Trim the hedge
Two summers of growth, off in one pass.
Yard Studio: Swap the plants. Keep the yard you love.
Pick a tree, the shrubs and what goes by the door, then see it all together before anyone digs.

- By the front doorSpiral topiariesSun or part shade. In urns. A formal welcome. Evergreens in pots need steady water and a sheltered winter.

An illustration on a made up house, not a plan or a quote. Sizes are typical, and what suits your yard depends on its light and soil, which Jake will go through with you when he walks it.
Then what
From a picture to a real yard.
Play with it here
Mix and match until something looks right, and do not worry about the plant names. That part is on us.
Send it to Jake
One tap puts your picks in an estimate request, so he knows what caught your eye before he comes out.
He walks your yard
Jake looks at your light, soil and space and tells you what will work there, what will not, and what he would do instead.
More to try
Three jobs you can do with one finger.
Drag across each picture. We take a little longer, but this is the result.
Wash the pavers
See what years of grime and moss were hiding.
Clear the leaves
A fall cleanup, minus the rake.
These are illustrations, not photos of our jobs.
