We understand that the 7 AM start time may be an inconvenience for some, and we want to explain the reasoning behind this industry-standard practice.


The primary factors influencing the early start are heat, lighting, and rain. Florida’s intense heat and afternoon thunderstorms can significantly impact landscaping’s ability to work safely and efficiently. By starting at 7 AM and finishing by 4:30 PM, they can avoid the hottest part of the day and potential lightning strikes, which are most common in the afternoons.

Additionally, starting early allows the crews to avoid morning traffic and complete their work before the peak rain time in the late afternoon and early evening. Wet conditions can make it difficult to perform landscape maintenance tasks and could potentially delay completion.

Early start time allows for necessary safety and production meetings before the workday begins.

We appreciate your understanding and strive to minimize any disruptions caused by landscaping work. An early start time is essential to providing timely, high-quality service while ensuring the safety of the employees.
