Skeleton Figure Plant & Garden Services - Client Service Menu

Tending to working landscapes and home gardens

Skeleton Figure Plant & Garden Services offers hands-on, experience-based plant care for clients who value long-term health, seasonal rhythms, and attentive stewardship — indoors and out. Services are intentionally sized to ensure quality, consistency, and care.

How Pricing Works

Most services are structured using flat per-visit rates (for ongoing care) or fixed project pricing (for installations and one-off work). This approach provides clarity, consistency, and a shared understanding of scope from the outset.

Hourly service is also available upon client request, and may be appropriate for:

  • Flexible or exploratory work

  • Smaller or evolving scopes

  • Short-term or trial engagements

  • Clients who prefer time-based billing

Materials are billed separately when applicable. Every estimate—whether flat-rate, project-based, or hourly—is tailored, transparent, and grounded in experience.
