How do I get a quote?
Call or text (919) 822-4413, text us a photo of the job, or fill out the quote form. We’ll look at the job and give you a straight price.
Can I text you photos of my yard?
Yes. Texting photos is one of the fastest ways to get started.
Do you do one-time jobs or only regular service?
Both. We do weekly and every-other-week mowing, plus one-time jobs like fences, cleanups, mulch and tree removal.
What are your hours?
We’re open until 7 PM. Call or text anytime and we’ll get back to you.
Do you clean up after the job?
Yes. We clean up and haul away debris before we leave.
Do you remove whole trees?
Yes. We do full tree removal as well as trimming.
How do you handle HOA rules?
Let us know your HOA guidelines and we’ll plan the work to fit them. It’s always a good idea to get HOA approval for fences and big changes.
Lawn Mowing & Maintenance
How often should my lawn be mowed?
During the growing season most Triangle lawns need a cut every week. In slower months, every other week is usually enough. We’ll recommend a schedule for your yard.
Do you trim and edge every visit?
Yes. Trimming, edging and blowing are part of every mowing visit, not an add-on.
Can you mow once instead of on a schedule?
Yes. We do one-time cuts for overgrown yards, move-outs and events.
Fence Installation
Do I need a permit for a fence?
It depends on your town and the fence. Ask us when you call, and check your HOA rules too. We’ll help you figure out what applies to your property.
Do you install gates?
Yes. Single walk gates and wider double gates for mowers, trailers or vehicles.
Can you build on a slope?
Yes. We step or rack the fence to follow the grade so it looks clean and leaves no big gaps.
Landscape Design
Do you install the plants too?
Yes. We plan it and plant it, then finish with mulch or rock so it looks complete on day one.
Can you fix up existing beds instead of starting over?
Absolutely. A cleanup, new edges and a few fresh plants can make old beds look brand new.
Do you do rock instead of mulch?
Yes. Decorative rock is a great low-maintenance option, especially along foundations and drainage areas.
Mulching & Pine Straw
How often should I re-mulch?
Most yards look best with a fresh layer once or twice a year, usually in spring and sometimes again in fall.
Do you remove weeds first?
Yes. We clear weeds and debris before laying anything down.
Do you haul the mulch in?
Yes. We bring the material, spread it and clean up after.
Grass Seeding
When is the best time to seed?
For fescue lawns, early fall is ideal, with spring as a second option. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda are usually established in late spring or summer.
Do I need to water after seeding?
Yes. Light, frequent watering keeps the seed moist until it takes. We’ll tell you exactly what to do.
Will seeding fix shady areas?
Shade-tolerant seed helps, but some spots get too little sun for grass. We’ll be honest and suggest beds or mulch where grass won’t thrive.
Tree Removal & Trimming
Are you insured for tree work?
Yes. Cesar’s is fully insured, which matters a lot for tree removal near homes.
Can you remove a tree close to my house?
Yes. Trees near homes are taken down in sections so nothing drops where it shouldn’t.
Do I need permission to remove a tree?
Usually not on your own property, but some towns and HOAs have rules, especially in buffers. Check with your HOA and town, and we’re happy to help you sort it out.
