Garden Care

It is by offering gardening services that we can truly develop a landscape.  As years go by gardens establish themselves and fill in.  Pockets of shade develop under the canopies of larger trees and shrubs, changes to the soil microbe community create new opportunities, and human interaction informs adjustments.  It is our ultimate pleasure to design a landscape, install it, and continue to care for it throughout its lifetime.

As a garden grows we can help it take shape through pruning and shaping trees and shrubs, amending soil with natural fertilizers and humics, diagnosing and treating pests and disease, pulling weeds, cleaning up leaves, designing and installing annuals and container gardens, and much more.  We service gardens on a biweekly basis, and we offer weekly lawn-mowing services to our gardening clients. By personalizing our relationship with you, we hope to help you personalize your relationship to your garden.  Gardens are, for many of us, our central connection with nature.  They inform us of the natural world, and share both its beauty and its bounty.  A gardener’s job is to nurture this connection as much as it is to nurture the garden itself.  We love sharing what we’ve learned.  We can help show you the beauty that exists in your own backyard, help inform your own participation in it, while taking care of as much of the heavy lifting as you would like us to.

Lawn Care

We do offer basic lawn care services for our gardening clients.  We mow and trim lawns on a weekly basis, and can apply organic fertilizer in the Spring and Fall.  We also take care of basic tasks such as power-raking, aerating, and edging.
