We believe that honesty is the best policy and we are happy to provide whatever is necessary in order for you to feel knowledgeable about our recommended work. We maintain standards, certifications, licenses and insurances to provide safety for you and for our working team.
Our Philosophy: The Earth is in all of our hands.
Through honest, educated and exemplary state-of-the-art plant care practices, our goal is to improve the quality of life for both you and our society, today and for generations to come. It is important to be in touch with the world of nature – it is healing and nurturing.
We take pride in being conscientious, ecological, economical, professional and holistic. Through certification processes, our educational backgrounds and practical experiences, we are ready, willing and able to provide professional plant care.
When working on your valuable property, we assure that a certified and/or a qualified, educated and experienced arborist will perform the technical arboriculture. And when we landscape, we listen to you to understand your aspirations – then we plan, design, and install landscapes that will mature responsibly.
We want our work to be a source of joy, not just practicality or aesthetics. We know that the time you gather with family and friends is very valuable. We invite you to spend it in your garden, backyard or newly landscaped parts of your property experiencing the power of the natural world. We hope you will experience simple joys such going out in the morning to pick berries from your own berry bushes to bake pancakes or to put in your cereal. Or to bring fresh flowers in from your perennial beds. These kinds of moments connect you to the Earth, and make memories for the rest of your life.
We listen to the heart and act for the Earth.
