Yes. The Cape Guys are licensed and insured, and our crew treats every property like it is our own.

Every yard is different, so we price each project with a free estimate instead of set rates. Your final price depends on the size of the area, the plants and materials you choose, and how much prep work is needed. Call us to schedule your free estimate, which can be done in person at your home. We give you a free written quote before any work begins.

Florida-friendly plants that tolerate full sun, sandy soil, and both rainy and dry seasons tend to perform best. Natives and well-adapted choices like firebush, coontie, clusia, Fakahatchee grass, crotons, and foxtail palms are popular here. During your free consultation, we recommend specific plants based on your yard’s sun, shade, and drainage.

Landscape projects here can be done year-round. Many homeowners like starting projects in the cooler, drier months, while the rainy season helps new plants establish quickly. We will help you pick the right timing for your project and water your new plants properly.

Absolutely. Many of our customers pair a landscaping project with our weekly or bi-weekly lawn maintenance, so their whole property stays sharp all year. Ask about it when you request your quote.

It depends on the size of the project and the weather. Mulch, rock, and bed refreshes are usually the quickest, sod installs and small planting projects take a little longer, and full front-yard makeovers take the most time. We’ll give you a timeline with your quote.

Many Cape Coral neighborhoods, especially in deed-restricted communities, require HOA or architectural review before major landscape changes. We’ll provide a written plan and plant list you can submit for approval, and we’ll work within your community’s approved plant list and height limits.

Yes. Canal-front yards need plants that tolerate salt air and full sun, and beds that won’t wash out during summer storms. We plan bed placement and drainage with the seawall in mind and keep debris out of the canal during installation.

Stump grinding is priced by the size and number of stumps, how easy they are to reach, and the cleanup you want. One small palm stump costs much less than several large hardwood stumps in a fenced backyard. We give you a free, no-obligation quote so you know the price up front.

We grind stumps below the surface of your lawn — deep enough that you can backfill with soil and grow grass or plants over the spot. If you are planning pavers, a pool deck, or a new tree in the same location, let us know and we will plan the depth around your project.

Stump removal pulls out the entire stump and root ball, which leaves a large hole and tears up the surrounding yard. Stump grinding chips the stump away below ground level and leaves the roots to break down naturally. For most Cape Coral yards, grinding is faster, more affordable, and much easier on your lawn and irrigation.

Most trees will not grow back once the stump is ground below grade. A few species can send up shoots from remaining roots; if that happens, those sprouts are easy to cut back, and they usually stop within a season.

You choose. We can rake the grindings back into the hole, spread them as mulch in your landscape beds, or haul them away and backfill the area with clean topsoil and new sod.

Yes. Palm stumps are one of the most common jobs we do in Cape Coral. Because palms do not rot like hardwood trees, grinding is the best way to get rid of them for good.

Hedge trimming is priced by the length and height of your hedges, how overgrown they are, and how much cleanup is involved. A short row of front shrubs costs much less than a tall privacy hedge around a whole backyard. We give you a free, no-obligation quote so you know the price up front.

During the warm, rainy months most Cape Coral hedges need trimming every four to eight weeks to stay neat and full. In the cooler, drier months growth slows down and you can usually go longer between trims.

Yes. We can cut an overgrown hedge back to a more manageable size. For very large hedges we may recommend reducing it over a couple of visits so the plants stay healthy and fill back in evenly.

We trim the hedges and shrubs most common in Cape Coral, including clusia, ficus, podocarpus, sea grape, viburnum, ixora, hibiscus, and boxwood.

Always. Cleanup is included with every hedge trimming job. We rake out your beds, blow off hard surfaces, and haul the debris away.

Yes. Many of our customers have us trim their hedges on a regular schedule alongside their lawn service. Just let us know when you request a quote.
