What this is — and isn't

Small company, on purpose

Katherine oversees the work herself — project-managing every job and doing portions of it hands-on. The person you talk to is the person responsible for what happens in your garden.

✕ Not a crew dispatching service

Transparent billing

Labor is $95/hr. Materials are quoted and marked up separately — we'll tell you the rate before any work begins. No line item hidden anywhere.

✕ Not a fixed-price quote that hides margin

Houston residential, that's it

Memorial, River Oaks, West University, Garden Oaks, Spring Branch, Tanglewood, and the Heights. Homes where the garden matters. No commercial, no HOA contracts, no volume work.

✕ Not a general lawn maintenance company

A deposit before we schedule

50% down, cash or check (card accepted). This keeps our calendar real and protects both sides. No deposit, no date on the books.

✕ Not "we'll fit you in"

What we do

Garden Management

Ongoing care for gardens that are already established. The work gets done before you notice it needs doing.

Landscape Design

New gardens, and gardens starting over. Designed around what Houston will actually let you grow.

Garden Restoration & Improvements

Bringing a property back into shape, then improving it as it evolves. Most gardens don't need replacing. They need attention.

Water Management and Irrigation

Where the water goes, and what the plants get. Repairs, improvements, and systems sized to the planting rather than the other way around.

Consultation

An experienced eye and a straight answer. Sometimes that's the whole job.

Seasonal Color & Holiday Displays

Containers, beds, and the front of the house, changed as the year turns. In quantity that justifies itself.

$95 / hr labor Materials are quoted and marked up separately — you'll see the full numbers in your written proposal before any work begins. If scope changes, we call you first.

How it works

You reach out

A quick call or message. We ask about your space, goals, and timing. No commitment yet.

Site visit & proposal

Katherine visits and sends a written proposal — scope, estimated hours, and materials quote. Plain language.

Deposit to confirm

If it looks right to you, a 50% deposit holds your date. That's when we're both committed.

The work

Careful, unhurried. Final invoice for actual hours and materials — usually right at or under estimate.
