Why we exist

The lawn-care
industry has a quality problem.

Most "two guys and a mower" operations show up Tuesday, mow at the wrong height, blow the clippings into your beds, run a leaky two-stroke that smells like a 1972 highway, and disappear by July. Larger franchise operations are not better — they are just franchise versions of the same problem with national branding on top.

Greenmark is built differently. W-2 crew foremen, salaried not piece-rate. Every truck is electric or commercial-grade four-stroke. Every program starts with a $42 soil test before we put a single granule of fertilizer on your lawn. Bermuda gets cut at 1.5 inches; tall fescue at 3.5; St. Augustine at 4. The differences matter; most contractors do not learn them.

And we answer the phone. Owner-operator Maria Rojas takes the office line from 7 AM to 6 PM, six days a week. The crews are out, and Maria is in.

Our care philosophy

Soil first. Synthetics last.

Most of the lawn-care industry runs on synthetic fertilizer schedules sold to them by the chemical reps. We start with a soil test and work backward to the lightest-touch program your lawn actually needs.

— 01

Organic-first

The default program is OMRI-listed organic fertilizer + compost amendment. Synthetics are used sparingly, always after a soil test.

— 02

Soil testing

Every recurring account begins with a $42 soil test in year one, repeated every other spring. We program off the result, not the bag.

— 03

Native plants

The plant recommendations we make for new beds default to NC-native species — better drought tolerance, less irrigation, more pollinators.

— 04

Sustainable runoff

French drains, rain gardens, and dry creek beds — designed by our in-house drainage specialist to keep your fertilizer out of the watershed.

Service area

Triangle covered.

Seven trucks, three counties, twenty-two ZIPs. We do not take a route we cannot reach in twenty-five minutes from the yard. Outside the line below, we will quote the work but ask you about your timeline first.

Questions

Before your first visit.

What if it rains?

Wet-grass mowing damages the lawn. We reschedule rained-out visits to the next dry day, free of charge. You don't pay for visits we can't perform safely.

Do you do snow?

No. Raleigh's three snow days a year don't justify the equipment. We refer you to a snow-only contractor we trust if you ask.

Are you licensed?

Yes. NC Pesticide Applicator License (Maria), NC Landscape Contractor License (#L-19847), $2M general liability.

Do you bring water?

For mulch installs, yes — we tank in 200 gal for the wet-down. For routine mow, we use your hose if needed; the tap is fine and we're respectful of it.

Hardscape too?

Yes. Patios, walkways, retaining walls, dry creek beds. Master-mason crew. We do not subcontract. Three-week design lead, four-week install.

What about pet-safe products?

Default. Our organic-first program is pet- and child-safe. The few synthetic applications we use are watered in immediately and dry within 30 min.

Cancellation?

Pause anytime, no fee. Cancel any month, no fee. We'd rather you pause for the winter than ghost.
