Dixon Design's specialty is landscape maintenance.We use no shortcuts or practices that cannot ensure excellent plant health and visual appeal - for many years into the future.

• Turf Care : Turf will always have a "cared for appearance." Mowing length will be determined by the type, health, and seasonal requirements of the sod. Mowing will be done on a scheduled basis. Clippings shall be removed from sidewalks, gutters and drives.

• Pruning : All trees and plants will be pruned to maintain maximum health, growth, coverage, and visual appeal. Any trees over 12 feet high that are not included as part of our regular service must be contracted for separately with the Exterior Service Manager. Materials for guying and staking shall be billed separately with prior approval.

• Edging : The edging of planting beds and driveways will be performed every other week, unless otherwise specified for the individual site.

• Bed Work : The ground mulch will be raked regularly. All debris in the landscaped areas will be removed.

• New Ground Mulch : Ground mulch, composed of a variety of materials, is available upon request from the Exterior Services Manager. Mulch must be contracted for separately. Mulch will increase the soil's moisture retaining ability, deter the germination of weed seeds, allow the application of special weed control products, create boundaries, and add a pleasant appearance, texture, and color to your landscape.

• Fertilizers : Fertilizers are a regular part of our contract unless the client has other preferences. Lawns are fertilized four to six times a year. Shrubs and trees are fertilized according to the specific seasonal needs of the plants and conditions of the landscape. Alternate schedules and adjustments to the contract  may be discussed with the Exterior Services Manager.

• Chemical Sprays : The use of chemical sprays will be limited to light applications on an as needed basis to control insects, weeds, diseases, and fungi. We strive to be environmentally conscious. Dixon Design's crew is licensed annually by the state of Washington.

• Irrigation Systems : Irrigation programming is adjusted on an as needed basis. It is a regular  part of Dixon Design's maintenance service. All other irrigation system services will be performed and billed on a time and material basis. Repairs, preventative maintenance, pressure winterizing, and upgrading should be coordinated with the Exterior Services Manager.

• Site Service Notification : A notification card will be hand delivered to a manager on site after each service call where applicable. This card is also designed as a two way communication to allow Dixon Design to respond promptly to your comments and requests.

• Seasonal Color Changes - Annual Flowers : Flowers are often the first and last impression a company makes. Dixon Design provides an annual color rotation program that is changed three to four times over the course of the year. Our designers pride themselves on original presentations that reflect the spirit of each season in the Northwest. You can speak with one of our Color Specialists to ensure a presentation designed specifically for your company.

• Upgrade Program : Dixon Design's Upgrade Program is for projects requiring a re-design of the existing landscape. Upgrading will maximize the existing plants and materials while adding new features.

• Materials : All materials and all maintenance programs are of the highest nursery quality stock. Dixon Design extensive buying network provides healthy, quality plants as well as excellent value.
