Our process
How we work, start to finish
- 1
Tell us what “done” looks like
Address, photos, and priorities—online quote or a quick call. We ask about access, pets, irrigation, and HOA quirks up front.
- 2
Written scope before crew day
You get plain-language scope: what’s included, what isn’t, and how weather might move the schedule.
- 3
Route-built execution
Crews trained for Midlands properties—humidity, pollen, shade lines, and the small details neighbors notice.
- 4
Check-in after the visit
If something’s off, we want to hear it within 24 hours—fixes stay small when communication is fast.
What makes Midlands Exterior Solutions different
Not a slogan list—specific choices we make on Midlands routes.
Route honesty
We quote for real drive time and lot layout—not a national flat rate that changes on arrival.
Surface-matched washing
Concrete, vinyl, and wood don’t get the same tip pressure. That’s how you avoid etched driveways and stripped paint.
Bed discipline
Mulch depth and trunk clearance matter in SC heat—we treat root flares and irrigation heads as non-negotiable details.
Weather literacy
When rain slides a wash or a mow, we communicate early with a reschedule window—you’re not left guessing.
Pricing expectations (ranges, not guesses)
Final quotes depend on access, debris, and square footage—these bands help you budget before we see the property.
| Service line | Typical residential band | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly / bi-weekly mowing | $35–$125 per visit; quarter-acre lots $35–$55 | Lot size, edging, bagging, corner footage |
| Mulch refresh | $45–$75 per cubic yard installed, $150 minimum | Bed area, mulch type, weed pressure |
| Driveway / porch wash | $175–$450+ | Square footage, organic growth, staining |
| Yard cleanup + haul-off | $250–$900+ | Volume, limb size, bed cutback scope |
These prices are estimates, not final prices. Every job gets a free in-person quote first, and the final price may come out a little lower or higher once we have seen the property.
What happens after you request a quote
- Same-day or next-business-day reply when routes allow—longer during peak spring weeks.
- Clarifying questions about gates, pets, parking, and any HOA or PM paperwork.
- Written scope + price—if something needs an on-site look, we’ll say so honestly.
- Schedule lock with weather notes; you’ll get communication if the day has to move.

| Service | Great when… | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|
| Lawn care | Recurring curb appeal, tight edges, predictable visits | Growth spikes in summer may need a frequency tweak |
| Landscaping | Long-term bed health and a coordinated front-yard story | Plant selection matters in heat—avoid impulse buys that won’t last |
| Pressure washing | Fast visual lift on concrete; great before hosting or listing | Delicate surfaces need softer methods—don’t ‘max pressure’ everything |
