Maintenance 101:

Please contact us for current rates — or to schedule an initial consultation

All new clients start with an initial consultation visit to identify your priorities and assess the scope of work. Based on this visit, we come up with a plan tailored specifically for your space.

We offer:

  • One-Time Clean Outs - some clients start here before moving into a regular maintenance schedule

  • Regular Weekly or Monthly Maintenance - we will keep your garden healthy and beautiful

  • As-Needed Maintenance - perfect for gardeners who occasionally need some heavy lifting, want help tackling a specific project, or may need someone to keep an eye on things while out of town for a prolonged period of time

  • Irrigation Visits - we can audit and install your irrigation system or water your garden while you’re away

We believe that maintenance is key for all gardens. The best design can fall apart without appropriate maintenance; skilled maintenance can be transformative.


Maintenance activities include:

  • WEEDING - detailed hand-weeding

  • PRUNING - skilled pruning of specialty shrubs and small trees

  • MULCHING - general bed cleanup and application of mulch

  • IRRIGATION - audits and installation

  • INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT - identification and systematic pesticide free solutions

  • Deadheading, cutbacks, and dividing - managing healthy perennial populations for plant health and aesthetics

  • Edging or adjusting garden bed shapes

  • Adding new plants - supplementing existing populations or introducing new varieties

  • Removing or reshaping existing plants
