Paul was extremely professional. He arrived right on the agreed time, understood the requirements, and got to work immediately. His work was of great quality, and he left the place extremely clean after he was done. I’d recommend PB Plantae for all landscaping needs.

I attempted to convert my front lawn to a low maintenance pollinator garden, but I didn't do the best job. Paul helped educate me on some fundamentals that I had been doing backwards! I fully appreciated the learning and science behind it all as well as his service to get my yard cleaned, irrigation system better laid out, and back on the right track! I already have several other projects that I can't wait for his guidance and services for!

I had an excellent experience with PB Plantae. Paul came by to help with some dead plant removal and went way beyond what I expected. He didn't just take them outhe cut everything up, cleaned the entire area, and even took the time to trim the roots properly. Its hard to find someone with that level of attention to detail and care for the landscape. Highly recommend Paul if you want the job done right!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Maintenance service starts at $75 for front or rear yards, and add-on services like seasonal cleanups or large hedge work are quoted separately so you only pay for what you need.
Weeding visits start at $150 (up to 2 hours).
I always provide fair, honest pricing based on the amount of work, and every job is quoted up front with no surprises.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by asking a few simple questions about your yard and what kind of maintenance or help you’re looking for. From there, I schedule a quick visit to walk the property, understand your goals, and make sure we’re a good fit.
You’ll receive a clear, fair estimate based on the size of your yard and the services you need. If everything looks good, we choose a start date and I begin your biweekly maintenance or scheduled project.
Throughout the process, I keep communication easy and friendly — you’ll always know what to expect, what’s included, and when I’ll be there. My goal is to make your yard care simple, reliable, and stress-free.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold an academic degree in Horticulture Science, which provides a strong foundation in plant health, soil science, irrigation principles, and sustainable landscape practices. This training helps me understand how plants grow, what they need to thrive in our climate, and how to maintain gardens in a way that supports long-term health rather than quick fixes.
In addition to formal education, I continue to stay current with California water-efficient landscaping guidelines, battery-powered equipment standards, and sustainable gardening methods to give customers the best possible care for their outdoor spaces.
