Vacation home and property care in Western North Carolina

If your place in the mountains sits empty for part of the year, someone should be looking after the grounds. We keep second homes and seasonal residences maintained between stays — and have them ready when you arrive.

Who This Is For

Properties that aren't lived in year-round

Vacation homes

Used a few weeks or months a year, and needing the grounds kept up in between.

Second homes

A place you come back to. It should look the same as when you left it.

Seasonal residences

Occupied for one season and closed up for the rest. The grounds still grow.

Owners out of state

Too far away to check on the place yourself. We're already in the area every week.

What We Do

What property care covers

Scoped to your property and how often you want us out — weekly, monthly or seasonally.

  • Routine property checks

    Regular visits to walk the grounds and see how the property is holding up between stays.

  • Lawn and landscape monitoring

    Mowing, edging, beds and plantings kept up so nothing gets away from you over a season.

  • Seasonal maintenance

    Spring and fall work timed around when you're using the place, not when it suits us.

  • Property cleanups

    Leaves, limbs and debris cleared and hauled away — including after a rough stretch of weather.

  • Gutter and exterior upkeep

    Gutter cleaning and pressure washing so the outside of the house doesn't slide while you're away.

  • Painting and off-season work

    Interior and exterior painting and other property work scheduled for the months you're not there.

  • Not just caretaking — see all services

Just outside these areas? Ask us — we often travel a little further for larger projects.

How Often We Come Out

Pick the rhythm that fits the property

Weekly

Through the growing season, when grass and beds move fastest.

Monthly

A steady check on the grounds without a full maintenance schedule.

Seasonal

Spring and fall visits, timed around when you use the place.

Not sure which? Tell us about the property and we'll suggest one when we walk the grounds.

Storm & Emergency Cleanup

If a storm hits while the property is empty, call us first

Downed trees, blocked driveways, washed-out drainage, debris across the yard. Call rather than email — we'll get out to the property as fast as the roads allow.

FAQ

Property care questions

Yes — that is most of this work. Vacation homes, second homes and seasonal residences across Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire, Glenville and the surrounding area.

Whatever suits the property. Some owners want us weekly through the growing season, others want a monthly or seasonal visit. We work it out when we walk the grounds.

Only for interior work you have specifically asked for, such as painting. Routine property care is grounds and exterior upkeep.

Yes. Tell us your dates and we will schedule the work so the grounds look right for your stay.

We come out, look at the property and give you a written estimate — priced per visit or per season, free and with no obligation.
