Our Services
True beauty takes time, and many clients hire us to prune, weed, mulch and divide their well- established plantings. For clients seeking new or restored gardens, we first come to a design. Then, we lay a foundation of vitality by conditioning the soil. Plants are dug-in in the spring or fall, and we make tweaks as things come together over years and even decades. Fine gardens are never finished; they are a dialogue between the plants and each client’s personality.
If you want a leafy, flowery and bushy vegetable harvest, we are happy to oblige. Vegetables are nutrient hogs, and drought reduces their yields almost instantly. Soil conditioning, therefore, is even more essential for vegetables than ornamentals. We also recommend (and install) automated above-ground irrigation systems for most of our clients’ vegetable gardens if a permanent irrigation system is not in place. We hate to see tomatoes desiccating.
Some turf does well with a franchised and semester-driven lawn caring strategy. For those who aren’t so lucky, put a gardener on your property. We provide solutions for discerning clients with agrestal lawns (or problem areas) under 2,000 sq feet. Effective turf cultivation is no mystery, but, like caring for any living thing that’s faltering, it often requires unique diagnostic and management strategies that don’t come in pre-packaged programs.
If you are finishing off a new build, cleaning up from a major outdoor project or abiding an existing lawn with a severe broadleaved or grassy weed infiltration (greater than 30 percent), we can help. You have a unique opportunity because culturing healthy turf is the absolute best defense against weeds. Whether you are seeding, sodding or renovating your lawn, starting (or starting over) with fertile, aerated and moist soil sets you up for success for years to come.
If you are looking for someone to plant or prune saplings, cedars, shrubs or fruit-trees, we handle these beautifully. We also perform assessments and cultural strategies for trees that are distressed. And, for our regular clients only, we have a certified arborist lined up for your tree and stump removal.
If you want help understanding your own garden or lawn, and you want to look after it yourself, we provide comprehensive on-site consultations for gardening and lawn care. This process looks differently depending on your project, and we can provide more information after receiving your inquiry.
