Light Arborist Work
I bring my farming and arboriculture knowledge to city yards, helping Austinites create beautiful outdoor spaces through native, drought-tolerant, and edible plantings. I can help keep your green spaces healthy with regular maintenance like weeding, pruning, organic pest management, & fertilizing.
What’s in a consultation?
Seeing the space, checking your soil composition, getting a feel for the patterns of sunlight and shade in your yard – all of these are essential to creating an accurate estimate for your project or maintenance plan.
Some examples of work that I do:
- Creating or refreshing a flowerbed or planting space.
- Choosing fitting plants and advising on locations for more likely success
- Weekly, biweekly, or monthly garden maintenance – usually, this is a combination of weeding, pruning, fertilizing, transplanting, amending soil, and whatever else comes up. I’m your private gardener! (And arborist, within limits – I don’t have a ground crew, so I can’t climb alone.)
- Wedding Plantings – you’ve probably noticed that flower arrangements cost a fortune. Why not invest in something more permanent and sustainable instead?
ABOUT THE GARDENER
My name is Angela Greco, and I love plants!
I started working on my first farm right out of college in 2012, growing organic vegetables for a small CSA near Houston, TX. The next season, I managed a CSA in Madison, WI – then took to the coasts to learn arboriculture in NYC, urban farming in LA, and old-school organic practices in Marin County, CA. I returned to Austin at the end of 2020 to be closer to family – and because Austin is where I feels most at home.
My general work rate is a sliding scale of $40-50/hr for design and labor.
Plant a Wedding Garden!
Instead of a buying expensive flowers that you try to dry and eventually throw away in frustration (no judgment), invest in a sustainable and long-lasting garden to decorate your outdoor celebration space – for the Big Day and beyond.
The best part? No special wedding prices or up-charges. You get the same rate as the rest of my clients.
Recommended start: 6+ months before your celebration date. We may be able to do a smaller planting if you have less than 6 months, so shoot me a message to discuss!
And can you contact me to plant for other types of parties? Absolutely!
