Garden Maintenance Designed for Long-Term Health


A well-maintained garden adds value to your home, creates a peaceful environment, and reflects your pride of ownership. But it takes more than just occasional watering or weekend pruning. That’s where we come in.

Our maintenance plans are flexible, and we’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits your needs—whether that’s weekly, biweekly, or monthly.

Pruning and Seasonal Cleanups

Healthy plants need regular shaping and strategic cuts to encourage growth. We prune with purpose, not just aesthetics, focusing on:

  • Flowering shrubs and hedges
  • Fruit trees and small ornamentals
  • Removing dead or diseased branches
  • Clearing space for light and airflow

During spring and fall, we also offer seasonal cleanups—perfect for refreshing your garden after months of growth or preparing it for winter.

Fertilizing and Soil Nutrition

Good soil is the foundation of every thriving garden. Our fertilization plans are customized to your soil type, plant variety, and climate conditions.

We use eco-friendly, organic-based fertilizers and focus on sustainable soil enrichment through:

  • Mulching and composting
  • Slow-release nutrients
  • pH balancing
  • Root zone feeding

Whether you're looking to boost growth, correct deficiencies, or recover a tired yard, we’ll build a feeding strategy that works.

If your garden feels outdated, overgrown, or just “not you,” we offer thoughtful redesign services to bring it back to life. Without the need for heavy construction or concrete, we can refresh your landscape using:

New plant layouts

Low-maintenance garden planning

  • Visual inspections and diagnosis
  • Organic insect treatments
  • Disease management
  • Soil moisture and drainage checks

We believe in preventative care and early intervention to stop problems before they spread.
