Very responsive. We only needed two hours of woe but they were ready to assist. Great work too, weeding a rocky and overgrown area. Will recommend and use again if needed!

We had a great experience working with Rosie for weeding. She was responsive, and the work was done with high quality. We've also got some decent advice from her since we are new to gardening. Would recommend!

I literally couldn’t select punctuality and responsiveness in the list of good things. But humbletoad is all of that. They come home every time as discussed and does an amazing job of making the yard look so clean. Cost is also very reasonable for the amount of work they do. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a regular yard maintenance

Details: Residential • Small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • Over a month ago • Pro's recommendation • No, I don't need to be there • Once a month

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    My educational background is in Hydrology and Environmental Sciences. I am currently studying to become a Certified Professional Horticulturalist for the state of Washington.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I earned a BS in Hydrology in 2014 and worked in Stormwater Research. Much of my day to day involved caring for our water filtering systems, which used a variety of plants, soil, and rock. In 2016, I began a new chapter by starting a job at a native plant nursery which also had a gardening division. I worked out in client gardens as well as at the nursery, specializing in our Stormwater plants. In 2018, I moved to California and spent almost a year working for a native and medicinal plant nursery, offering my services as a Stormwater and rehabilitation plant specialist. Since moving to Seattle in 2019, I’ve done a variety of organic garden maintenance and installation work. With my ample experience, I recently decided to start my own company in the hopes that I can offer sustainable and organic garden maintainance, design, and installation for people in the Seattle area who are interested in natives, pollinators, and edible flowers.
