7. How do I get a quote for your services?

It depends on the service!

For fine gardening services (like planting, pruning, weeding, and maintenance), we work and charge by the hour per gardener we have on your project.

We’re happy to work within your budget—if you have a specific amount you’d like to stay under (e.g., $300), we’ll plan our time accordingly to ensure we don’t exceed it. While we can’t guarantee that everything on your list will be completed within the budget, we’ll absolutely prioritize your most important tasks and do our best to make the most of your time!

For porch design and garden design, we offer packages starting at various price ranges. During a consultation, we can discuss your needs and recommend the best package for your project.

To get started, simply schedule a consultation, and we’ll provide all the details!

------------

8. Do you work with specific types of plants or gardens?

We work with a wide variety of plants, from flowers and shrubs to vegetables and herbs. Whether you have a formal garden, a wildflower meadow, or something in between, we’ve got you covered!

------------

9. Do you provide mulch, plants, or other materials?

Clients are responsible for providing their own materials, such as mulch, compost, manure, fertilizer, pre-emergent, critter repellent, decor, or plants that need to be planted.

We provide the labor to get the job done! However, we’re happy to make recommendations for products and where to find them. We also offer shopping assistance for plants (including flower choices!) and decor to help you find exactly what you need for your garden. Just let us know how we can help during your consultation or appointment!

------------

10. What kind of edging do you do?

We use professional edging tools to create clean, defined edges along your garden beds, walkways, and other landscaped areas. This type of edging gives your garden a polished, well-maintained look by separating the lawn from the beds and preventing grass from creeping into your garden.

Please note: We focus on functional edging and do not offer hardscaping services (like installing stone, metal, or plastic borders). However, we’re happy to recommend Landscapers that do offer those services if you’re interested in more permanent edging solutions!
