Services Overview
-
A full-service annual maintenance contract with Roche Landscaping Services covers the complete seasonal cycle of a commercial property's landscape needs. Spring and summer services typically include regular mowing and edging, bed maintenance, fertilization, weed and pest control, and irrigation system startup and management. Fall services include seasonal cleanups, leaf removal, and winterization of irrigation systems. Winter coverage includes snow and ice management with 24/7 monitoring and response. The contract is structured around the specific property and adjusted as needs evolve, with a dedicated account manager overseeing quality throughout the year.
-
A commercial landscape construction project with Roche Landscaping Services begins with a detailed site analysis and consultation to understand the client's goals, timeline, and budget. From there, the team develops a design that addresses both the aesthetic and functional requirements of the property, manages the permitting process, coordinates with other trades on site, and executes the installation through to final inspection. Projects can include plantings, hardscape features, outdoor lighting, fencing, groundwork, irrigation, and site furnishings, depending on scope. Clients are assigned a dedicated project manager who serves as the single point of contact throughout.
-
Roche Landscaping Services works with builders and developers from early project planning through final installation and handoff. The team understands the demands of active construction environments, including phased schedules, coordination with multiple trades, and the need for a landscaping partner who can execute reliably without adding management burden to the development team. Services available to builders and developers span the full range of landscape construction offerings, and many development clients transition into ongoing maintenance contracts once the project is complete.
Process
-
New maintenance clients begin with an on-site consultation where the Roche team walks the property, reviews the scope of services needed, and discusses the client's expectations and budget. From there, a customized service plan and contract are developed for review and approval. Once the contract is in place, a dedicated account manager is assigned and a service schedule is established. Most clients are fully onboarded and receive service within a short window after contract execution.
-
Every Roche Landscaping Services client is assigned a dedicated account manager or project manager who serves as the primary point of contact throughout the engagement. This means property managers and HOA boards are not navigating a call center or rotating staff when they have questions or concerns. The same person who manages the day-to-day relationship also takes ownership of issues when they arise, which is a core part of how Roche maintains the communication standard its clients depend on.
-
Changes and issues are addressed directly and transparently. If scope needs to expand, if site conditions change, or if a service concern is raised, the account manager communicates the situation and proposed resolution clearly before moving forward. Roche Landscaping Services builds long-term client relationships, and that means being honest and responsive when things need to be adjusted rather than deflecting or delaying.
Communication & Accountability
-
Roche Landscaping Services conducts regular quality inspections throughout the service season, not just at the start of the contract. Account managers review work after visits and address any issues proactively rather than waiting for client complaints. Clients receive documentation of service activity and have a direct line to their account manager at all times. This structure is designed to catch and correct quality gaps before they become patterns.
-
Roche Landscaping Services holds itself accountable to the service commitments in each contract. If a visit is missed or a concern is not resolved to the client's satisfaction, the account manager is the direct point of escalation and is responsible for coordinating a resolution. The company's reputation is built on clients who have stayed for years or decades, and that retention only happens when issues are handled quickly and honestly.
-
Response times for urgent requests depend on the nature of the situation, but Roche Landscaping Services prioritizes commercial accounts that require immediate attention, particularly for safety-related concerns such as storm damage, hazardous conditions, or winter weather events. Snow and ice management clients receive 24/7 coverage throughout the winter season. For non-emergency service concerns, the account manager is the first point of contact and will coordinate a timeline for resolution.
Construction & Performance
-
Roche Landscaping Services manages construction projects with experienced in-house crews and leadership, which is a key factor in the consistency and accountability of clients' experience on commercial builds. This structure means the team responsible for planning the work is also accountable for executing it and for the quality of the finished result. Coordination with other trades on multi-contractor projects is managed directly by the Roche project manager assigned to the account.
-
Schedule adherence is a priority that Roche Landscaping Services takes seriously on every commercial construction engagement, particularly on active development sites where landscaping installation is tied to broader project milestones. The project management approach includes detailed scheduling from the start, proactive communication when adjustments are needed, and the operational capacity to mobilize crews and equipment efficiently to meet critical deadlines. Builders and general contractors who work with Roche consistently note the team's ability to execute without requiring additional oversight.
-
Commercial construction capabilities at Roche Landscaping Services include paver patios and walkways, retaining and seating walls, outdoor lighting systems, fencing, site furnishings, and other hard surface features and structures appropriate for commercial properties and residential communities. Each project is designed around the specific functional and aesthetic requirements of the site, and materials are selected for long-term performance in the conditions specific to the Mid-Atlantic region.
Pricing & Getting Started
-
Commercial landscape maintenance and construction contracts are priced based on the specific scope of work, the size and complexity of the property, the services included, and the frequency of visits. Roche Landscaping Services does not provide generic pricing without an on-site assessment, because an accurate proposal requires understanding the full picture of what the property needs. Clients receive a detailed scope of work with their proposal so there is complete clarity on what is and is not included.
-
No preparation is required before getting in touch. It is helpful to have a general sense of the services needed and the property's square footage or acreage if known, but the Roche team will gather the information needed during the consultation and site visit. Property managers who are switching from an existing provider are welcome to share what has and has not been working so the new plan can be built to address those gaps directly.
-
Contact Roche Landscaping Services through the website or by calling the Frederick, MD office directly. The team will schedule a consultation and on-site visit to assess the property, discuss the scope of services, and develop a proposal tailored to the property's needs and budget. There’s no obligation to the consultation, and the team will provide a clear, detailed proposal so you have everything needed to make a confident decision.
