About us
At Hobby Gardening LLC, we offer personalized, one-on-one gardening services in Ypsilanti Township and Washtenaw County. Since 2023, we've been helping homeowners maintain beautiful yards with care and attention to detail—welcoming everyone, no matter their background.
When you hire us, you get a dedicated gardener, not a big crew. Using hand and battery-powered tools, we focus on the areas you need help with, including hard-to-reach spots that might be difficult for you to maintain. If there's anything we can't do, we'll let you know upfront, ensuring clear expectations from the start.
Our business values
-
Simple & Clear Process: After an in-person assessment, we provide a formal quote. If accepted, you'll receive a written Service Agreement outlining the service details and final price.
-
No Hidden Fees: Our quotes include everything—taxes and materials—so there are no unexpected costs. Once you sign the Service Agreement, you’ll know exactly what you’ll pay.
-
Eco-Friendly Gardening: We work with nature, not against it. That means that we will not use chemical herbicides or pesticides, ensuring a healthier ecosystem around your home.
-
Quiet, Low-Impact Tools: We use hand and battery-powered tools to minimize noise, pollution, and disruption to you and your neighbors.
-
Friendly & Respectful Service: Gardening is our passion, not just a job. We value open communication, respect your property, and work with you to find the best solutions for your budget and needs.
your gardener
Hi, I’m Alvaro! I was born in Madrid in 1990 and have been passionate about gardening since I was 14, when I built my very first raised bed on my parents’ balcony. After moving to the U.S. in 2019, I started growing my own food in Missouri and later transformed my Michigan backyard into a garden filled with vegetables, edible flowers, and herbs.
I’m not only a gardener, but also a linguist with two MAs in Applied Linguistics. I balance my career in education with my gardening business since 2023. When I’m not in the garden, you’ll find me reading about agriculture, woodworking, or painting.
Need a gardener? Schedule a visit with me. I’d love to help bring your outdoor space to life!
