Montecito Arborist

Garden Consulting

Certified Professional Horticulturist

As a horticulturist specializing in plant care, I work with clients and their teams to resolve garden issues and guide new projects. Each garden has different conditions, so recommendations are based on specific property and goals.

Services Include

  • Troubleshooting plant health issues
  • Garden design guidance and plant procurement
  • Representation during construction planning with installation guidelines
  • Post construction garden mitigation
  • Staff placement for estates

Successful gardens require skilled, consistent attention. I serve as a central coordination point, ensuring plant care, soil management, and project logistics are handled correctly.

Monthly Garden Management

Garden management is available on a monthly retainer. I tie the pieces together and oversee the garden, working with your garden team and/or with my contract crews who bill you directly.

Outside of a retainer, I do not direct your gardeners. I pass information on to you so you can direct them. When hands on work is required, I do some of it myself. For larger jobs, I only work with garden crews that I recommend and have trained, and they bill the client directly.

Irrigation

Irrigation systems are often a major source of garden stress. I conduct irrigation audits to evaluate systems and schedules and provide recommendations for improvement. When repairs are required, I coordinate with qualified irrigation technicians.
