Services

What we look after.

A small set of services we genuinely care about — pool, lawn, garden, and the design that ties them together. Every job is run by Jamie, with the same two-person crew.

Pool care

Crystal water, every week of the year.

We service residential pools across the South Bay on a steady weekly route. Service comes with a written log of chemistry readings, equipment notes and anything we noticed — sent to your phone after every visit.

What's included

  • Skim, brush, vacuum. Surface, walls, steps and tile line.
  • Empty baskets. Skimmer and pump baskets, every visit.
  • Full chemistry test. Free chlorine, combined chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, CYA, salt.
  • Chemicals. Standard chemicals are included — no pass-through markups.
  • Equipment scan. Pump, filter, heater and salt cell looked over each visit; a deeper inspection every fourth.
  • Written summary. Logged in our private app and texted to you after the visit.

Periodic and one-off

  • Filter deep clean. Disassemble, chemical-soak and reassemble cartridges or grids.
  • Tile & waterline detail. Bead-blast or chemical detail to remove calcium scale.
  • Acid wash & stain removal. For drained-pool re-surface prep and stubborn metal staining.
  • Salt cell service. Inspection, cleaning and calibration.
  • Equipment repair & replacement. Pumps, motors, heaters, automation and lighting.
  • Vacation & one-time visits. Heading out of town? We'll keep an eye on it.

Landscaping

Predictable, well-kept yards on a steady schedule.

We run weekly and bi-weekly maintenance routes across San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino and the Peninsula. Same two faces, same day each week, no rotating crews. Battery-powered mowers and trimmers on residential streets so we don't wake your neighbors.

Regular maintenance

  • Mow, edge & blow. Sharpened blades for a clean cut, crisp edges along beds and hardscape.
  • Hedge & shrub shaping. Hand-pruned where it matters; powered shears where it doesn't.
  • Bed weeding & cleanup. Hand-pulled, no broad-spectrum herbicide on residential routes.
  • Drip-line check. Every visit, eyes on emitters, leaks and pressure.
  • Green waste. Hauled or composted on-site if you have a bin.

Seasonal & project

  • Mulch installation. Cedar, bark or compost — delivered, spread, edged.
  • Sod replacement. Removal, soil prep, fresh sod and a 30-day water-in plan.
  • Drip irrigation tune-up. Smart-controller programming, leak hunt, head replacement.
  • Seasonal refresh. Spring or fall: hard prune, new annuals, top-dressed mulch.
  • Hardscape & lighting. Flagstone, decomposed granite paths, low-voltage LED.

Gardening

Plants that belong here.

California is a Mediterranean climate, and the best gardens here lean into that. We design and tend pollinator beds, drought-tolerant plantings, raised vegetable boxes and shaded fern courtyards — and we'll happily nurse a struggling lemon tree back to health.

What we tend to

  • Pollinator & native beds. Designed for bees and bay-area butterflies, low water once established.
  • Edible gardens. Raised cedar boxes, fruit tree care, soil-building amendments.
  • Rose & perennial care. Pruning windows, dead-heading, dormant spray.
  • Shade gardens. Ferns, hellebore, hostas — for north-facing yards under oaks.
  • Container gardens. Front-porch and patio planters, refreshed seasonally.
  • Tree health. Citrus, olive and Japanese maple — feeding, pruning, pest care.

Design

Drawn by the person who'll build it.

Jamie has been designing and installing yards in the Valley for fifteen years. Most projects start with a one-hour walkthrough — we'll talk through what you want, what's realistic, and roughly what it'll cost. You leave with a hand sketch and an honest budget range.

How design works

  1. 1Walkthrough & sketch — $185. One hour on-site, hand sketch, written budget range.
  2. 2Concept plan. A scale plan with materials and plantings, two rounds of revisions.
  3. 3Build. We pull permits, schedule trades, and run the crew start to finish.
  4. 430-day check-in. Watering, pruning and any tweaks while plantings establish.
