Do you take credit cards or installment payments?

Yes, we take all forms of payment, including major credit cards. We can also arrange payments in installments, according to a pre-arranged service schedule.

Is a deposit required?

Very rarely do we ever ask for a deposit, and we never ask for credit card information (except if you request to pay by credit card once a project is completed.) Deposits may be required for projects involving significant initial plant and material costs, such as major deliveries of soil.

Will my yard then be free of weeds and pests?

Sorry! No matter what you do - including detailed weeding (which we do by hand, not by using herbicides) - you can be guaranteed that weeds will return, to one extent or another. Even with xeriscaping that uses rocks and landscape fabric, soil will still accumulate over time (as on a dusty day, or bits of leaves composting in the fall and spring) and seeds will also blow in. Voila! Weeds. As for pests, we will be happy to provide recommendations, based on the best practices of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Do you use subcontractors?

We are not arborists who cut down or prune large trees, or "hardscaping" landscapers who use skid-steers, etc. We also, generally, leave lawns to the lawn companies. If we feel comfortable in doing so, we will recommend other companies who provide the services we do not. We will then ask you to work with these firms independently.
