Why You Should Consider a Landscape Maintenance Package for Your Home
Did you know Arborvine Landscaping maintains nearly every luxury landscape and outdoor living space we installed since our beginning? In addition to offering world-class landscape design and construction services, we provide one of the most effective and proven landscape maintenance programs in the region. Here’s why you should consider a landscape maintenance package for your home.
1. Custom Maintenance Plan for Your Property
Our experts will create a customized plan tailored to your property, desired frequency, preferences, and your budget. With plans ranging from one to four visits annually, we make it effortless to keep your landscape and outdoor living areas looking their best all season long. This is not your run-of-the-mill maintenance program. We get down to the finest details, including adjusting landscape lighting fixtures as plants mature & programming irrigation system timers based on the time of year, and cleaning out drainage outlets and collection areas regularly. An Arborvine maintenance plan leaves no stone unturned!
2. Site Familiarity and Consistent Crews
If your installation was done by us, we send the same crew that completed the install to provide the annual maintenance services. This establishes an unbeatable familiarity with the property – and with you as a homeowner – allowing our crew to fully understand the extent of the property and the clients. When we complete our custom landscape installs, we first educate our team members on the client’s objectives and visions for the project, followed by an introduction on site. Through our maintenance plans, this turns into a long-term relationship, allowing our crew members to see their work thrive and grow each year while our clients come to expect familiar faces keeping their landscape beautiful!
3. Extended Plant Warranties with a Maintenance Package
As our clients know, Arborvine Landscaping offers one of the strongest plant warranties in the industry. We stand behind what we build and what we plant. We are able to offer this due to the countless hours of hands-on training and education we provide our team. This investment ensures we use the best planting techniques in addition to sourcing our plant material from only the finest growers! With a qualifying landscape maintenance package from Arborvine Landscaping, you become eligible for an extended warranty on plants installed by us. Our warranties remain valid for each year that a client signs a consecutive maintenance contract with us.
4. Expert Oversight From Your Designer
Another benefit to our maintenance packages is regular professional oversight by our professional consultants. Typically, all maintenance visits begin with a walk-through of the property to evaluate the current condition of plant material, landscape beds, and other key areas of your outdoor living space . This means that the landscape designer is getting regular eyes on the property to inspect all aspects of the landscape. This allows for special adjustments to be made as needed to maintain top-tier results. For example, if a shrub is damaged coming out of winter, our consultants can authorize additional pruning or fertilization to bring that plant to life or authorize a replacement. This is just one more way our maintenance packages provide the high level of service and quality that our clients expect.
If you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to keeping your landscape and outdoor living areas looking great, consider a landscape maintenance plan for your property! At Arborvine, we make it easy and enjoyable to maintain your landscape and ensure your outdoor space thrives in every season!

Still unsure?
Your questions, answered.
How often should my landscape be professionally maintained?
Most Arborvine clients choose between two and four professional maintenance visits per year, depending on the size of the property, the complexity of the planting design, and how polished they want the space to look from season to season. A custom maintenance package can be tailored to your property’s specific needs instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all schedule.
What is included in an Arborvine landscape maintenance package?
A typical package can include plant and bed care, seasonal pruning, landscape lighting adjustments, irrigation timer programming, drainage outlet cleaning, and detailed inspections of your outdoor living areas. The goal is to protect your investment by keeping both the softscape plantings and hardscape elements performing and looking their best.
Do I need to have an Arborvine design‑build project to qualify for maintenance?
Landscape maintenance packages are primarily designed for properties where Arborvine completed the original landscape or outdoor living installation, which gives the crew deep familiarity with the site and design intent. In some cases, Arborvine may be able to maintain existing high-end landscapes; an on‑site consultation can determine whether the property is a good fit.
How does a maintenance package extend my plant warranty?
With a qualifying landscape maintenance package including three or more annual visits,, you may be eligible for extended warranties on trees & shrubs installed by Arborvine, as long as you sign consecutive maintenance contracts each year. Because the team is actively monitoring and caring for the plantings, Arborvine can confidently stand behind their health and performance over a longer period.
Can a maintenance visit address issues like drainage, grading, or lighting problems?
During scheduled maintenance visits, Arborvine’s consultants and designers walk the property and can identify early signs of drainage concerns, grading issues, or lighting adjustments needed as plants mature. When something more complex is uncovered, they can recommend additional services or phased improvements to prevent small issues from becoming major repairs.
When is the best time to set up a landscape maintenance package?
The best time to set up your maintenance package is late winter through early spring, before the growing season starts and schedules fill up. Planning early ensures you secure preferred dates and allows Arborvine to prepare your property to look its best from spring through fall.
Testimonials

Crew H-2 was excellent. The project was a large patio, they completed it in a timely manner and kept me updated along the way. Easy to communicate with as well. The patio turned out beautiful. Crew was very professional, efficient, and friendly. During construction, my dog got stuck in a swamp, and they even went out to help him!

