Built around what actually slows a board down

Defensible chargeback packets

Homeowners routinely contest forced maintenance when photos are blurry or property lines are vague. Every Yard Reboot dispatch delivers high resolution, location-tagged, time-stamped before and after photos attached directly to our line-item invoice, making your fee chargeback defensible.

48 to 72 hour mobilization

Do not let neglected lots sit for weeks attracting pests and code complaints. We hold dedicated fleet capacity for rapid response cuts, mechanical sidewalk edging, and hazardous limb clearance across Manor and Elgin communities.

Fully insured, commercial grade

$1M / $2M commercial general liability, commercial auto, and workers' compensation. Commercial-grade zero-turn mowers and professional gas equipment, run inside posted quiet hours for complaint-free work in master-planned neighborhoods.

The community dividend

Where operational maintenance meets local goodwill

Unlike conventional contractors where maintenance profits leave the community, Yard Reboot operates as an earned-income 501(c)(3) social enterprise. You pay standard market rates, but 100 percent of our operating surplus funds zero-cost yard rescues, overgrowth and brush clearances, and accessible garden builds for fixed-income seniors, disabled military veterans, and neighbors facing physical hardship throughout Central Texas.

Local abatement rules in Manor and Elgin

Manor and Elgin enforces vegetation and property maintenance standards under Manor Code Ch. 6, administered in Travis and Bastrop Counties. Cure timelines run from the notice date, not from the date the board reviews it.
Texas Property Code Chapter 209 governs the notice and cure steps an association must follow before it performs a forced cut and charges the owner, so documentation of the notice matters as much as the cut itself.
Growth is measured at its tallest point, so a single untouched strip along a fence or alley can keep a Manor and Elgin case open after the rest of the lot is cut.
Cut material must be hauled to a permitted facility. Burning is not an option during the county burn bans that cover most of the Travis and Bastrop Counties calendar.
Heritage and protected trees, creek buffers and drainage easements limit what can be cleared, so those areas are identified and worked around rather than stripped.
Re-inspection is photo driven. We hand over dated before and after images per lot, which is what closes a Manor and Elgin case on the first look.

Prairie grass and mesquite in Whisper Valley and ShadowGlen

Manor and Elgin lots run to tall prairie grass and volunteer mesquite that turns woody in a single season. Cut it as grass this month or pay for brush removal next year.

Cut volunteer mesquite and huisache while stems are under half an inch. Past that it is a brush job.
Mow before seed head set in late spring to cut next season's fuel and weed load.
Sweep vacant and builder held lots monthly through the growing season.
Keep the full parcel cut, including the rear half that faces open field.
Clear fence lines where grass burr and Johnson grass establish first.

Soil heaving and equipment damage

Blackland clay in Manor cracks wide in the summer and swells after rain. Those cracks swallow mower wheels and break equipment, and the resulting ruts read as a maintenance violation.

Walk any lot that has been dry for weeks before mowing it and mark open cracks.
Stay off saturated ground for 24 to 48 hours after significant rain.
Fill and level ruts before leaving rather than reporting them later.
Raise the deck through the summer so thin turf is not scalped into bare clay.
