For DFW homeowners with property in our service area

Your Cedar Creek place. Our crew.

You're in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Mesquite. The lake house is 90 minutes away. The mowing, the turnovers, the pressure washing, the storm pickup — none of it should require a Saturday drive. We handle the property; you get a monthly photo summary and one invoice.

The Dallas-owner pattern

You didn't buy a lake house for the chore list.

The pattern is familiar to any lake-property owner: a DFW family buys at Cedar Creek or on Henderson County acreage, plans to use the place every other weekend, and inside a year the chore-debt has eaten the dream. The grass is taller than the fence. The deck has algae streaks. The septic mound is overgrown. Every visit starts with three hours of catching up before any of it feels like a weekend off.

We're a fresh, local crew built to break that cycle. Same crew, same day, same checklist — except you're not the one walking it. You get the photos. You get the summary. You drive out when you actually want to use the place.

How the relationship works

Three weeks from first message to standing crew.

  1. Week 1

    We walk the property

    One of the four partners — John, Matt, Pablo, or Josh — meets you (or your realtor) at the property for a 30-minute walkthrough. Gate codes, alarm settings, dog situation, pool, dock. We scope the work in person, not over text.

  2. Week 2

    We send the plan + first invoice

    You receive a written scope, monthly cost, and a photo of the crew assigned to your address. You approve it from your phone. No contract, no minimum term.

  3. Week 3

    First visit, photo summary, recurring rhythm

    The crew runs the property on the schedule you picked. You get a text with photos when they leave. From then on, it's the same crew, same day, same checklist — every week or two for as long as you want.

DFW-owner questions we hear the most

Quick answers, no sales-funnel detour.

  • I live in Dallas / Plano / Frisco / Mesquite. Do you serve me?

    We serve your property — wherever in Henderson County or Kaufman County it is. You stay in DFW; we handle the lake place. Photos after every visit, monthly summary, one invoice.

  • Do you hold a key or gate code?

    Yes. For absentee owners we hold a coded entry — gate code, lockbox, or keysafe — and document every entry timestamp in the monthly summary you receive. The DFW-owner setup is built so you never have to drive down for an in-person handoff once we have the access in place.

  • Can you coordinate VRBO / Airbnb turnovers?

    Yes. We integrate with the major booking calendars or work off an ICS feed. Turnovers run inside the standard check-out / check-in window. If a guest leaves damage, you get a photo set within the hour so you can file the claim same-day.

  • What if a storm hits while I'm in Dallas?

    We do post-storm cleanup within 24-48 hours of any significant weather event in our service area. If it's serious — fallen tree, fence damage, anything structural — we send photos within hours so you know the situation before you drive out.

  • Can you bundle the inside cleaning AND outside maintenance?

    That's the most common DFW-owner bundle we run. One point of contact across the four partners, one invoice, one monthly summary. Half our DFW-owner clients started with lawn-only and added cleaning within the first six months.

  • What about pressure washing the dock, deck, and driveway?

    Yes. We schedule these around your usage pattern — typically late February before pollen, late May before Memorial Day, and mid-October before the off-season. We send before/after photos every time.

  • How do you bill?

    Monthly card or ACH. You get a single invoice covering every visit that month and a PDF summary with photos. No nickel-and-diming on add-ons.
