In Challenging Times You Need a Leading Full-Service, Landscape Company Protecting Your Commercial Landscaping Assets

In this difficult economy, property managers and commercial building owners and their investors are demanding more grounds maintenance services out of their landscaping budgets. But, with a growing demand to cut costs, many commercial building managers believe they can save money by contracting with less costly landscaping companies. Most often, the reverse of this thinking actually occurs. Smaller commercial landscaping companies are unable to meet the demands of delivering more service on leaner budgets and inevitably, here’s what happens: maintenance services are skipped; applications of herbicides and fertilizers are cut back; arbor-tree care is non-existent; after-hour emergency support is suddenly eliminated; turf irrigation unexpectedly turns on during a tenant event; landscape lighting is on during daylight; un-uniformed sub-contractors begin showing-up at odd hours to remove dead and dying trees and shrubs, among other horrors.

As commercial landscape services get stretched and services omitted because a budget landscape company is incapable of handling the work, your landscapes will suffer and declining property values will not be far behind. Wouldn’t it better to hire a full-service landscaping provider who can take complete responsibility for your landscaping rather than take chances in destroying a major property asset?

AME’s automated management system maintains tighter maintenance scheduling which results in higher quality services, while keeping costs down. The duplication of services is minimized, zone-assigned work crews eliminates wasted driving, fuel and material costs are reduced and verifiable data assures that our services are consistent and in-line with your budget.

We are prepared to meet your needs with a full course of services that will provide everything you need from one location, including design-installation, retrofitting, turf maintenance, trimming shrubs and ground cover, seasonal plantings, arbor-tree care, herbicide and pesticide application, irrigation system management, even lighting bulb replacement and wiring repair. We have never failed to deliver landscaping services to any of our customers in 35 years of business. Plus, your phone calls are answered because our corporate offices are located close to your properties, not in the Midwest, a completely different climate than the arid Southwest.