Greg and his crew did an amazing job in our backyard today. They pulled out some dead bushes, relocated other bushes, and cleaned up all my flower beds. Added sod and shrunk some beds to lessen my weeding. I will be having him back for more work and highly recommend Arborvine Landscaping to everyone.
Diane PhillipsHockessin, DE -
Greg and his team are a fantastic group. They do fantastic work, are responsive, courteous and take pride in their work. Our paver sidewalks were aging and coming apart on the sides. After Greg and the team cleaned them, reset the bricks and added a much needed edge, they look brand new again. I cannot thank him enough and for being great to work with. Not many companies out there today take the time to talk to the customer and listen to what they say. I would recommend him for any landscaping work you might need. Thanks again Greg.

We contracted with Greg and his team to replace about 200′ of backyard drainage piping. His pricing was competitive and they didn’t try to upsell us, or redesign the project parameters, as some of his competitors did. He installed exactly what we requested and the resultant project was a success. We no longer have a lake in our backyard and water is being diverted away from our foundation. I found Arborvine Landscaping to be very professional in the way they operated and will definitely have no issues working with them in the future. Thanks Greg.

These guys are great and really know their stuff. First off the provided a very detailed proposal with a clear plan that was easy to understand and showed they knew exactly what the project needed in concrete terms… including a list of itemized supplies needed. They were able to come sooner than anticipated even having their schedule pushed back with all the recent rain. Their employees were all super friendly and knowledgeable and worked very hard under very hot conditions to knock out the job correctly and in a timely fashion. They also provided detailed maintenance instructions for watering (sod and plant) and drainage system. Correspondence and communication top notch with personal emails sent with updates on progress. Highly recommend and will be using them again for future projects.

Greg and the Arborvine crew did an excellent job on a design-build project for us late last year. We had steps added from our raised patio to our backyard. They added a planting area near the driveway, bluestone steps, boulders, shrubs on the side, river rock borders, smaller river rock under the patio (which looks great now instead of a mud hole), and made it all look perfect. What really impressed me was the response time on questions and changes before any money changed hands, AND the ease at which changes were accommodated during and near the end of the project. I’ve seen some contractors take a week or more to return email/calls, but Greg was nearly immediate! Highly recommended and I’d use Arborvine again in a heartbeat – without getting other quotes!

Greg and his team were a pleasure to work with. They were always extremely responsive and though weather and supply issues prolonged the overall project timeline, there was constant communication and they were committed to ensuring everything was installed properly and efficiently.
Nathan & Kelly BachmanNewark, DE -
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Arborvine! Everything went better than I could have asked for from the quote to the final touches. Kathy was so easy to work with, and the choices she made were exactly what I was looking for without really being able to fully explain what types of shrubs I wanted. She got it perfect on the first try! Even better was the fact that the crew that came out to work on our yard were such great people. They were so friendly at every interaction, and honestly, working with the team again, I’d be interested in specifically requesting that they be the ones to do the next phase!
We got quotes on three separate projects from Kathy, prices fit our budget nicely and it didn’t feel like we were skipping anything to save on cost. Overall, I’m feeling pretty excited for when we move on to the next project!

So very glad that we had the opportunity to work with Greg and his team to upgrade the gardens at our new house in North Wilmington as well as get a VERY thorough Fall clean up. Fabulous design, and redesign too, when our plans needed to change.
His team, headed by Alex who answered all of our questions about maintenance as well as the day to day work, were very responsive as well as conscientious. They were on top of things after they left as well – answering our email questions about watering in a very timely fashion to make sure that our investment was taken care of.
Would highly recommend them to anyone for installing new gardens as well as maintaining and cleaning up what you have.

I used Arborvine Landscaping this past Spring for major landscaping around my house. They leveled my front lawn and added sod, cleaned up and lined our flower beds with stone edging and removed dead wood, poison ivy, overgrown brush in the far back of the property and replaced it with arborvitaes and other plants. They also added a row of rocks to improve the water runoff and drainage. We are very happy with the results and we are still using this company. We get a lot of compliments from our neighbors about how nice our house looks.
