I would give @terragardensvcs one million stars if I had the option! From start to finish, they were professional, hard working, friendly and exceeded my expectations. Our yard had just become overgrown, and we needed help getting things back on track. Francisco and his team worked their magic and found our special space we loved so much! Now, we can enjoy the rest of the summer and fall without stressing about the yard work- because it is back to a manageable place. If you are thinking about giving your space some love, I can’t recommend Terra Garden Services enough, and we will definitely be working with them again!!

Would highly recommend! They were very quick on getting out here and getting an estimate. Pricing was reasonable and better than other places. They were very professional and efficient. Completed the work in the time they estimated and did a final walk through to assure that the work was exactly what we were looking for. Before and after photos of the rock work they did for us.

We feel very fortunate to have connected with Francisco for our landscaping needs. We were stuck in the middle of a DIY from last year that simply was not going to get done. Francisco and his team of respectful and hardworking people (shout out to Guillermo) - pulled it together so quickly! Our new sod looks incredible and thanks to the sprinkler updates and recommendations I am confident our yard will look gorgeous this summer. They also completed a hardscape design in the front with rocks. We had responsive and clear communication and they really did a very professional job for a fair price. Love this company and will definitely engage them for future projects.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Terra Garden Service in Spokane, Washington. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, punctuality, and outstanding Craftsmanship! They arrived as scheduled, ready to transform my outdoor space. Their commitment to being on time was truly commendable. They did a great job, scouring my property for debris during cleanup and did a phenomenal job prepping for the install of my new yard! Any questions I had were answered within minutes. Very fair pricing at an expedited timeline. In summary, this landscaping company is a **true gem**.

Terra Garden did an amazing job refreshing our upcoming listing, we needed that curb appeal boost and to tighten up the beds/landscaping. I was shocked to see how quickly they got the job done and the quality of work for the price. We are excited to see this one through. Thank you guys! - Team EvoReal

The owner came out himself to evaluate my property's project. He took several measurements, discussed various materials that could/would be used, and gave a reasonable quote for the work to be done. He and his lead yardscape expert were able to remove and install my project in about 2 days. They called with questions when needed. Good communication and quality work. I've attached before and after photos. TGS placed the basalt chip with cement pavers. Now I can roll my garden tools/bins up/down the hill much easier! They even helped me fix an old sprinkler issue after the project finished. Thank you for the lovely hardscape!

Very nice service. A crew of 4 showed up on time and did a complete job. Our new home needed a complete do over with trimming and weeding

Kevin Peterson September 12, 2023

We don't get our yard regularly maintained but desperately needed it after last winter. The front yard was embarrassingly neglected - we're talking mats of gross, wet leaves that sat all winter long, unkempt beds, all of it. It was super easy to get scheduled with Terra Garden Services. They're very responsive which, in services such as construction and garden, can be a missing skill for some companies. Or you just get ghosted 🤷🏽‍♀️ They came out and did a great job. We could see our yard again! It's important for me to support locally owned businesses and to lift up brown folk-owned businesses as that (BIPOC in general). I wanna know where and who my money goes to and make sure it goes back into the community. With Terra Garden, I get to do that. Will be using them for future projects for sure.

Francisco and crew did an outstanding job removing many over grown shrubs and other plants that had been neglected for many years. They cleaned everything up and then refreshed all my landscape beds and even rebuilt a rock wall that needed repair. His crew works hard, shows up on time and does great quality work. They exceeded my expectations! Very impressed with this company and would recommend them to anyone.

Went above an beyond what I expected for my backyard. Work was fast and everyone in the group was friendly. Guys were even nice enough to pause weed whacking when I had to walk past them a few times. Backyard looks better today than it did when I bought the house 2 years ago. Edit: Had them back again to take care of the front half of the property. Work was done quickly and my yard looks presentable.

Terra Garden Svcs is a company you can count on! They went out of their way and graciously squeezed us in last minute when we needed a sprinkler system blowout before the freeze came. They were very responsive, showed up when they said they would, and got the job done! Thanks!

The crew at Terra Garden Services did an amazing job on my yard. We had an irrigation system installed, new sod, and gravel laid out. Francisco communicated with me and kept me updated on the status of the project. The work was very reasonably priced. His crew was personable, polite, and very professional. My new house finally feels like a home! Thank you Terra Garden Services.

Francisco and his crew were completely professional, hard working, and thorough. The customer service was top notch, from the bid process to the execution of the design work. Francisco was responsive, communicative, honest, and easy to work with. All the work was done as promised, with unexpected extras added in. They put in extra hours to make sure the job was done right. Our yard looks incredible. I would recommend Terra Garden Services to everyone!

