On-Site Nursery Consultation

Expert advice where the plants are.

Meet me at the nursery — or at your home — to choose plants the right way. I translate what a plant tag actually means, point out species that will thrive in your conditions, and help you skip the ones that won't.

What’s Included

  • Walk-the-nursery or walk-the-yard sessions
  • Plant identification and selection guidance
  • Cultivar-level recommendations
  • Honest advice on what to pass over
  • Care notes for every plant you bring home

Landscape Health Assessment

A diagnosis your landscape can actually use.

When something isn't thriving, I walk the property and figure out why. From compacted soil to drainage issues to pests you can't see, I identify the root cause and give you a written plan to bring the space back to life.

What’s Included

  • Whole-property walkthrough and inspection
  • Soil composition and drainage check
  • Plant-health diagnosis and triage
  • Pest, disease, and stress identification
  • Written recovery plan with prioritized next steps

Best For

Tired turf, struggling beds, mystery plant decline.

  • Raised-bed and in-ground vegetable layouts
  • Herb spirals and culinary plantings
  • Fruit-tree placement and care plans
  • Companion planting and succession schedules

Specialty Pruning

The right cut, at the right time.

Structural pruning shapes a plant for the next ten years, not just the next photo. I prune fruit trees, ornamentals, and overgrown shrubs for vigor, form, and long-term health — and I'll teach you how to keep it up.

What’s Included

  • Structural pruning for young trees
  • Restorative pruning for neglected shrubs
  • Fruit-tree shaping for production
  • Ornamental and hedge trimming
  • A pruning calendar tailored to your plants

Best For

Established yards, fruit trees, and anything that's grown a little out of hand.

Seasonal Maintenance Plans

A year-long rhythm your garden can rely on.

A clear, season-by-season plan so nothing gets missed — and so your time outdoors is spent enjoying the garden, not playing catch-up. I map the year, set the rhythm, and stay available as questions come up.

What’s Included

  • Spring planting and emergence checks
  • Summer water and growth monitoring
  • Fall bed prep, amendment, and clean-up
  • Winter pruning windows and dormancy notes
  • Seasonal mulch, feeding, and care schedule

Best For

Owners who want a healthy garden without making it a full-time job.
