Seasonal in Santee, CA.
Seasonal for Santee homes, done by experienced San Diego County landscapers. SD does not get a real winter, but it does have seasons that matter, spring green-up (February-March), fall reset (October-November), and the one-off resets for overgrown, neglected, or post-storm properties. We handle both the scheduled seasonal push and the one-time cleanup that gets a property back to baseline.

A one-time yard reset is deeper, brush-cutter mow-down on anything over 10", full weed pull to bare soil, debris haul, and vine/ivy pullback. Weekly maintenance is the routine that keeps the yard from getting bad again. Most customers book a reset first, then set up weekly or bi-weekly service.