Embarrassed that I didn't put a great review with the work they did to get our house ready to sell. It made our house look so much better for pictures after a front and backyard clean and trim! We used them again for a complete leaf removal for the house we are at now. We have a monstrous oak tree that didn't stop dumping. I got home from work and the yards had transformed. Thank you guys so much. Will always think of you guys first for landscaping needs 🙂

Francisco and Guillermo performed a few jobs at my house this summer when I felt very overwhelmed and discouraged. They fixed my sprinkler system after a stump grinder destroyed them and created my trailer pad for my travel trailer. So so happy with my result. I wish I had done it sooner. Awesome communication. I reached out on a Sunday via Facebook messenger on a recommendation from a friend. They answered Monday morning. Francisco was out the next day and I had a quote a few days later. Communicates well in when they arrive. He even finished one job early and asked what else I needed done as he had some time left. Honest and reliable. Highly recommend.

I recently worked with Terra Garden Svcs (@terragardensvcs) to completely revamp my front yard and part of my back yard. This team does miracles with your yard/landscaping plans. I was emotionally drained from dealing with my yard. I tried getting rid of weeds with cardboard and plastic sheets and nothing really worked. The team at Terra Garden was able to clear all the weeds to a fresh start and bring my plans of a low maintenance gravel yard to life. I highly recommend this team for any yard work you might have planned. They are extremely professional, helpful, great with communication, and easy to work with. You will not be disappointed.

Fast-forward a couple weeks of a dirt pile in the front yard and we now have something nice for ourselves. Simple, clean, and functional!

Widened the driveway to add some space and added a nice walkway for some curb appeal. Oh and the retractable hose reel is something every home needs today. Obsessed!

Call or Text to schedule!

Aeration and De-thatching services beginning next week, give us a call (or text) to get on the schedule!

Benefits include:

1. Improved Air Exchange: Aerating your lawn enhances soil oxygenation, crucial for root development and overall grass health by allowing better air circulation.

2. Enhanced Water and Nutrient Absorption: Aeration and de-thatching enable more effective absorption of water and nutrients by removing obstacles and delivering resources directly to the roots.

3. Reduced Soil Compaction and Improved Root Growth: Aerating relieves soil compaction, fostering deeper and stronger root growth, leading to a healthier, more resilient lawn.

Setting the proper foundation for your lawn is key to success and optimal health throughout the season. Lets start your lawn flex today!
It's Tuesday morning, 6:30a in July, it's already 82 outside and the rest of the days temp is set to scorch. You know you need to give your yard a drink of water before getting ready for work. You run from the tractor sprinkler, hoping to not trip on the hose, get spattered with water or be spotted by your neighbor (still in jammies of course). . .

OR

You read these benefits and give us a call:

1. Efficiency: Sprinkler systems deliver water directly to the root zones of plants, minimizing wastage due to runoff or evaporation. This targeted approach ensures that water is used efficiently, leading to healthier plants and reduced water bills.

2. Convenience: Automated timers allow you to set watering schedules, ensuring your yard receives water even when you're away. This convenience saves you time and effort compared to manual watering methods, while also maintaining consistent moisture levels for optimal plant growth.

3. Uniform coverage: Sprinkler systems can be designed to provide uniform coverage across your yard, ensuring all areas receive the necessary amount of water. This helps prevent under-watering or over-watering of specific areas, promoting uniform plant growth and minimizing the risk of dry spots or waterlogged soil.

4. Customization: Modern sprinkler systems offer flexibility in design and control, allowing you to customize watering zones based on the specific needs of different plants or areas in your yard. Whether you have lawns, flower beds, or vegetable gardens, a sprinkler system can be tailored to deliver the right amount of water to each area, promoting healthy growth and reducing water waste.

Fun Fact Friday # 48 - The Sahara Desert!

Did you know...

That the Sahara desert wasn't always a vast arid landscape? Geological and archaeological evidence suggests that around 10,000 years ago, the Sahara was a much more hospitable region with a wetter climate, supporting vegetation, lakes and even human populations.

This period, known as the Holocene Climatic Optimum, marked a time when the Sahara experienced a significant shift from a green, lush environment to the arid desert we recognize today. The transformation was likely due to changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, leading to alterations in regional climate patterns.

This historical green Sahara is often referred to as the "Green Sahara" or "Sahara's Ancient Megalakes". The remnants of prehistoric lakes, river channels, and archaeological evidence of ancient human settlements have been discovered beneath the vast sands of the present-day desert, offering a glimpse into the dynamic and ever-changing nature of Earth's landscapes over time. 

That's a wild thought!

Fun Fact Friday # 41 - Warm Destination Vacations

Comin' at ya from sunny Cabo San Lucas!

