Answers to Common Questions About Sustainable Garden Care
We take a sustainable, chemical-free approach to garden care. That means no synthetic fertilizers or herbicide sprays, and no loud gas-powered machines. Instead, we use electric tools and manual hands-on labor to nurture your soil, support pollinators and wildlife habitat, and maintain a beautiful, low-impact landscape that aligns with your environmental values.
We serve both residential and commercial clients throughout St. Paul and the Twin Cities metro. Our sweet spot is small to medium residential yards with perennial gardens, and commercial properties that prioritize sustainability. We’re not the right fit for large (+1 acre) turfgrass only properties or clients seeking conventional fertilize, spray and "mow and blow" lawn services.
We customize each plan to your space, goals, and budget. Services can include chemical-free weed and invasive plant control, electric lawn mowing, seasonal cleanups, pruning, mulching and edging, and other ongoing support. During your consultation, we’ll review what your landscape needs and recommend the best mix of services.
We offer both. Some clients hire us for seasonal cleanups in spring or fall, while others enroll in monthly or more frequent seasonal maintenance plans. We’re happy to discuss what works best for your garden and your schedule.
We start with a $55 on-site consultation for maintenance projects–credited back to you when our work begins. This initial visit allows us to evaluate your space, discuss your goals in detail and recommend a plan and precise cost estimate. Ongoing maintenance pricing depends on your garden/property size, service frequency, and specific needs, but most clients invest between $90–$300 per visit. We’ll provide a clear, written quote before any work begins.
We avoid the use of synthetic chemicals, which means your garden will be safe for pollinators, pets, your family and neighbors.
Absolutely. One of our goals is to design and maintain low-maintenance native plant gardens that are adapted to thrive in your landscape and look great all season long. We can help you transition from high-maintenance demanding turfgrass to more sustainable, lower-maintenance landscaping solutions.
No, although we are happy to chat with you at any time during our visits! Once we’ve completed the consultation and agreed on a maintenance plan, we can take care of your garden whether your home, at work or away. We’ll keep you updated and communicate proactively so you’re always in the loop.
That’s where our Open Space Satisfaction Promise comes in. If something doesn’t meet your expectations, let us know and we’ll make it right, usually within one or two business days.
