Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know — about service areas, financing, our process, and what each of our six divisions does. If you don't find what you're looking for, give us a call at (806) 632-2468.

Service Areas

Where does Mission Service Companies provide service?

Lubbock, Texas is our home base. We provide residential and commercial services across Lubbock and surrounding South Plains communities. Our Energy Specialties division serves the Permian Basin and South Plains across West Texas and Eastern New Mexico — including Midland, Odessa, Pecos, Big Spring, Andrews, Snyder, Plainview, Post, Levelland, Amarillo, Abilene, and Lea & Eddy Counties in New Mexico.

Do you service Midland and Odessa?

Yes — Midland and Odessa share one service area for our team. Our Lubbock-based crews handle Midland and Odessa on the same route. Both lawn/turf services and energy site maintenance are available.

Do you charge a travel fee for outlying areas?

Along with Lubbock, we regularly serve Levelland, Wolfforth, Ransom Canyon, Shallowater, and New Deal. Anything outside a 42-mile radius of Lubbock is subject to a travel fee — we tell you up front with your estimate, never after the work.

Pricing & Financing

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes — estimates and consultations are free for everything except pool and irrigation repairs. You can request one online at our /estimate page or call us at (806) 632-2468.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — we offer financing on Pool and Landscaping projects through Lyon Financial. Lyon specializes in outdoor-living financing and offers competitive terms. Ask your project manager for details and current financing options when you receive your estimate.

Do you offer service contracts or recurring service plans?

Yes. Most of our recurring services — landscape maintenance, turf treatments, pool maintenance, energy site maintenance — are available on annual or seasonal agreements. This typically saves money vs. ad-hoc service and ensures priority scheduling.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, check, and credit card.

How much do your services cost?

Recurring plans start at $388/month for landscape maintenance, $317/month for pool maintenance, and $37/month for turf treatments. Final pricing depends on property size, scope, and frequency — estimates are free, so you will have an exact number before any work begins.

Process & Timing

How do I schedule service?

Three options: (1) Request a free estimate at our online form, (2) call us at (806) 632-2468, or (3) email [email protected]. For ongoing service contracts, your dedicated project manager will coordinate scheduling.

How quickly can you start?

Typical lead times: pool maintenance starts the following week; landscape maintenance, turf, and energy services within about two weeks; Christmas lighting about two weeks during the season; irrigation and enhancement projects within about four weeks. Hydromulching depends on the planting season, usually two to four weeks.

What happens if it rains the day of my service?

West Texas weather happens. If rain delays or reschedules your visit, we notify you — you are never left wondering whether we are coming.

Will you call before arriving?

On recurring service we come the same day every week, so you always know when to expect us — that consistency is why we do not need to call ahead. If anything changes, we let you know in advance.

Quality & Trust

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Mission Service Companies is fully licensed and insured for all the services we provide, including specialized licenses for irrigation, pool construction, and Texas/New Mexico vegetation management.

How long has Mission Service Companies been in business?

Mission Service Companies was founded in 2016. We've grown from a single truck and one vision to a vertically-integrated team of 50+ people serving across six divisions.

What customers say about Mission?

We currently hold a 4.7-star average across 91+ Google reviews. We respond to every review.

What sets Mission Service Companies apart?

Three things: (1) Vertically integrated — six divisions, one team, one call. We're not subcontracting your project to other companies. (2) Christ-centered, quality-driven values guide every project. (3) Local. We live and work in Lubbock — we're accountable to our neighbors.

What's your service guarantee or warranty?

One year on labor and one year on materials. Living materials — plants, sod, and other plantings — carry a 30 to 60 day warranty.

Landscape & Maintenance

Lawn maintenance, bed care, seasonal cleanups, and Christmas lighting.

What's included in a standard maintenance contract?

Standard landscape maintenance agreements run 12 months, with weekly mowing through the growing season. Your estimate spells out everything included for your property.

How often do you mow?

Weekly through the growing season on our standard maintenance plans.

What planting zone is Lubbock, Texas?

Lubbock sits in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b. That zone shapes what thrives here, which is why we lean on drought-tolerant, heat-hardy plantings that hold up through West Texas summers and winter cold snaps.

Do you do hydroseeding and hydromulching?

Exteriors & Outdoor Construction

Hardscape, retaining walls, fire features, pergolas, artificial turf, design.

Patios, walkways, retaining walls, pergolas, fire features, stone work, artificial turf, and full backyard design-build. All in-house — design, excavation, and installation are one team.

Energy Specialties

Vegetation management, bare-ground sterilant, ROW clearing, hydromulching, erosion control for oilfield, solar, and industrial sites across the Permian Basin.

What's bare ground sterilant?

Bare ground sterilant is a total vegetation control treatment — a kill-all that keeps an area clear of growth rather than targeting individual weeds. We use it on caliche, fence lines, yards, and oilfield sites. Treatments are warrantied through December 31 of the year they are applied.

Do you maintain pipeline ROW?

Yes. Right-of-way maintenance is a core part of our Energy Specialties services across the Permian Basin and South Plains, including pipeline corridors, fence lines, lease pads, and facility yards.

Pool Solutions

Custom gunite pool construction, renovations, weekly maintenance, repairs.

Do you build custom pools?

Yes. We build custom gunite pools through our Classic Pools acquisition — 30+ years of experience. Design through completion is one contractor: design, excavation, plumbing, electrical, decking, and surrounding landscape. We target an 8-12 week build timeline.

How much does a pool cost in Lubbock?

Most of our custom gunite pools land between $80,000 and $105,000. A small pool starts around $67,000, a medium pool runs about $92,000, and large pools with a spa, decking, and outdoor living run $127,000 and up. Every pool is priced from a free on-site design consultation with clear, line-item pricing.

Read the full pool cost guide
