How a Home Care Membership Works, and Whether It Fits Your Home

Most homes need the same things every year. The lawn gets mowed all summer, the leaves come down in fall, the driveway needs plowing all winter, and the windows and gutters need attention a couple of times a year. Usually that means calling a different company for each one, every season.

A home care membership puts the whole year into one plan. Here is how ours work, what they include, and how to tell whether one makes sense for you.

The basic idea

With a membership, you pick a plan, and we schedule the year. You get one monthly payment, priority scheduling, and savings on anything outside your plan. There is no calling around in April for lawn care or in November for a plow.

The three plans

Every plan is priced for your property, plus sales tax where it applies. You can see current prices on our memberships page, and your written quote shows exactly what your plan costs.

Essential, outdoor property care

  • Weekly lawn care, 28 visits
  • Spring and fall cleanups
  • Core aeration once a year
  • Snow plowing at 2 inches or more
  • Priority scheduling
  • 5% off other services

Essential covers the outdoor basics from spring through winter. It is a good fit if you mostly want your lawn and driveway handled.

Premium, total property care

  • Everything in Essential
  • House wash once a year
  • Window cleaning twice a year
  • Gutter cleaning once a year
  • 2 hours of handyman help
  • 10% off other services

Premium adds the exterior cleaning most homes need every year. It is the plan we recommend for most households, because it covers the jobs people most often put off.

Elite, concierge home care

  • Everything in Premium
  • 6 handyman hours in all
  • Spring and fall home checkups
  • A yearly exterior paint touch-up
  • 15% off other services, including home cleaning

Elite is for people who want the whole house looked after, inside and out, with regular checkups that catch small problems early.

Any plan can add home cleaning, priced for your home.

What every member gets

  • Priority scheduling. Members are scheduled first, even in the busiest seasons.
  • Savings on the rest. 5% to 15% off services outside your plan, depending on your plan.
  • Our guarantee. Not right? We come back within 48 hours at no charge.
  • A dedicated contact. Premium and Elite members get one person to call.
  • Pay your way. Pay monthly by autopay, or pay for the year up front and save more.
  • Simple terms. Plans run 12 months, and we send a renewal reminder 60 days before the end.

Who gets the most out of a membership

A membership tends to fit best when:

  • You want the lawn, snow, and exterior handled without thinking about it
  • Your schedule is full, and managing several companies is one more job you don’t need
  • You travel, especially in winter, and want to know the driveway is taken care of
  • You care about curb appeal and want things done on a regular schedule, not when you remember
  • You already pay for several of these services separately

When it may not be the right fit

A membership isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine. You may be better off booking services one at a time if you enjoy mowing your own lawn, only need one or two services a year, or have a property that needs a fully custom setup. Every service can be booked on its own with a free, written, flat-rate quote. You can also prepay a season of a single service and save 5%.

How payments and taxes work

Members pay monthly by autopay with a card or bank account, or pay for the year up front at a lower price. Minnesota sales tax applies to some services, such as lawn care, window washing, and pressure washing. Snow plowing is not taxed. Your quote shows taxable and nontaxable services separately, so you always know what you are paying for.

Who does the work

Our own trained crews handle lawn, exterior, snow, and holiday lighting work. Licensed, insured partners handle painting, handyman work, home cleaning, and permanent lighting, and we guarantee their work. Either way, you deal with one company.

When a plan starts

Plans sold before spring start with the first spring visit. We are booking 2027 plans now, and we have launch offers for people who join early. You can see them on our memberships page.

How to get started

The easiest way to start is a free walk-through. We look at your property with you, answer questions, and send a written quote for the plan that fits. Choose the plan you are interested in on our quote form, or call or text (612) 977-3662.

Membership questions

Do I have to join a plan?

No. You can book any service on its own with a free, written quote. Plans bundle the year, add priority scheduling, and save you money on everything else.

How do payments work?

Members pay monthly by autopay with a card or bank account, or pay for the year up front at a lower price.

What if something is not right?

Tell us, and we will come back and make it right at no charge. Members get that return visit within 48 hours.

Can I add home cleaning?

Yes. Any plan can add home cleaning, priced for your home, and members save on every visit.
