What’s Included in Our Landscape Maintenance
VistaScapes offers flexible maintenance plans tailored to Broken Arrow homeowners. Our crews handle the details so you don’t have to:
- Mowing, edging, and blowing debris from hard surfaces
- Seasonal trimming of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials
- Mulch refresh — top-dress beds to maintain 2–3 inch coverage
- Weed control in planting beds and lawn edges
- Fertilization schedule — spring green-up, summer strengthening, fall preparation
- Leaf cleanup and removal in fall
- Irrigation check-in each visit — spot heads, adjust zones, flag issues
- Seasonal color rotations — pansies in fall, annuals in spring
Oklahoma Seasonal Landscape Calendar
Our maintenance program follows Oklahoma’s actual growing seasons — not a generic national schedule. Broken Arrow summers are brutal with temps topping 100°F, while winters bring hard freezes that can damage tender plants. Here’s how we approach each season:
Spring (March–May)
Clean up winter debris. Apply pre-emergent weed control before soil temps hit 55°F. Cut back ornamental grasses to 4–6 inches. Fertilize warm-season grasses as they green up. Plant spring annuals after last frost (typically mid-April).
Summer (June–August)
Mowing frequency increases. Irrigation systems run 3–4 days per week on deep cycles. Monitor for chinch bugs and other Oklahoma turf pests. Deadhead annuals to encourage continued bloom. Deep edge beds to keep grass contained.
Fall (September–November)
Transition to cool-season annuals (pansies, ornamental kale). Apply fall fertilizer to prep turf for dormancy. Overseed fescue lawns in mid-September. Begin leaf cleanup — Broken Arrow oaks drop heavily in October. Winterize irrigation systems in November.
Winter (December–February)
Prune dormant trees and shrubs. Protect tender plants with burlap or frost cloth when temps drop below 28°F. Plan spring projects. Inspect and repair any freeze damage to irrigation once temperatures stabilize.
Why Regular Maintenance Protects Your Landscape Investment
A new landscape installation is an investment — typically $8,000–$40,000+ for a full transformation. Regular maintenance protects that investment by catching problems early, keeping plants healthy, and preventing weeds from overtaking beds. Neglected landscapes deteriorate quickly in Oklahoma’s heat, requiring costly replacements.
Our maintenance clients see consistently healthier plants, better turf density, and longer lifespan on irrigation components compared to unmaintained properties. The cost of a maintenance program is always less than the cost of replanting a bed that wasn’t cared for.
Maintenance Plans Available
We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly service frequencies depending on your property size and goals. All plans include our seasonal adjustment protocol — we adapt our scope to what Oklahoma’s weather actually demands, not what a rigid schedule dictates.