I'm here to provide some facts (that you probably already know) about why people MAY choose to vacation in warmer locations.

☀Escape from Cold Weather: Many people live in regions with harsh winters, and traveling to warmer places offers a break from the cold, snow, and icy conditions.

☀Seeking Sun and Warmth: Warmer climates offer sunshine and pleasant temperatures, providing an opportunity for outdoor activities like swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the warmth.

☀Vacation and Relaxation: Winter breaks often coincide with holidays or vacations, making it an ideal time for travel. Warmer destinations offer a chance to relax, unwind, and recharge during these breaks.

☀Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Some individuals experience Seasonal Affective Disorder, a type of depression related to changes in seasons, especially during the darker and colder months. Traveling to sunnier locations can alleviate symptoms and improve mood.

☀Holiday Celebrations: Some people travel to warmer places to celebrate holidays in a different setting, enjoying traditions or experiences unique to those locations.

☀Outdoor Activities: Warmer destinations provide opportunities for outdoor sports and activities that might not be feasible in colder climates during winter, such as hiking, golfing, or water sports.

☀Cultural Exploration: Exploring different cultures, cuisines, and landscapes in warmer regions can be an attractive aspect of travel during winter months.

Do you plan to visit somewhere warm & sunny this winter??

Fun Fact Friday # 40 - Holiday lighting 🎅

Hey there, festive friends! Ever wondered why we transform our humble abodes into dazzling spectacles with twinkling Christmas lights? 🤔✨ Let's unwrap this luminous tradition and shed some light on the sparkle!

🌟 Bright Beginnings 🌟
Back in the day, before electricity ruled the world, folks would adorn their homes with candles during the holiday season. Imagine a festive fire hazard! Thankfully, as technology evolved, so did our lighting game.

💡 The "Wow" Factor 💡
Bringing out the holiday lights isn't just about showing off your home's stellar decor skills (though that's a bonus!). It's all about spreading joy and lifting spirits during the darker, colder months. Think of it as a communal light show, inviting cheer and goodwill to the neighborhood! 🌟🏡

❄️ Winter Wonderland Vibes ❄️
During the winter solstice, when the days are shorter, these twinkling lights add a touch of warmth and brightness to the wintry landscape. Plus, who can resist that cozy, magical feeling when houses are adorned with colorful lights? It's like stepping into a real-life snow globe! ❄️✨

So, there you have it - the brilliant reasons behind our fascination with decking the halls (and the roofs, and the trees!) with shimmering lights. Do you go all-out with your holiday light display? Share your twinkling traditions or your favorite part of the holiday glow in the comments below! 🎅🏠

Fun Fact Friday # 39 - Thanksgiving Tradition - the tasty tale 🍁✨

Hey, feast-loving friends! As the aroma of pumpkin pies and turkey roasts fills the air, let's dive into the scrumptious story behind one of America's most cherished holidays - Thanksgiving! 🍂🍗

🌽 Pilgrims, Potlucks, and Peace 🍽️
Thanksgiving traces its roots back to the 1620s when Pilgrims and Native Americans gathered for a three-day celebration, sharing a bountiful harvest and building bridges of friendship. It was like the ultimate potluck, where everyone brought their best dishes and goodwill! 🥧🤝

🦃 Turkey Traditions 🍁
The star of the show? That iconic Thanksgiving turkey! While there's no definitive record of whether turkey was on the original menu, it's become synonymous with the holiday. Talk about a bird stealing the spotlight! 🌟🦃

🍁 Modern-Day Gratitude 🙏
Today, Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and heartfelt gratitude. It's a moment to pause, count our blessings, and share love and laughter around the table. And let's not forget the post-feast nap – it's practically a tradition too! 😴❤️

As we gather 'round this Thanksgiving, let's not just indulge in the delightful dishes but also take a moment to appreciate the warmth of togetherness and the joy of giving thanks. What's your favorite part of this delicious celebration (Green Bean Casserole for me!!) ? 

Share your fondest Thanksgiving memory in the comments below! 🧡🍴

Fun Fact Friday # 38: Terra Garden Svcs is Veteran owned and operated 

Veterans Day, a day of profound respect and gratitude, is a big deal around here, on this day (and every day honestly) we are eternally grateful for the fearless actions of Francisco and his colleagues. I thank you for your service, not only on this holiday, but every day of my freedom filled life.

The origins of this meaningful holiday can be traced back to the end of World War I.

The armistice that effectively ended World War I was signed on November 11, 1918, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, marking a significant moment in history. This ceasefire was celebrated as the end of a brutal and devastating war, and it was the hope for a lasting peace.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as Armistice Day to honor and pay tribute to the veterans of World War I. The day was intended to celebrate the heroism and sacrifice of those who had served during the war.

