Short answer
What is landscape maintenance?
It’s the care your beds and plantings need beyond mowing: weeding, trimming shrubs, cutting back perennials, topping up mulch, and seasonal cleanups. Most Peoria homes need a visit every two to four weeks during the growing season.
Is it different from lawn care? Lawn care is the grass: mowing, seeding, aeration. Landscape maintenance is everything in the beds. Many people combine them. See mowing.

How we do it
Trimming that helps plants, not just shapes them
Right timing
Spring-blooming shrubs get trimmed after they flower, so you don’t cut off next year’s blooms.
Natural shapes
Not every shrub needs to be a box or a ball. Many look better and stay healthier with selective thinning.
Clean beds
Weeds pulled by the root, debris hauled away, edges kept sharp.
