Seasonal maintenance that keeps your garden healthy, sharp, and thriving year after year, by someone who actually knows plants, not just how to run a mower.
Request a ConsultationMost landscape maintenance is done by crews who don't know the difference between a perennial that should be cut back in spring and one that should be left for winter interest. They show up with blowers and trimmers and treat every plant the same way. The result is gardens that look tidied rather than cared for, and plants that struggle because they're being managed incorrectly year after year.
Aaron's maintenance approach is different because it starts with knowledge of what's actually growing in your beds - how the plants behave through the seasons, when they should be divided, what's encroaching on what, and which problems are worth addressing early before they become larger issues. A spring cleanup that's done correctly sets your garden up well for the whole season. A fall cleanup done correctly protects your plants over winter and reduces spring work significantly.
Maintenance is offered on a seasonal or ongoing basis for existing clients and for gardens Aaron has not designed. This is horticultural care for designed gardens: pruning, dividing, seasonal cleanups, plant health and bed management. It is not lawn mowing or general yard work, and we don’t offer those separately. If you have a landscape you value and want to keep it at its best, reach out to discuss what that would look like for your specific situation.

Common Questions
We maintain the gardens we build. A designed garden needs pruning, editing and seasonal care to keep looking the way it was intended. A mow-and-blow crew will keep it tidy but won't keep it right. Aaron's team knows what each planting was meant to become.
Spring cutback and cleanup, bed edging, seasonal pruning at the right time for each plant, weeding through the growing season, and a fall cleanup that leaves the right things standing for winter interest and pollinators. Frequency depends on the garden.
It varies by plant and getting it wrong costs you a year of bloom. Spring-flowering shrubs are pruned right after they flower, because they set next year's buds in summer. Summer bloomers are cut in late winter. Japanese maples and structural conifers are shaped in dormancy.
Yes, and often we do. It usually starts with an assessment, what's healthy, what's in the wrong place, what needs correcting before regular care makes sense. Sometimes a season of remedial work comes first.
