Services
Garden Weeding
Our garden weeding service eliminates invasive plants that compete with your flowers for nutrients and visual appeal. Using manual removal techniques, we preserve soil integrity while ensuring your garden beds remain vibrant and healthy. Ideal for both one-time cleanups and ongoing maintenance, this service enhances your garden's aesthetic and promotes optimal plant growth.
Shrub Pruning
Professional shrub pruning maintains plant health and enhances landscape aesthetics. Our team uses battery-powered trimmers for quiet reshaping of overgrown shrubs, typically required every 3-5 years. This service restores structural integrity while promoting vigorous new growth and seasonal flowering.
Design Consultation
Our expert consultations provide personalized solutions for garden redesign or plant selection challenges. Margaret and Matt offer on-site assessments to address spatial issues, plant compatibility, and seasonal interest. This service ensures your outdoor space reflects both horticultural best practices and your personal vision.
Garden Rejuvenation
We specialize in revitalizing mature gardens through plant relocation and division. Our team addresses overcrowding issues by strategically redistributing vegetation, improving both visual balance and plant health. This service includes soil enrichment and mulching to support long-term garden vitality.
Seasonal Containers
Our seasonal container installations add vibrant color to entryways and patios throughout the year. We select climate-appropriate plants for dynamic displays that evolve with each season. This service combines creative design with horticultural expertise to maintain continuous visual interest in high-impact outdoor areas.

Two years ago I realized that my gardens and landscaping had gotten away from me - even though I love gardening. So, I was so happy to find Perennial. Matt, Stephanie and the team have made a world of difference to the upkeep of my property. From thinning out my beloved, but completely over run cutting garden to trimming hedges, to replanting problem spots, they have transformed and maintained my gardens...and I couldnt be happier. Reliable, knowledgeable and great to work with. I couldnt be more pleased.

The Perennial Gardener did an amazing job. The helped me with new plants that will flower through the summer, they planted and moved things around for me, gave me tips and suggestions, all of it in just a couple (2) hours. I was amazed at how much they got done so quickly. It would have taken me days to do the same amount of work. I will have them back in the spring. Great work, thank you!

Matt and Margaret arrived when promised and completed the work within the estimated timeframe. The backyard looks much more organized than ever before and I look forward to seeing their hard work bloom next Spring. I would not hesitate to use The Perennial Gardener.

Matt and his crew are courteous, accommodating and hardworking. I appreciated his quick responses to my enquiries and attention to detail when arranging landscaping services as well as in the work done. I couldn't be happier with the tree planting they did in my front yard and highly recommend this service!
