Progress, and sometimes perfection. ⋆

Moving a basement — $400

This project was several sessions of categorizing, labeling and hauling bins of stuff from basement to living room so that this family of 5 could spend time helping the young children with the transition of moving to a new home.

Yard restoration — $250

A neighbor had a foot injury and hired PWJ for the plant species knowledge, physical confidence, and willpower to clean up the yard. We discovered that the mower works once it got started, and the doggie enjoyed the expanded space in the back.

Pruning Shrubs — $100

This is just one corner of the yard and the project included pulling out the goldenrod and snakeroot from the rock beds, then removing the dead branches from the ninebush. The second session of work focused on pruning the mature shrub away from the path of the mower, away from the house and eaves, and into a more shapely yard feature.

Curb Appeal — $500

A realtor brought on PWJ to help this busy family get their yard ready for the photographer in listing the house for sale. We had to decide whether to pick up all of the apples…and decided that the focus needed to be on the lines of the beds, pulling weeds, and cutting perennials back for the season. The apple tree did get a pruning!

  • Tackle Organizing $75

    Hire PWJ to keep the motivation and clarity to sort out the pantry and make it more efficient for your hungry household. Really, any closet or transitional space is worth a couple hours of teamwork!

  • Landscape Assistant $100

    Hire PWJ to give you a second set of hands, knowledge, passion, and confidence to finally get native trees and flowers going in your yard.

  • Painting $400

    Hire PWJ to help your ambitious family member get the project done in the time they think it’ll take…The skills of two people will be an incredible value-add to the satisfaction you all feel with the outcome.

  • Restoration $300

    This lilac had been overgrown by thistle through some lava rock. PWJ pruned it, cleared all the weeds, laid cardboard and mulch at the base, and will be reseeding the circle for the next season.
