Yard Assessments and Recommendations
What horticultural advantages and challenges does your property have? What plants – including trees and shrubs – are in your yard? What should you consider before changing your landscape, and how should you go about it? What should you keep? What could be planted, and where?
Scheduled Maintenance
Want to enjoy all your yard has to offer, without all the work that a yard can demand? We can set up a regular schedule that allows you to determine what you would like done, within the budget range you have in mind. For many of our clients, it's simply a matter of, "This is what I want to spend each month over the summer, just go ahead and do what you do best within that budget." Done! We also can help out during the short term, such as those times when you're on vacation, or unable to do the work yourself, for whatever reason.
Landscaping Ideas
Do you want an inspiring ornamental garden, a food-producing garden, or a combination of the two? What about winterscaping to create an interesting view from your window, regardless of the season? Although we do not do "hardscaping" (e.g., stonework, outdoor kitchens, etc.) we are happy to provide you with suggestions as to what might be best for your personal space.
Raised Beds
Raised beds offer many advantages including an easy way to adopt a "no-till" gardening practice, along with better use of water, and the ability to grow plants in areas where the existing terrain is unsuitable. We can custom-make beds to your specifications.
Xeriscaping and Rain Gardens
You don’t need a large budget or be an avid gardener to create a personal space that is at once enjoyable and relatively worry-free – as well as less expensive to maintain and helpful to the environment through water conservation and other beneficial practices.
