Sunscape Landscaping Answers Your Frequently Asked Questions about Landscaping and Lawn Care in Southern MD
What areas of Southern Maryland do you serve?
We proudly serve residential and commercial clients throughout Charles, St. Mary’s, and Calvert Counties. This includes communities like Waldorf, La Plata, Leonardtown, Lexington Park, Prince Frederick, and surrounding areas.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. SunScape Landscaping LLC is a fully licensed and insured professional landscaping company. We prioritize the safety of our crew and the protection of your property, giving you total peace of mind while we work.
How do I get a quote for my project?
You can request a free estimate by calling us at 240-682-6952 or filling out the contact form on our website. We prefer to visit your property in person to provide an accurate, transparent written proposal tailored to your specific landscape needs.
Do I need to be home when you perform services?
No, you do not need to be home for routine services like mowing, leaf removal, or fertilization. We just ask that all gates are unlocked and pets are kept indoors on your scheduled service day.
How often should my lawn be mowed?
For most Southern Maryland lawns, we recommend a weekly mowing schedule during the peak growing season (typically April through October). This ensures we never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at a time, which keeps the turf healthy and prevents "scalping."
What is included in your seasonal cleanups?
Our spring and fall cleanups typically include leaf and debris removal, bed edging, pruning of ornamental shrubs, and a fresh application of mulch. These services are essential for preparing your landscape for the extreme temperatures of summer or winter.
When is the best time to seed my lawn?
In our region, the ideal time for grass seeding is late summer to early fall. The warm soil and cooler air provide the perfect environment for root establishment before the winter frost sets in.
How long does it take to install a new sod lawn?
Depending on the size of the area, most residential sod installations can be completed in a single day. You will go from bare dirt to a lush, green carpet instantly, though it will require a specific watering regimen for the first few weeks to fully "knit" into the soil.
Do you offer commercial snow removal?
Yes. We provide reliable snow plowing and sidewalk de-icing for both residential driveways and commercial parking lots. Because winter weather can be unpredictable, we recommend signing up for our snow list early in the season to ensure priority service.
Do you offer recurring maintenance contracts?
Absolutely. We offer customized annual or seasonal maintenance plans that bundle services like mowing, fertilization, and leaf removal. These plans ensure your property looks its best year-round and often come with more predictable monthly billing.
