Yard maintenance- by the hour
Hi,
We're looking to find a gardener who can do an initial cleanup and establish regular maintenance visits, with the hope of helping us figure out a plan for the yard including planting things in the future. We've spoken to several folks who price things by visit or task. We'd prefer to work off an hourly basis. If anyone has recommendations for gardeners that you have good experience with and who charge hourly, we would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Not sure where you are located, but we use Erik and his team at Detail Gardening and have been very happy. He charges $55 an hour per gardener (though I believe the initial "clean up" visit was somewhat more) and comes to maintain our mid-sized front and back yards in Albany every six weeks. His team is very friendly, hard-working and knowledgeable. We have only required maintenance, but I know he also offers design services. https://www.detail-gardening.com/
My gardener is amazing, does all the things you listed and charges by the hour. Eric at Detail Gardening. (415) 574-7707
