You are new to Vashon, and have lots of questions about what is growing on your property, how to care for it, and how to minimize the time/cost of maintenance.

 

Your shrubs are hanging over your walkway, or blocking your views out your windows, and you are not sure how to prune them so they will look good AND be out of the way.

Your shrubs and small trees have gotten too tall or wide for their allotted space, and are crowding out other plants.

​

Your fruit trees aren't doing well. Vertical watersprouts, crossing branches, dead branches are clogging up the tree, making it hard to harvest what it does produce.

 

Your Japanese Maple is just a big mop, and you know they can be very beautiful, but you don't know how to prune them that way. Making Japanese Maples beautiful works of art is one of my specialties.

 

Things have just gotten "out of control", but you know you can't simply whack away at them. You want them to look good after they have been pruned.
 

You want to reduce the size of your lawn, and would like some ideas on different options to consider. 
 

You want to grow more native plants, for the pollinators and just for the environment in general, but don't know quite where to start.

 

You have a steep slope that needs some help. But you want your view to the water, too.

You are thinking of selling your home, and need the landscape looking its best before the photographer comes.
 

You want to learn how to minimize time and money spent on watering, or you are on a shared well.
