Garden maintenance in Vermont

Vermont and Vermont South are family-home territory. Three- and four-bedroom houses on solid blocks, plenty of established lawns, and gardens that get used by kids and dogs through the week. The work here is about keeping the place tidy without making a fuss about it.

For most Vermont clients, JJ runs a weekly mow through October to March and drops back to fortnightly through autumn and winter. Edges, line trim, and a quick blow of paths and patio is included. Hedges get scheduled separately — typically twice a year, with the early-spring trim being the big one and the autumn trim being a tidy-up.

The Forest Hill Chase end of Vermont has a lot of compact townhouses and units that sit on a narrower run of lawn. Those are quick visits but they really benefit from a sharp finish — a clean edge against the path or driveway makes a small garden look professionally kept. JJ books these as 30-minute slots so the price stays reasonable for clients who do not need a full hour.
