Contact and Schedule
All new clients start by scheduling an initial on-site consultation. Growing good fruit is a complex process that requires year-round care. Wether you decide to do the work yourself, or hire us to do it for you, knowledge specific to your site and your plants will enable a holistic understanding of the system.
Consultations are $100/hr, typically one hour long.
Depending on your unique situation, your consultation will include some or all of the following:
Soil composition and nutrient deficiency
Irrigation systems/access/timing
Important yearly maintenance tasks such as fruit thinning, mulching, liming, orchard sanitation and pest and disease management.
Sunlight and exposure requirements
Variety compatibility, pollinizers and pollinators.
And I like to know if in general you like the fruit, and if the tree is productive( because if not there are options such as top working to a new variety, or adding a pollinizer to an existing tree. Both of which would be important to decide before any pruning)
Send us a photo for a free pruning estimate (please include a person or garbage bin at the trunk for perspective)
For safety reasons we cannot prune trees taller than 12ft.
There will be a $25-$75 travel fee for sites outside the city limits.
