We offer 6 comprehensive maintenance service visits that are carefully curated for each season to ensure your garden not only survives but thrives in all its glory.
No contracts, cancel anytime - simply pay after each service is completed.
1. Spring Service
(March or April)
Kickoff the season with a refreshing rejuvenation process. Our team meticulously clears away the remnants of winter, ensuring no leaves and other organic debris linger in garden beds and neighboring lawn and hardscape areas. Pruning takes center stage, with specific attention to trees and shrubs that will bloom later in the season. We kickstart the fertilization process with the first round of slow-release organic plant fertilizers. Spring is also a great time for additional planting. To add the finishing touch, we sharpen and define garden bed edges and apply a fresh layer of mulch.
2. Early Summer Service
(May or June)
As summer approaches, our focus shifts to the careful trimming and pruning of trees and shrubs that have completed blooming. Trimming now is crucial so as to preserve next spring's blooms. With the spring rains behind us and summer heat setting in, we address the inevitable surge in weed growth. We also begin fertilizing plants that benefit from more frequent feeding.
3. Midsummer Service
(July or August)
Midsummer demands continued attention to detail. Bed edges are kept sharp and thorough manual weeding continues to maintain a pristine appearance of your garden. We trim and prune the more vigorous-growing shrubs and creeping plants as needed, ensuring they remain well-contained. Heavy-feeding plants receive fertilization and our vigilant team monitors for any signs of plant diseases or pest issues and implements appropriate treatments.
4. Late Summer Service
(August or September)
As the growing season reaches its zenith, we intensify our efforts. We persist in weeding and cutting back any vegetation that threatens to exceed bounds. It's time to apply the second and final round of slow-release organic plant fertilizer. Some trees may show signs of drying up and begin to drop leaves, which we collect from all beds and surrounding hardscape areas. Evergreen plants receive a final trim to set their shape for the remainder of the season. Now is a great time to do any planning for fall planting.
5. Fall Service
(October, November or December)
With the arrival of fall, the landscape undergoes a transformation. Our team initiates a first round of leaf collection and disposal, ensuring garden beds and surrounding areas remain pristine. Certain species of trees and shrubs are trimmed or pruned as they prepare to go dormant. Some perennial vegetation may be cut back or left intact, providing essential food and shelter for birds and beneficial insects during the upcoming winter months. Fall also presents an excellent opportunity for tree and shrub planting, capitalizing on the cooler, wetter conditions, and long before the return of summer heat and drought.
5. Winter Service
(December, January or February)
Winter heralds a different set of tasks. This service includes a second round of leaf cleanup, the cutting back of dead vegetation from herbaceous perennials and maintaining a clean and tidy appearance. This season is optimal for trimming or pruning evergreen species and deciduous trees, as they are in dormancy. Winter also provides the ideal time for spring planning. Unwanted or overgrown shrubs, along with invasive species, can be removed, creating valuable space for upcoming spring planting.
