Before & After

From overgrown to extraordinary.

A recent mulching and planting transformation — same hillside, two very different stories.

Our Story

The Ginger & the Shovel

Pat — the Ginger — and Johnny built this business on a simple foundation: hard work, friendly handshakes, and a genuine love for this corner of Pennsylvania.

What began as a beat-up Volvo wagon loaded with shovels and mowers has grown into Sewickley's most personal gardening crew. We know our neighbors by name. We remember which hydrangeas you planted with your grandmother. And we treat every property like it's our own front yard.

Why we do this

"We believe a beautiful garden isn't just property value—it's a therapeutic sanctuary for your mind and peace of mind."

Locally owned, locally rooted, locally loved.
