We live in an upscale neighborhood in a MCOL suburb of a major city. Our yard isn’t particularly big, about 1/3-1/2 of an acre. We have been through a few lawn services and they do a serviceable job mowing the lawn, spreading mulch a couple of times a year etc. However, we are really looking for more of a groundskeeper service. I’d like someone that would be able to prune trees, plant annuals, make recommendations, maintain the irrigation system etc.

The services we have used will do these things, but it’s always a la carte and requires us to identify what we want and specifically ask. Has anyone had luck in finding a more turn key service short of having a full time groundskeeper? What service am I looking for?

Thanks
