Welcome. I provide landscape design plus small - medium shrub & tree pruning for landscape maintenance, including Japanese Maple pruning. My work area overlaps Medford, Jacksonville, Central Point and Ashland in southern Oregon. Homeowners often call for advice about trees and landscape care. Those consultations average 1 hour to disucss soil, plants, irrigation practices, drainage plus tree care advice and arborist reports. I can also replenish bark, decorative gravel mulch and a variety of other things. Ideally, this trade requires a blend of arborist, horticulturist and designer merged into one thought process, and I was trained for each of those. Since my equipment is more streamlined, estimates typically provide better affordability than by big outifits for small to mid size tree and shrub care
I entered horticulture in 1980, working at golf courses, university campuses, parks, and residential landscapes. Over 45 years experience. Please take a moment to review the background and testimonials page. The 2nd menu below leads to over 200 pages about various landscaping tips and other misc.. On the side, I also provide professional photography which evolved from measuring old growth coast redwoods for research. Eventually the forest photography evolved into portraits and weddings.
Maybe it's due to the wooded property my parents bought in what used to be rural Beaverton back in the 1960s, but that's where I bonded with gardening and trees.
Cheers,
Mario D. Vaden
