Landscape Maintenance Services
Your garden changes with the seasons, and so should its care. Our maintenance approach is rooted in horticultural best practices, guided by ecological insight, and delivered with the care of a personal gardener. Here’s what we offer throughout the year:
Seasons at-a-glance:
Dormant Pruning (Late Winter / Early Spring)

Thoughtful, structural pruning to rejuvenate small trees and shrubs. We reduce height, improve form, and allow light into the plant’s interior to support healthy growth, reduce disease risk, and prevent summer pruning stress.

Spring Cleanup (Early Spring)

Prepare your garden for a fresh start with a 3” vertical bed edge, removal of winter weeds and debris, perennial cutbacks, light shaping and pruning, plus a full mow, edge, trim, and debris clearing.

Dark Brown Bark Mulch

Finely ground, compost-rich, and locally sourced. This all-natural mulch enhances soil structure, feeds your plants, retains moisture, and suppresses weeds — all while creating a rich, polished garden appearance.

Sheet Mulching

An organic technique to suppress persistent, invasive weeds without chemicals—ideal for reclaiming or refreshing neglected beds.

Electric Mowing (Spring – Fall)

Quiet, clean, and emissions-free. Our electric mowers keep your lawn tidy while respecting your peace and the planet.

Weeding (Spring – Fall)

Hand weeding, line trimming, and careful use of organic weed control methods. Our gardeners use a diversity of tools and techniques to keep planting beds, hardscape, and pathways free of unwanted growth.

Mid-Season Pruning (June – August)

A light touch to refine structure, control summer growth, and maintain the natural form of your shrubs and small trees.

Mid-Season Refresh (July – August)

We rake beds, re-cut edges, refresh mulch, and detail your garden with precision deadheading, shaping, and weeding—restoring order and beauty in the height of the growing season.

Fall Cleanup (November)

A comprehensive seasonal reset: perennial cutbacks, deadheading, leaf removal, and final mow, edge, and trim to prepare your garden for dormancy.

Final Sweep (Late November – Early December)

One last pass before winter sets in—clearing remaining leaves and debris, cutting back late-season perennials, and tidying for the cold months ahead.

Winter Prep

Protect your landscape from freeze and wind damage. We compost tender plants, apply anti-desiccants to evergreens, remove hoses, insulate spigots, and clear gutters (up to 20 ft)—ensuring your garden is tucked in safely for winter.

Tailored to Your Garden’s Rhythm
Every garden has its own pace, and every homeowner has their own vision. That's why we offer flexible maintenance programs—weekly, biweekly, or monthly—designed around how you live with your landscape.

Choose comprehensive lawn and garden care for complete peace of mind, or focus solely on garden maintenance if you prefer to handle the mowing yourself. Our experienced gardeners adapt their approach with each visit, reading your garden’s seasonal needs and responding with the right care at the right time.
