professionally gardening since 1996, i deeply enjoy designing and installing new landscapes, as well as recovering and revamping existing grounds.

my experience: i studied in michigan state university’s horticulture and landscape design program, founded and managed two garden design businesses, served as groundskeeper for a boutique winery near olympia, washington while in school at the evergreen state college, and worked at the always glorious portland nursery on stark.

i am currently based in portland and will travel nearly anywhere in the city to beautify your garden. for properties outside of pdx, there may be an added, agreed-upon travel charge.

i offer basic fall/winter clean-up (leaf removal, weeding, cutting back herbaceous perennials) at $60/hour with a 2 hour minimum.

for larger-scale, multi-day projects, we begin with an hour consultation on-site at $60. during this meeting, i will offer many ideas and tips for your landscape that are yours to keep! within 3 days, i will send you a tiered-level project proposal and estimate. once we iron out the scope of work, i’ll send over a contract, take a deposit, and begin the work. final payment is due within 3 days of project completion.

i am friendly, knowledgable, and honest. i hope to dig into your garden soon!
