Personalized, Customized Service for Your Gardening Needs
Bespoke Gardening strives to work with fewer clients, more intensively. Since we provide personalized, customized service rather than a cooky cutter menu of options. We have included below some examples of services we can provide. Contact us if you have requests that you don’t see in this list of examples.
Seasonal Care
We strive to work with fewer clients, more intensively. This approach allows us to get to know your garden well, provide a personalized and responsive approach, focus on quality garden and landscape care, and thoroughly consider any conditions, problems or issues that come to light. We are practiced at working in collaboration with other service providers. Holiday Plantings & Decoration
Evergreen container plantings, lighting/garlands/wreath decoration for doors and entries. Landscape Strategy
A consultation to work together to clarify your landscape goals and priorities for the landscape, and look at the maintenance strategies for reaching those goals. Examples: privacy, eco friendly approach, less noise, simplified care... |
Renewal & Hand Pruning
Knowledgeable pruning can make a clear difference in landscape appearance and health. We will work with unmaintained plantings or repeatedly over-sheared shrubs to return them to their best natural form. Once problems have been corrected, pruned (not sheared) shrubs often take fewer care visits than shrubs that are repeatedly cut back. Pre-Event Detailing
Tweaking the pruning and planting fresh containers in advance of an event. Please schedule well in advance. Native and Pollinator PlantsAre you interested in expanding the value of your landscape to birds and pollinators?

Before hiring the service providers for a new landscape, it can help to have a consultation about the plants and condition of the landscape and its systems, key priorities, and any recommended order to execute them. |
Thoughts on Gardens and Garden Care...
The natural process of gardens is not unlike that of people: they grow, they develop, and their expressions change, yet within the face of a person one has not seen in years, an old friend can still recognize the child they knew in kindergarten.
If you have discovered that your garden's original vision gradually has become lost in translation, or if the glory of the original design faded at some point after installation, take heart. Gardens astray often can be guided back to their inspired characteristic expression.
If this elixir of what makes a garden special is to be preserved, sustained and matured, intentionality and regular care are of paramount importance. From the outset of creating a garden or landscape, seek out care from people who can understand and appreciate the plants, your property's unique characteristics, and your goals. Not everyone prunes, clips, or tends gardens in the same way, and not everyone produces the same results. If your garden is well cared for, respect and cherish those who care for it! If things are almost right, communicate and try to get the straying details attended to as you wish. If it is clear to you that your garden care doesn't match your garden goals, or certain plants require a different approach to their care, then perhaps we should talk.
