Planting Services
Thoughtful planting can completely change the way a yard feels. Michel helps homeowners add flowers, shrubs, small plants and simple planting arrangements that fit the property and are realistic to maintain over time.
Before planting, the existing area is reviewed so the work can be planned around sunlight, access, irrigation, soil condition and the style of the home. The goal is not to overcomplicate the landscape, but to create clean, balanced outdoor areas that look cared for and improve curb appeal.
Planting services can be used for front yard refreshes, backyard improvements, garden borders, seasonal color, small shrub installation and simple landscape upgrades.
Mulch & Garden Beds
Mulch installation is one of the simplest ways to make a yard look more finished while helping planted areas stay cleaner and easier to maintain. Fresh mulch can improve the appearance of garden beds, reduce visible weeds and help protect soil around plants and shrubs.
Michel can help clean up existing beds, remove light debris, define edges, spread mulch evenly and refresh planted areas so the space feels more organized. This is especially useful before spring, before listing a home, before an event or when outdoor areas need a simple visual upgrade.
Garden bed refresh work may include weeding, light pruning, plant placement, mulch finishing and cleanup around walkways, borders and outdoor features.