However, as history marched on, the world witnessed more conflicts and wars, and it became clear that "the war to end all wars" was not the last of its kind. In 1954, after World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day was officially renamed Veterans Day to honor and recognize all American veterans who have served their country in times of both war and peace.

Today, Veterans Day serves as a powerful reminder to express our deep gratitude to the brave men and women who have selflessly defended our nation, ensuring our freedom and security. It is a day to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans and to show them the respect, appreciation, and support they rightfully deserve for their service to the United States of America. Veterans Day is a time to honor their dedication, courage, and commitment to safeguarding our great nation.

" I would give @terragardensvcs one million stars if I had the option! From start to finish, they were professional, hard working, friendly and exceeded my expectations. 

Our yard had just become overgrown, and we needed help getting things back on track. Francisco and his team worked their magic and found our special space we loved so much!

Now, we can enjoy the rest of the summer and fall without stressing about the yard work- because it is back to a manageable place. 

If you are thinking about giving your space some love, I can't recommend Terra Garden Services enough, and we will definitely be working with them again!! "

Fun Fact Friday # 36 Dia de los Muertos💀🌼

💃✨ It's that time of year when we dust off our dancing shoes, don our colorful calacas, and get ready to fiesta like there's no manana! 🎉

💃 Partying with the Past 💃
Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a Mexican celebration that honors loved ones who've passed away. We're talking grandparents, great-aunts, and even that pet goldfish from 2003. The idea is that, for a couple of days, the spirits return to join the party and feast on the goodies we leave out for them. It's like the ultimate ghostly potluck! 👻🥖🍬

💀 Skull-tastic Symbolism 💀
Ever seen those fancy sugar skulls and marigold decorations? Those aren't just for show; they're an essential part of the celebration. The sugar skulls, or calaveras, represent the deceased, and the marigolds guide them home with their vibrant colors and scent. It's like nature's GPS for the dearly departed! 🌼💀

🎉 Fiesta Time 🎉
But the best part? Dia de los Muertos is a full-blown party! We create ofrendas (altars) with all our loved ones' favorite things, from tacos to tequila, music, and even photos. We light candles and spend the night reminiscing, singing, dancing, and having an all-around blast! It's the afterlife's answer to one epic shindig. 🕺🍻

So, there you have it - Dia de los Muertos in a (sugar) nutshell. It's a time for honoring, remembering, and partying with our dearly departed. And hey, who says Halloween gets all the spooky fun? 💃🌟

Fun Fact Friday # 35 \\ PUMPKINS //

Two things:

1. The world record was broken yet again for the heaviest pumpkin on Monday, Oct. 9th 2023. The bad boy weighed in at 2,749 lbs!! The record was recorded in Half Moon Bay, California by a Travis Gienger. The last Guinnes World Record was set at 2,702 lbs, by an italian grower. Travis named his pumpkin Michael Jordan after his attempt to grow the greatest pumpkin in year 2023 (also Jordans jersey no.). That's a lot of pie!

2. Did you know there are HUNDREDS of different varieties of pumpkins? So much that even chatGPT couldn't tell me an actual # for an answer. Apparently, the total number of pumpkin varieties is quite extensive and continues to evolve with breeding and cultivation practices. I wonder if pumpkin breeding is lucrative.... 

At any rate, I found some of my favorite visually pleasing pumpkins to show you. 

Popular varieties include:
- Sugar Pie, Cinderella
- Blue Hubbard
- Connecticut Field
- Fairytale
- And the list goes on and on and on

Fun Fact Friday # 28: Labor Day Edition 🛠️

Hey there, history buffs and party lovers! Did you know that Labor Day isn't just an extra day off for BBQs and pool parties? It's got a super cool backstory too!

Back in the late 1800s, workers were putting in some seriously long hours – we're talking 12-hour days, 7 days a week! 😲 But then, along came the awesome Labor Movement, and they said, "Hold up, let's celebrate all the hard workin' folks!"

So, on September 5, 1882, in New York City, the first Labor Day parade happened, and it was like a massive party for all the incredible peeps who keep the gears of society turning! 🥳 Think about it – people were marching and partying for better working conditions and shorter workdays! 🎉

But wait, there's more! It wasn't until 1894 that Labor Day became an official holiday. Imagine waiting over a decade for your invite to the Labor Day shindig! 😂 Congress was like, "Yeah, you guys totally deserve a day off to kick back and relax."

So there you have it, fam – Labor Day isn't just about the end of summer, it's a tribute to the hardworking heroes who fought for better job vibes. 💪 So, this weekend, as you fire up the grill or hit the beach, remember to give a shoutout to those history-making trailblazers! 🙌
