What I do.
I offer exclusively to my clients the full range of my 17 years of experience working in the horticulture industry. I constantly engage in keeping myself at the forefront of the best practices of my industry. Combined with the latest in cutting edge tools I provide the following services:

- Garden design and construction. When working with clients to build their ideal garden space I engage with them to make sure that we capture all elements of their dream space. If requested, I draft a full plan to start the build. From the beginning to the end of the build i complete all aspects of the work from arranging delivery of substrates, rock work, building the up soil, plant purchasing, irrigation installation and outdoor lighting installation.
- Garden renovations. Some gardens have fantastic components but have become overgrown, or were poorly planned when first built. In this circumstance I'll move plants of significant size and bring in new components in order to bring the best out of the garden space.
- Finally in the winter months I also offer snow removal and pressure washing services to my cliental.
Every client of mine gets the full benefit of my professional experience every visit I make. You will never have an over-billed lackey show up that destroys your favourite rose bush. If you're looking for a mow-and-blow or a hoe-and-blow service I'm not the gardener for you.
My service is for the discerning garden owner who is looking for a long-term committed horticultural professional to treat their garden sanctuary with the reverence and care that it deserves.

After operating in the gardening industry for such an extended time I’ve tried to strive towards practices that reflect my values. The primary goals being to work for people who truly love their gardens, to work in the most environmentally friendly ways and deliver a higher standard of garden care.

All these actions have led to a reduction in the overall carbon footprint of myself and my clients.
I like to work with my clients to develop a deeper understanding of their gardening goals and desires in order to see their vision to fruition. This has led to many working relationships that have lasted many years.

About Me
My gardening journey started as a youth hunting and disposing of snails and slugs in my parents garden for a nickel a piece. That’s where my love of gardens started. Throughout my teenage years I cultivated my passion for it in the gulf islands clearing brush, building gardens, digging ponds and streams. I spent those years working for the local conservation group restoring native habitats and encouraging local ecology and removing invasive species species.
I’ve spent the my entire adult life honing my skills as a horticultural professional. With over 17 year of experience working in the industry for myself and for a variety of companies in all aspects of the landscape and gardening industry I pride myself on delivering my clients an unparalleled level of service.
My educational background consists of a BSc in biology focused around plant ecology and physiology, numerous horticulture specific courses, irrigation installation and repair courses, pest identification and pesticide application and work in nurseries building my taxonomical knowledge.
