Owner-operated garden care for homes that deserve more than a mow-and-blow crew. Every plant is hand-pruned to keep its natural form, and every visit ends with a photo report.

Power hedge trimmers cut every tip at once. The plant answers with a thick layer of growth on the outside and bare, shaded wood underneath, so it needs cutting again and again.
Selective hand-pruning removes whole branches at the right point instead. Light reaches the interior, the plant keeps its natural shape, and it needs far less cutting over time. SLOscapes never uses power hedge trimmers.

Both plans include two visits a month, scaled to your property and priced after a free assessment.
For owners who want their garden kept at its best, as it is now.
For owners who want the landscape to keep improving as it matures.
For owners who aren't there full-time and want to know the property is fine.
No plan required. Each project is quoted after a free look at the property.
Catch basins, channel drains, and downspout lines cleared and tested before the rains.
An old controller swapped for a weather-aware smart timer, set up zone by zone.
Leaks, clogged emitters, and broken heads found and fixed.
Sheared shrubs brought back toward their natural form, at the pace each plant can handle.
Fruit trees, Japanese maples, topiary, and espalier.
Entry and outdoor spaces readied before guests, an event, or a showing.
Projects start at $150. If you join a plan within 30 days, up to $150 of your first project is credited toward your first month.
I'll look at the property with you, recommend the right plan or project, and give you a clear written price. No obligation. SLOscapes is owner-operated and takes on a limited number of properties.
