Our Philosophy

Is your garden a place to nurture your soul? A source of seasonal produce? A force against habitat loss? Or is it a paradise to pause and feel the rhythms of nature?

At Bo Firestone Trees & Gardens, we think a garden can - and should - be these things. A garden is built on the soil that you steward. It is a piece of the larger landscape - and of your home. Gardens are a work of the heart. We believe each garden should be as unique as the people who appreciate them.

Specializing in native, naturalistic, and cottage gardens, we love to minimize thirsty lawns and create layered plantings of climate-appropriate shrubs and perennials.

Our process starts with a consultation. During this visit, we identify your objectives and unique style. We also determine if you need our standard design package (to create a 36”x24” planting plan) or a different approach.

Do you need more privacy? A place to entertain? A wildlife sanctuary? A children's play garden? A place to relax? To grow herbs? A cheerful welcome home? Using a collaborative approach, we create a design that is uniquely yours.

Maintenance

Are you having trouble tackling skilled garden jobs such as pruning fruit trees or nurturing native beauties? With our highly trained horticultural professionals, we provide the care and attention that standard “mow-and-blow” services often overlook.

Our clients are people who highly value their green spaces and want a maintained, but not overly-manicured, look. Our team is experienced in plant selection, installation, establishment, and ongoing care - whether your pants are new or have been with you for decades.

From a carefully timed cut-back of your lavender, sage, and ornamental grasses, to pruning roses, training fruit trees, delicately shaping your Japanese maples, or making your manzanita look stunning, we provide appropriate care for each season. We also provide natural, chemical-free weed management in the form of hand-pulling and mulching.

We offer rates for perennial plant care ($75/labor hour), tree care ($125/hr), and mixed work ($100/hr). Hauling brush is also available for an additional disposal fee.

We also provide hands-on workshops to teach our clients to do it themselves! This makes a great gift for the gardening enthusiast in your household.

Our service levels include regular monthly visits, seasonal fine gardening, or a one-time refresh based on your needs.
