How your free estimate works

Call 804-661-3630 or send us a message, and we’ll set up a time to look at your property. Every estimate is free, whether it’s weekly lawn care or a full drainage or patio project.

  • First contact: we ask what you want done and where the property is. We typically reply within [add: usual response time].
  • Site visit: we walk the yard with you. We check slopes, soil, wet spots, access for equipment and anything that could affect the work.
  • Written quote: you get a clear scope and price before any work is scheduled. [add: how quotes are delivered, e.g. email or in person]

There’s no obligation. If the timing or budget isn’t right yet, the quote still gives you a plan to work from.

What happens after you approve your quote

Once you say yes, we put your job on the schedule and confirm the start date with you. Lead time: [add: typical wait between approval and start]. A few things help the day go smoothly:

  • Utility marking: for drainage, grading, patios and anything else that involves digging, underground lines are marked through Virginia 811 before work starts. [add: confirm Altizer places the 811 ticket]
  • Access: unlock gates, keep pets inside and let us know about sprinkler heads, invisible dog fences or septic lines.
  • Payment: [add: deposit, payment schedule and accepted payment methods]

If rain pushes the schedule back, we’ll contact you with a new date. [add: how weather delays are communicated]

Best times to call for common Richmond projects

Many projects depend on the season in Central Virginia, so booking early helps:

  • Aeration and overseeding: early fall suits the tall fescue lawns common around Richmond, so reach out in late summer.
  • Leaf removal: heaviest from late October through December. Recurring fall visits fill up quickly.
  • Spring cleanups and mulch: late winter is a good time to get on the list.
  • Drainage and French drains: call right after a heavy rain, while the wet spots and runoff paths are easy to see. Take photos if you can.
  • Patios, gravel driveways and grading: built most of the year, depending on weather and ground conditions.

Questions people ask before they call

Do I need to be home for the estimate? It helps for drainage and patio projects, so we can walk the problem areas with you. [add: whether estimates can be done without the owner present]

Can I combine services? Yes. We can quote grading, drainage and new sod together, or a patio with mulch and bed work, so the jobs are done in a sensible order.

Will you work with my HOA? Tell us the rules up front, and we can give you a written scope to submit for approval. [add: confirm whether Altizer helps with HOA paperwork]

Are you licensed and insured? [add: license and insurance details]

What affects the price of your project

No two Richmond-area yards are the same, so we price every job after seeing it. The main factors are:

  • Size and scope: square footage of sod or patio, length of a French drain, or how many beds need mulch and trimming.
  • Site conditions: Central Virginia’s dense clay, steep grades and standing water can mean extra grading, excavation or drainage work.
  • Access: tight side yards or fenced backyards can limit heavy equipment and add labor.
  • Materials: pavers versus concrete, gravel type and depth, or sod variety.
  • Haul-off: removing old turf, soil, brush or leaves.

For ongoing services like lawn care and landscape maintenance, price depends on lot size and how often you want visits.
