Garden Enhancements

Is the size of your project and/or your budget on the modest side? If you’re not interested in full scale landscape design/build work, our Maintenance team can help you with projects like sheet mulching and lawn conversions, installation of gravel pathways and patios, dry stack walls, irrigation augmentation, planting and more.

Renewal & Restoration

A cleanup can help put your garden back in order. We can work with you to determine what can be restored, what should be removed, and what can be added to give your garden a fresh start.

Are trees or other plants in your garden crowding or obscuring important views? Are there areas that make spaces feel too confined or squeezed? Are pathways blocked by overgrown plants? By clearing obstructed views, overgrown pathways, and other crowded areas, we can free up spaces, creating flow and ease of movement in the garden.

Gradual Landscape Conversion

Interested in reducing water use by changing your turf areas into drought-tolerant garden beds? We can convert water hungry and high maintenance areas in the garden to spaces requiring less maintenance and water consumption. We focus on planting the right plant in the right place, with attractive selections that don’t rely on constant fertilizing, pruning, herbicides, pesticides, or other high maintenance techniques to keep them looking healthy.

Seasonal Pruning

Do you have a garden with plants, shrubs and trees that need to be “winterized” each year? We focus on creating eye-pleasing winter silhouettes with small trees and shrubs so that your garden looks beautiful year-round. We take advantage of the winter months to set the garden up for a glorious spring and summer.

Mulch Application

Mulch is essential for a healthy garden. We use it to help conserve water, suppress weeds, help reduce soil erosion, and add nutrients and organic matter to soils. Call on us to mulch your garden beds, or unpaved patios and pathways.

Healthy Environmental Techniques

We are organic gardeners and only use OMRI approved pest and disease control products in the garden. We focus on building healthy soils, practice IPM, and use organic fertilizers for non-native plants. Our overall goal is to support habitat and increase biodiversity while providing our clients with functional and delightful outdoor spaces.
