Ecological Consulting & Micro-Estate Management

Most homeowners have a fragmented approach to their land: a mow crew that cuts everything flat, a tree service that removes canopy but ignores soil, and a homeowner stuck in the middle trying to manage it all.

When you join the Stewardship Program, you are hiring a Director of Grounds. I act as the single point of contact for your property’s ecological health. My job is to hold the long-term vision, coordinate your vendors, and personally execute the delicate restoration work that standard crews miss. Whether you have a 0.2-acre lot or a 5-acre estate, you get the same level of attentive, specialized care.

The 4-Season Cadence

I schedule based on biology, not the calendar. Your subscription includes at least 4 strategic visits per year: 28 banked hours divided at the start of your membership within your unique site-plan. These dates will be chosen to work with you schedule, and most importantly with your land's needs. The following are just a few examples of the type of work you can expect during each visit:

❄️ Q1: The Spring Refresh (Jan-March) The "Deep Clean" | Extended Visit (~7 Hours) As the soil hits 50°F,  prepare the beds for the growing season.

• The Work: I remove winter weeds before they seed, perform cutbacks on perennials, and execute the "Deep Weeding" (digging roots, not just pulling tops).  This may also be when we cut back last years perennial growth left for overwintering wildlife.
• The Goal: To reset the stage so your desirable plants have zero competition when they wake up.

🌱 Q2: The Summer Edit (Mar -June) The "Course Correction" | Standard Visit (~3.5 Hours) The "Green Blur" has arrived. I step in to manage the chaos.

• The Work: I perform the "Chelsea Chop" on fall bloomers (to prevent flopping), edit back aggressive plants, and patrol for invasive vines hiding in the shade. 
• The Goal: To ensure the garden looks intentional, not overgrown, during the peak of summer heat.

☀️ Q3: The Fall Restoration (July -September) The "New Year" | Extended Visit (~7 Hours) Ecologically, fall is the best time for planting and root growth.

• The Work: This is our primary window for installing new habitat (billed separately) and managing Stiltgrass before it drops seed. I assess what thrived and what failed.
• The Goal: To establish strong root systems before winter and maximize the "Second Spring."

🍂 Q4: The Winter Structure (Oct -December) The "Bones" | Standard Visit (~3.5 Hours) With the leaves down, we can see the architecture of the garden.

• The Work: I perform surgical, structural pruning on deciduous trees and shrubs. I manage fallen leaves ("Soft Landings") to insulate beds rather than bagging valuable nutrients.
• The Goal: To fix crossing branches, open airflow, and protect the soil for winter dormancy.
