Hired on Thumbtack
He was very professional, communicative, and shaped my shrubs beautifully. He also charged a very fair price and pulled out a few weeks in my backyard without extra charge. He provided a lot of helpful tips and tricks about our overgrown weed.
Details: Residential • Maintain an existing garden • Extra small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Yes, I will provide plants • I don't need a sprinkler or drip system installed • No, this is a one-time project • Trimming and edging • Weeding • Weed prevention • Aeration

They did an amazing job clearing my driveway and moving the unexpectedly large amount of old manure (see photo) and clearing out my 6 vegetable beds of years old weeds and moving our cardboard farm and the manure pile! Im looking forward to finally being able to plant again

Big fan of Boris and Grow Our Food! I'm a pretty avid gardener but my landscape design skills are lacking. Had Boris come give me some advice regarding that and my garden looks WAY BETTER now. Most importantly, my wife approves.I super appreciate the other services Grow Our Food offers. A garden provides myriad benefits, but not everyone has the time or ability to manage it themselves. G.O.F. can help bridge the gap, whatever that looks like for you.

Boris literally made my dreams come true! We have been wanting to overhaul our yard for 5 years but never found the time. GrowOurFood completed our project in about a week and I still can't believe it! Boris is extremely knowlegeable and passionate about his work and we learned so much from him. He is fantastic to work with, he helped with the design and is very conscientious of the products he uses, which was important to us. We are so thrilled and would recommend him for any project large or small!

Thank you for the glowing review! It was a real pleasure working with you. I'm happy we could build the raised beds for growing vegetables and also plant the berries and native plant gardens in a timely manner.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Option #1:
- We schedule a time for me to come out and do a free estimate.
- Soon after the visit, I follow up with a quote.
- If we decide to work together, we schedule then do the work.
- Jobs $2,000 and above require a 30% deposit.
Option #2: Sometimes a client may not have a clear vision of the exact work they're looking to do, but wants help in coming up with a broader vision of what it is they can accomplish on their property. For these clients, we offer a 1-hour in-depth consultation ($110), where we walk your property together, assess the site, and discuss your goals. I offer advice, suggestions, and do some on-the-fly designing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
- Obtained a master's degree in Ecological Landscape Design and Planning.
- Completed a Permaculture Design Course, led by Andrew Faust of upstate New York.
- Completed the Herbal Immersion Program from the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began my career way back as a software engineer. It was a great profession but I was looking for more. A chance encounter with herbal medicine led me into the world of plants. Herbal medicine led me to organic gardening and permaculture, then an intensive masters' degree in Ecological Landscape Design and Planning. Soon after I started Grow Our Food Landscaping.
