Mow and edge

Faded, shaggy, and growing over the walk.

One tech mows in straight, overlapping passes so the stripes line up. A second edges every walk and curb with a string trimmer. The clippings get blown off the concrete before the crew leaves.

The broken sprinkler head

We find the broken sprinkler head before it floods the walkway.

We run every zone during the irrigation check and watch it. One head on zone 4 is snapped off. It's spraying the entry walk and leaving the lawn behind it dry. The tech digs it out, puts in a new head and runs the zone again to check coverage.

Hedges and curb weeds

Overgrown hedges crowd the walk and make the whole entry look tired.

The hedges get sheared back to clean lines, with the clippings caught on a tarp. A second tech pulls the weeds growing out of the curb line by hand, roots and all. Everything green gets hauled off the same day.

The dead limb over the walk

A dead limb over a walkway is only a matter of time.

We cone off the walk first. A tech climbs and cuts the limb back at the collar. The groundsman drags it to the chipper, and the chips go back into the beds as mulch. Fresh mulch holds water and keeps the weeds down.

Storm cleanup and color

Thursday night's storm left the plaza under a layer of leaves.

The leaves get blown into one pile and hauled off. The storm drain grate gets cleared so the next rain has somewhere to go. Then the crew plants seasonal color in front of the monument sign.

Seasons

What changes through the year.

Bay Area and Sacramento grounds run on a wet winter and a dry summer. The work shifts with them.

Enhancement projects

Some areas need more than a weekly visit. We take on upgrades too: new planting, bed renovations, and refreshing tired areas around entries, walks and parking.

Ask about an enhancement
Drought restrictions

When the local water district puts drought restrictions in effect, we keep irrigation schedules and water use in line with them. We can adjust controllers and plantings to meet the rules.

Questions

Landscape FAQ

Can you take care of more than the grounds?

Yes. M5 also does building engineering, facility repairs, special projects and janitorial. One account manager handles everything at your property.

How fast can you come out after a storm?

Most calls get a crew on site within 24 to 48 hours. Urgent calls are dispatched the same day. Contract clients have after-hours coverage.

Can you work tickets in our portal?

Yes. We work in ServiceChannel and CorrigoPro, and we take requests by email or phone for properties that don't use a portal.

Do you work on residential properties?

No. M5 works on commercial properties only.

Where do you work?

Across the Bay Area and the Sacramento region, from our office in Pleasanton.
