D&D Landscaping. Lawn, landscape, paver and outdoor living contractor serving Tallahassee, Crawfordville and Wakulla County, Florida.

Kept to a standard.

How the work goes

Three things we get right, every property.

01
The first pass

You can see the standard from the street.

Every visit ends the same way, and that is the whole trick. Mow, crisp mechanical edges, detail the beds, then blow every hard surface clean before the trailer gate goes up. St. Augustine, zoysia and bahia all want something different through a North Florida summer, so the height and the schedule move with the season instead of the calendar.

Built to stay put

Sand and clay punish shortcuts. So we do the base right.

Patios, walkways, driveways, fire pits and seating walls in travertine, clay brick and concrete pavers. The part nobody sees is the part that decides it: compacted base, proper depth, tight joints, clean cuts and edge restraint that holds. That is the difference between a patio that looks good and a patio that still looks good in five summers.

The contract side

Offices, HOAs, churches and campuses, on a documented program.

Commercial grounds run on paper as much as equipment. Named specification tiers, a written response window, monthly walk reports with photos, irrigation checks and seasonal color, all under one point of contact who answers the phone. Property managers do not want a vendor. They want the item off their list.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

What we do

Four crafts, one crew.

The people who install your beds and lay your pavers are the same people who come back to maintain them. That is the whole reason the standard holds.

Where we work

Nine towns, three counties, one radius.

About 45 miles in every direction out of Tallahassee. Red clay under oak canopy in town, sand over limestone in Wakulla County, salt air on the coast. The standard is the same and the job genuinely is not.

The property sheet

Let us know what we are walking into.

Three taps, no email gate. It goes straight onto the booking card with you, so we show up already knowing the property instead of asking you the same questions again on the phone.

What we look at on the walk: gates and tight access, slope and where the water goes, how much shade and leaf litter the oaks drop, whether the beds need re-edging, and how far the property has gotten away from you.

The visualizer

See it on your own property first.

Take a photo of the yard, the frontage, whatever you are staring at. Pick what you have been thinking about. It comes back as the same place, landscaped, so you are deciding on a picture instead of a paragraph.

Drag it. Same house, same oak, one afternoon.

Rooflines cut to length, columns wrapped, and the oak taken out along the limbs rather than banded at the trunk and left. Installs run early November to mid December and the dates go in the order they are booked.

From the owner

I would rather be known for the edges.

Anybody can cut grass. The difference shows up in the last ten minutes of the visit, when the edges get cut mechanically instead of trimmed by eye, the beds get touched, and every walk and driveway gets blown down before we pull out.

We build the same way. The base under a paver patio is the part nobody sees and the only part that decides whether it still looks right in five summers. Florida sand and clay do not forgive a shortcut, so we do not take one.

If you call, you get me or somebody who works with me every day. You get a real number within a day of walking the property, and if it comes in over what I told you, you hear why first.

Straight answers

The questions everybody asks.

What does weekly lawn service actually run?

We price it ourselves after walking the property, and we will not guess at a yard over the phone. Slope, gate access, tree litter, bed condition and how far it has gotten away from you all move the number enough that a phone estimate would be a made-up figure. The walkthrough is free, takes about twenty minutes, and you get a written price within 24 hours, usually the same day on maintenance work.

How fast can I get a quote?

Within 24 hours of the walkthrough. Small maintenance jobs often get a number the same day. Hardscape and outdoor living take a little longer because we price the base and the materials properly instead of guessing.

Where do you work?

Out of Tallahassee, roughly 45 miles in every direction. That covers Crawfordville, Woodville, Wakulla Station, St. Marks, Panacea, Monticello, Quincy and Havana. If you are near the edge of that, call and ask.

Do you handle commercial contracts?

Yes, and it is the side of the business we are growing. Three specification tiers with written response windows, monthly walk reports with photos, and one point of contact. Ask for the spec sheet and you will get the actual document, not a brochure.

Do you do the work, or subcontract it?

Same crew, start to finish. That is the entire reason the standard holds. The people who install your beds and lay your pavers are the people who come back to maintain them.
