Experience is key

With over 40 years of experience in the agriculture and horticultural industries I bring many appropriate skills to any job and can answer many of the questions you might have. I have worked as a landscaper both big and small properties, farmer of flowers, vegetables and animals, environmental planner with the conservation districts and the USDA among other paths.  If you are curious there are more details on my background and philosophy in the About section.  

All these routes create a well-rounded competent advisor. I am not a landscape designer but provide a unique perspective in garden design. I offer a better alternative that will integrate the soil, plants, climate, weather, sun and water to create a sustainable yard. It is a team effort. You have ideas and thoughts, and I will help bring them to life. 

 

Introduction

Today is the day! Time to grow your own food.  Foodscaping is the next big thing! Growing your own food has benefits beyond freshness. It is healthier and full of nutrients. You know where it came from and what you added to it. Today there are food recalls for carrots, tomatoes and even apples. You won't have that problem. It will even save you money! Your landscape should be more than just grass, shrubs and annual plants. It should be a place that you can enjoy and be proud of. A place that enhances the environment and still adds beauty to your space. It should also be a productive space.

Our Services

Site evaluation: It is important for the gardener to have a clear understanding of site to be utilized. I can do the groundwork to improve the site or suggest the best uses for the area.

Plant Selection: In my experience it is important for plants to thrive you need to take all of the factors of growth into account. I will evaluate the locations and recommend the correct plant materials for it.

Garden Placement:  I can also help you set up the vegetable garden you've always wanted. Whether you want a simple vegetable garden, raised beds or other type of garden we can do it together. If you can dream it, it can be done. 

Maintenance:  Proper care will be needed to maintain your garden throughout the season. Watering, fertilizing, weeding, disease control are all part of keeping your garden healthy. I will be there with you to insure a hardy harvest.

General issues: There are times when you have questions that needs to be answered. When walking the property you see a weed/plant that doesn’t look quite right or you want an upgrade but not sure on what to do.  That is the time to ask a pro with the knowledge gained from years of practice. It can be incorporated into the plan we will create together.
