Your garden deserves a gardener, not a leaf blower.
Mow-and-blow crews keep things tidy. We keep things growing. Specialist care for citrus, avocados, stone fruit, figs, grapes, and the rest of the garden you actually eat from.
- Hand pruning timed to each tree's season
- No leaf blowers on your beds
- A photo garden log after every visit
A garden plan built around your trees
Every garden is different. Your plan follows what's growing in it.
Tell us what's growing
How many fruit trees, vines, and beds you have. Your price updates as you go.
We walk the garden
On the first visit we map every tree and vine and build your seasonal care plan.
Care on schedule
Two visits a month, each followed by a short garden log with photos and what's next.
What makes this different
Maintenance crews are built for speed across lawns. We're built for the parts of your garden that need a trained eye.
- Pruning for fruit, not just shapeCitrus, stone fruit, figs, and apples each fruit differently. We prune for next year's harvest, at the right time of year.
- Vines trained properlyGrapes spur-pruned in winter, passionfruit and kiwi kept productive, and bougainvillea kept off your roof.
- Feeding and pest watchSeasonal feeding for citrus and avocados, and an early eye on scale, aphids, and other pests common in coastal gardens.
- Water that matches the seasonWe check drip lines and emitters and adjust your controller for the season, so trees get deep, infrequent water.
- Quiet, careful workHand tools and hand weeding in beds. No blowers stripping mulch and soil from your garden.
A year in a Peninsula garden
Our coastal climate is mild, but timing still matters. Here's roughly how a care plan moves through the seasons.
Winter
- Dormant pruning for stone fruit, apples, and grapes
- Dormant oil spray where it's needed
- Bare-root planting season
Spring
- Spring feeding for citrus and avocados
- Thinning young fruit on stone fruit trees
- Training new vine growth
Summer
- Deep-watering checks during heat
- Light summer pruning to control size
- Harvest help and bird netting
Fall
- Last feeding of the year for citrus
- Clearing fallen fruit to cut down pests
- Planning winter pruning and new plantings
Specialist care, priced clearly
The care plan starts at $395 a month and covers up to six fruit trees and two vines. Larger gardens add $20 a month per extra tree and $10 per extra vine, and you see the price before you book.

Hi there,
We're a small, owner-run crew who would rather spend an hour on your citrus than ten minutes blowing leaves. When you text us, you're talking to the person who prunes your trees.
We keep a written log of every visit. Over a season or two, you'll see exactly what we did and how your trees responded.

Questions from fellow gardeners
Do you replace my regular gardener?
Either works. Some clients keep their mow-and-blow crew for the lawn and bring us in for trees, vines, and beds. Others hand us the whole garden.
Do you mow lawns?
We can tidy a small lawn as part of a care plan, but lawns aren't our focus. If you have a large lawn, keep your current crew for it.
Which fruit trees do you care for?
Citrus of every kind, avocados, figs, stone fruit like peaches and apricots, apples, pomegranates, loquats, and more. Plus grapes, passionfruit, kiwi, and ornamental vines.
When should my trees be pruned?
It depends on the tree. Stone fruit and apples are best pruned in winter while dormant. Citrus and avocados get a light prune after harvest. Your care plan handles the timing.
Can you help a tree that isn't fruiting?
Often, yes. Poor fruiting usually comes down to pruning timing, water, feeding, or pollination. Start with a free garden walk and we'll take a look.
How does payment work?
Garden walks are free. Care plans need a card on file to hold your spot, and we bill monthly after your visits. Pruning visits take a 50% deposit, and the balance is due after the work. No long contracts.
