Questions and Answers
What does a typical garden maintenance service from Petrus include?

My lawn in Menlo Park has persistent dead patches. Can you help?
Absolutely. Dead turf is a common issue in our area, often stemming from poor soil conditions, compacted ground, or inadequate irrigation. We don't just re-sod the problem area. First, we diagnose the root cause, which frequently involves checking for proper drainage—another local challenge. Our solution typically involves aerating the soil, amending it for better health, and ensuring your irrigation system delivers water evenly and efficiently. We address the underlying issue to prevent the problem from recurring, giving you a healthier, more resilient lawn.
How does your background in both estate and commercial landscaping benefit my home project?
Our founders' combined experience means your residential project receives the best of both worlds. From private estate gardening, we bring a high level of detail, customization, and artistic plant selection. From commercial landscaping, we apply efficient project management, clear communication, and reliable systems. For you, this translates to a smooth process where your vision is executed with meticulous care, on schedule, and with the expertise to ensure your landscape is both beautiful and built to last with minimal ongoing issues.
