A: The price includes two gardeners working together, billed as one hourly rate.

Q: What if the work takes less than an hour?
A: The minimum billing is one hour.

Q: Can I add tasks during the visit?
A: Yes — as long as it fits within the scheduled time and is safe for our team to perform.

Q: Do you take away the debris?
A: Debris is bagged and left curbside unless hauling is arranged separately.

Locally tuned plant selection

We visit nurseries and orchards across California and only bring in trees that perform well in Bay Area microclimates — from foggy Daly City to hot Tri-Valley backyards.

From nursery to your yard, not a warehouse

Your trees travel through our own distribution base, not a random freight network. That means better handling, fewer broken branches, and plants that arrive ready to thrive.
