Testimonials
The job Zachary Gilhooley did for was beautifully and meticulously finished and I’m extremely happy. He’s organized, reliable and flexible, as well as highly focused on making sure we are on the same page, which makes it a pleasure to work with him. My garden looks like it was cared for with a lot of love and that genuinely puts a smile on my dace every time I look out at it. He helped me to create something beautiful, which we all have a great need for, and my garden is now a place where guests can relax and so can I! From the start, it was clear, that my garden was in safe and professional hands and I could not recommend Zach more; he’s friendly, knowledgeable and my garden looks fantastic. Highly, highly recommended.

He is knowledgeable about plants and has an eye for garden aesthetics. Zac is a good communicator. He shows up when he says and works very hard and efficient. We highly recommend Zac for garden maintenance and care.

“We hired Zac to help us with our overgrown flower garden. He was amazing. He identified plants we didn’t know we had, cleared out all the weeds, and invasives with those underground roots that spread everywhere. He moved plants around in the garden so they were optimally positioned to grow. He was on-time, worked hard, and made our garden better than ever. He put the garden to bed before winter, and we will be asking him to come back in the spring to get the garden started right.”

“I have a large garden in Bernard, Maine with a blend of native plants, shrubs, and perennials, balanced with other non-native perennials, annuals, and shrubs which gives the property a feel of wildness and tameness. Zac has an eye for knowing the plants and the need to weed. As a property owner, I want someone who can be a self-starter to weed, transplant, or plant new plants and maintain the paths to the other garden areas. He brings these solid skills, has good energy, is organized in his daily work, and does it in a timely manner.”
