How we Work
Our approach to exterior care is rooted in respect for the land, the people who use it, and the ecosystems that support it. We do not follow conventional, chemical-heavy landscape practices.
We avoid synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, prioritizing responsible methods that protect soil health, water systems, and long-term plant vitality. When inputs are needed, we work with trusted local nurseries and use OMRI-listed products, including organic mulches, soil inoculants, and full-spectrum organic fertilizers—applied thoughtfully and only when necessary.
As a local, quality-first company, we focus on doing the work properly, using simple, proven solutions that support resilient landscapes over time.
When a project extends beyond ongoing care, we coordinate through Habanero Projects to ensure clear scope and planning.
We begin with a conversation and site review to understand your property and priorities. From there, we recommend appropriate services and deliver care through scheduled visits or seasonal support—always with clear communication and attention to detail.
