Compost and local travel are included. Irregular shapes, multiple beds, and tight access are quoted after we see the space. No surprise size changes: we agree on the area before starting.
Included in the work
We loosen the existing soil, work the compost through, rake the bed, and cut a soil edge. On a new bed, we lift and remove the sod first.
We leave paths swept and collect material from the work area before we go.
A few things outside the quote
Planting, raised-bed construction, edging materials, irrigation, and removing large roots, stumps, or buried debris need other arrangements. We do not provide soil testing.
Leave established plants outside the area you ask us to till. We walk the outline with you before any digging.
Plan before the busy weeks
When should I book a spring bed?
Ask in February or March for an April or May route week. Frozen or soggy ground moves the work to another day; we agree on the new date with you.
Can you work a bed that is already planted?
We work cleared areas. Tell us about plants you want to keep, and we will agree on a boundary around them before quoting.
Start with two measurements.
Tell us the length and width, and whether this is lawn or an existing bed.
