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

River Oaks, Tanglewood, Memorial, West University. 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"

$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

01

You reach out

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

02

Site visit & proposal

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

03

Deposit to confirm

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

04

The work

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

Is this a fit?

Probably not for you if…

✕ You need someone out this week
✕ You want the cheapest bid in the pile
✕ You prefer a fixed price, no variables
✕ You want weekly mowing and edging

Probably a good fit if…

✓ You want someone who'll actually listen
✓ You've had bad experiences with large crews
✓ Your garden is a priority, not an afterthought
✓ Transparency on cost matters more than a low number
