get a fast, effective response.

We are also working towards a computerized task-list system: crew leaders checking off tasks on a tablet, with photographic evidence submitted straight to the office.

Greenscapes came to our property very quickly after Hurricane Irma and did an impeccable job cleaning up all of the debris. Our community is a 55+ elderly complex and it made our residents feel so much better to have the mess that Hurricane Irma left so completely erased from the property. Greenscapes was wonderful to work with and their crews do great work!

When we went to bid to replace our landscape maintenance service we obtained 5 tenders. Greenscapes was not only reasonably priced, they came across as hardworking and committed to excellence, so we awarded them our contract. Usually dealing with landscaping companies is frustrating, but communication with Greenscapes is easy. Our Account Manager always returns my calls and emails promptly. There will always be things that go wrong, but I judge a company by how it responds when things happen. I give Greenscapes a very high ranking.

Village Brooke has never looked better since Greenscapes took over the care of our grounds in 2014. The place looks perfect and our residents are very, very happy. It is a pleasure working with Greenscapes, they are local and they truly care about doing a great job. The crews come when scheduled and do what is needed to be done. I never need to give them instructions or supervise them. Greenscapes makes my job easier.

Lakes of Capri has been associated with Greenscapes for many years and our development has been very pleased with their service and workmanship. They not only cut our grass, but they also trim our bushes, prune our crape myrtles, maintain our irrigation system, and keep our grounds in optimal condition. All Greenscapes personnel are professional, courteous and ready to please.

With nearly 5 acres of lawn, large common areas, and homeowner plantings matured over 25 years, the landscaping at Colony Place in Venice distinguishes our community of 36 homes. We have entrusted our lawns and plants to Greenscapes since 2002. Greenscapes pays attention to small yet important details, such as using plants to disguise air conditioning units. They answer their customer line 24/7 and quickly respond to any issues or questions.

For the past 17 years Greenscapes has been the landscape contractor for Clubside Place. Their crews mow, prune, weed, edge, mulch, fertilize and conduct irrigation inspections and repairs. We have a good working relationship with Greenscapes which has always been an honest and honorable company.

Jack Robson President, Clubside Place Association

It was a big decision to choose which landscape maintenance company would be given the task of keeping Sandalwood’s green spaces beautiful, however awarding the contract to Greenscapes is a decision we have not regretted. They provided a schedule of when they would be at the property and what their crews would be doing and they have proved extremely reliable. The 24 hour customer line is always answered promptly and any issues we have raised have been attended to immediately.
