Garden rehabilitation. Bring your neglected garden back to life

Sometimes a garden just needs a fresh start — and that's completely okay. Whether it's overgrown, patchy, or just not working anymore, I will dig into what's not serving you, clear out what needs to go, and rebuild it into something you're genuinely proud of. We'll assess what's worth saving, what needs replacing, and what your garden actually needs to thrive again. Step by step, we'll get it looking like a million-dollar view — because it can.

Garden coaching. Think of me as your garden's best friend

We'll skip the guesswork — and the accidental plant casualties — and get straight to the good stuff. I'll help you make sense of those confusing sun labels, talk you out of over-pruning that hydrangea you love so much, and give you the real confidence to use those pruners without second-guessing yourself. Every session is live, in your garden, and completely focused on you. No silly questions here — seriously, bring your "wait, is this a weed?" What's waiting for you: a gardening friend who shows up with real, on-site help. Simple advice on where things go so things actually survive the season. And skills you'll walk away with and actually use. Can't have me over? No problem. Meet me on Google Meet and walk me through your garden on screen — straight-up, real-time advice from your own backyard, no travel fees, no fuss.

Landscape and garden maintenance. Keep your landscape beautiful all year long

A great garden doesn't stop needing attention after planting day — and that's where I come in. I handle the ongoing work so you can simply enjoy the space you've created. From spring bed cleanup and summer weeding to fall pruning and winter prep, I keep your landscape healthy, tidy, and thriving through every season. Whether you need regular visits or occasional check-ins, we'll find a rhythm that works for you.

Landscape design. A yard that finally feels like it belongs

You know that feeling when a yard just looks right? That's what we're going for. I'll help you see your outdoor space with fresh eyes — what's working, what's missing, and exactly how to pull it all together into something cohesive and beautiful. We'll talk through your style, your goals, your sun and soil conditions, and build a custom plan that makes sense for your property and your life. No cookie-cutter designs here — just a landscape that looks like it was made for you, because it was. Using a high-end digital design app, I'll create an easy-to-follow plan — including a stunning 3D design that shows you exactly what your finished garden will look like. You'll even be able to walk through your future garden virtually and zoom in on individual plants. It's an incredible way to see your vision come to life before we ever break ground. So awesome!

Perennial and annual flower design and installation. Color that comes back stronger every year

There's nothing quite like a garden that greets you every spring without you lifting a finger — and that's exactly what a well-designed perennial garden does. We'll layer in perennials that return and fill in year after year, plus annuals to keep the color vivid and full all season long. From the first tulips of spring to the last asters of fall, your beds will stay beautiful. And once they're established? They practically take care of themselves.

Native Gardening. Creating a sanctuary for birds, the bees, and beyond

I am genuinely passionate about native plants — and once you see what they do for your yard, you will be too. Native species are adapted to Wisconsin's climate, which means they're lower maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and incredibly effective at supporting local birds, butterflies, and pollinators. We'll design a native garden that feels wild and intentional at the same time — one that fits your space, fits your life, and makes your yard part of something bigger than just your property line.
