GAVonburg-Horticulture

Landscaping, Lawn and Yard Work

About us

Whether working for an expansive country estate or a mixed planting of annuals and perennials for a modest doorstep garden, I bring the same attention to detail, concern for communicating effectively with the client, and staying on budget.  Not every project requires the most expensive features, but every customer deserves honest, workman-like service. I personally supervise and labor on every project.

Business highlights

12 years of trusted experience

Services we offer

With over 25 years experience in landscaping and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from Purdue University, I offer the following services: Garden clean-up, maintenance, and fertilizing. Design of garden renovations or new landscape installations. Dramatic plantings for annual beds and containers. Quality-conscious tree and shrub pruning. Construction of dry-laid stone retaining walls; brick paver walks and patios; garden arbors. Special interest in native plants.

Services we don't offer

Massive run-and-gun mulching alone is a task I usually decline. I do not offer weekly lawn mowing nor regularly scheduled lawn spraying. If your trees need pruning that require technical climbing skills, I can recommend some superior arborists.

I have worked with landscapers previously who dictated tree/plant choices to fit their designs. Mr. Von Burg was very good about making suggestions, and then offering choices, with the knowledge of what would grow well, and where it should grow. There was a slight delay in the spring, during his busy season, but he soon got back on track and finished well before fall. The finished bed continues to be more and more attractive, and has been an attribute on my garden tours.
Description of Work: Designed landscape plan to join two smaller beds, into one large curved bed that stretched the length of the lot, along the road. Worked with me on tree/shrub/plant selection, purchased all necessary plants, tilled and improved soil and planted.

Geoff doers a very good job with everything and listens intently with our wants, I'm a very particular person, fortunately he's a particular person with plants and has a way with keeping matured types of plants looking natural after trimming them back from its over bushy appearance. The only rank I didn't give highest for was responsiveness which related to email. It was during an initial question phase and unrelated to having any work underway. It was also just that one time. If you're looking for someone to care for your garden with TLC and a lot of knowledge Geoff is your man. I'm impatient and probably rated this category stiffly but I would say the quality is worth the wait.
Description of Work: We've had Geoff back several times initially planting a couple of plant beds with three river trees and a slow growing tree. Since then, he's come back to trim those river trees, pulled the hostas in the same plant bed and filling in soil and mulching afterwards.
