You've decided it's time to stop managing your own lawn care — or stop dealing with a company that isn't holding up its end of the service. Now the only question is how to get started. What does the process actually look like? What will you need to provide? How quickly can service begin? And what should you expect after that first visit?
At Texterra Lawn & Landscaping, we've built our entire intake process around making this as simple and low-friction as possible. Getting started shouldn't feel like a project. It should feel like one quick step that solves a recurring problem in your week.
Here's exactly what getting started with Texterra looks like — from your first contact through your first visit and beyond.
Everything starts with a free estimate. There's no commitment, no pressure, and no obligation attached to requesting one — it's simply how we learn about your property and what you need.
You can request an estimate three ways:
Online: Visit texterralandscaping.com/contact and fill out the short form. Tell us your address, what service you're interested in (weekly maintenance, landscape design, seasonal cleanup, or any combination), and the best way to reach you. We respond fast — typically the same day.
Call or Text: Reach Texterra directly at (817) 661-3822. Dalton and the team pick up calls and respond to texts promptly. If you have a quick question before requesting a formal estimate, a text is the fastest way to get an answer.
The estimate request takes less than two minutes. You don't need to have a detailed spec sheet, know exactly what your property needs, or prepare anything in advance. Just let us know you're interested and we'll take it from there.
Once you've reached out, Texterra reviews your property to build a clear, accurate quote. For most weekly maintenance requests, this can be done quickly using your address — we're familiar with the neighborhoods and property types across Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, and Keller, and we can assess a property's scope efficiently.
For landscape design and installation projects, or larger seasonal service requests, we'll schedule a brief on-site walkthrough. This isn't a lengthy consultation process — it's a direct, efficient look at your specific property so we can give you a proposal that's actually accurate rather than a generic number that changes when we arrive.
You don't need to be home for this. Most of Texterra's clients aren't home when we review properties or even when we service them. As long as we have access to your property, we handle everything.
Your proposal is straightforward. We don't bury fees, add vague line items, or present pricing that looks one way on paper and lands differently on your invoice. Your quote tells you exactly what's included, the frequency of service, and what you'll pay — before you agree to anything.
For weekly maintenance: your quote covers what each visit includes (precision mowing, hard-edge edging, detail trimming, and complete blow-off), the service frequency, and the per-visit rate.
For landscape design and installation or seasonal services: your proposal outlines the scope of work, the materials involved, the timeline, and the total cost. You'll know what's happening and what it costs before we schedule a single day on the calendar.
There are no surprise charges after the fact. If something additional is needed that wasn't in your original quote — a one-time cleanup, extra mulch, storm debris removal — we send a separate quote before doing the work. Always.
Once you approve the quote, we confirm your start date in writing. You'll receive details about your first scheduled visit before it happens, so you know exactly when to expect us and what will be covered.
For weekly maintenance clients, you're added to our recurring schedule on your designated service day. Texterra clients consistently note how predictable and reliable this schedule is — you learn your day, and that day becomes your lawn care day, week after week, without you having to track it or follow up.
For landscape installation or seasonal service projects, we confirm the project timeline and any access requirements. If there are gates to unlock or areas to clear, we'll let you know in advance.
Your first Texterra visit follows the same standard as every visit after it. There's no "introductory service" that's done at a lower quality to get you started and then improves over time. You get the full Texterra standard on day one.
Here's what happens during your first weekly maintenance visit:
Property Evaluation and SetupBefore the first mow, we verify access points, note any obstacles or special service areas, and confirm the correct mowing height for your grass type and the current season. If you have notes about specific areas — a section of the yard you want handled carefully, a bed edge you want paid extra attention to — that information goes into your service file and applies to every future visit.
Precision MowingYour lawn is mowed at the correct height for your specific grass type — Bermuda maintained between 1 and 2 inches, St. Augustine between 2.5 and 4 inches. We use commercial-grade equipment with sharp blades that cut cleanly rather than tearing the grass, which matters for both the appearance and health of your turf.
Hard-Edge EdgingEvery sidewalk, driveway, curb, and bed line on your property receives a crisp, precise hard-edge cut. This is the detail that separates a professionally maintained lawn from one that just got mowed. It's done on the first visit and every visit after it.
Detail String TrimmingEvery fence line, tree base, gate, mailbox, flower bed, and obstacle on the property gets clean, precise trimming. Nothing gets skipped to save time.
Hard Surface Blow-OffYour driveway, sidewalks, patios, and entry areas are completely blown off before we leave. The property looks clean from every angle when we're done — not just from the direction of the lawn.
Final Quality CheckBefore leaving, we do a quick walkthrough to confirm everything meets the Texterra standard. If something looks off, we correct it on-site.
The first visit sets the standard. Every subsequent visit follows it. That's not a promise we make for show — it's the reason Texterra clients consistently describe their experience as easy and stress-free. You shouldn't have to inspect your lawn after every mowing or wonder whether the edging got done. You should just see a consistently sharp result every week and never have to think about it.
Communication you can count on. Texterra sends service updates so you know when your property has been serviced. If weather requires a reschedule, you're notified proactively — before the missed window becomes a problem. If you have a question or need something addressed, a call or text gets a same-day response.
No need to be home. The overwhelming majority of Texterra clients aren't home when we service their property. As long as we have access, everything gets done. You'll know we were there from the result — and from the service confirmation you receive.
Adding services is simple. Want to add mulch installation, a spring cleanup, or seasonal color planting? Just call or text and we'll send a clear quote before scheduling the additional work. No guessing, no surprise charges — just a straightforward request and a quick response.
For homeowners who need a landscape design and installation or a specific seasonal service rather than ongoing weekly maintenance, the process is slightly different — but equally simple.
For landscape projects, your free estimate includes an on-site consultation where we assess the property, discuss your goals, and build a design plan. You'll receive a clear proposal with scope, materials, timeline, and cost. Once approved, we schedule the project, execute it to standard, and complete a final walkthrough with you before considering the job done.
For one-time seasonal services — spring cleanup, mulch installation, fall leaf removal, or a property reset — the process is the same: request an estimate, receive a clear quote, approve it, and we schedule and execute. These services are available to both existing maintenance clients and new clients who need seasonal work done without ongoing maintenance.
Getting started with Texterra is exactly as simple as it should be. Request an estimate, review a clear quote, approve it, and your lawn care is handled. No complicated onboarding, no vague commitments, no surprises. Just professional service delivered consistently, beginning with your first visit.
If you're in Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, or the surrounding Northeast Tarrant County area — Texterra is ready to take lawn care off your list for good.
