Welcome. I provide landscaping plus shrub and small to medium size tree pruning around Medford, Jacksonville, Central Point and Ashland in southern Oregon. There are a few repeat customers near Portland during holiday season travel north, but work is primarily landscaping in southern Oregon near Medford. Services include skilled pruning, sod lawn, tree planting, shrub planting, paver block pathways, garden beds and drainage. A favorite is Japanese Maple pruning. Please take a moment to review background and testimonials. Homeowners often call for advice about landscape, design, tree care and drainage. Consultations average 1 hour. For tree care, review Pruning Services. Light equipment work is available for landscape grading or moving decorative rock.
I entered horticulture in 1980 with golf courses, followed by university campuses and hundreds of residential landscapes: almost 40 years of experience. Two specialized services are tree measuring and photography which emerged from experience along the redwood coast, measuring coast redwoods for research work. Then forest photography evolved into weddings and portraits (in case you spot my name someday under two niches). On that note, the 2nd menu below leads to over 200 pages about landscaping tips and more. plus extensive redwood information. Typically, my pruning trends "natural" and discreet, but in 2018, I started work at a big home in Rogue River where a lot of distinct shaping was involved. I posted a page for this this place.

Over the years, I found tree selection and planting to be very enjoyable. The nuts and bolts behind it are often unrealized by landscape architects, designers or arborists because many of them remained confined within a single facet of horticulture. Successful planting requires the mindset of both arborist and designer merged into one thought process. I am one of the few you will find who worked as both landscape designer and arborist, and that makes a big difference. Everything is important when it comes to planting landscape trees, and experience gets some things accomplished that garden and tree books can't provide. This is one reason I offer landscape advice for an hour or more. Some home gardeners like tending their own yards, and I'm glad to help them find solutions.
