Planting Services
We don’t landscape. We plant. Properly.
At The Garden Nerd, we do things a little differently. We’re not landscapers—we’re gardeners who actually know plants. We don’t just stick a tree in the ground and call it done. We help you choose the right plants for the right places, in the real desert conditions of the East Valley. Then we plant them the right way, so they thrive long-term—not just for the next season.
This is how planting should be.
What We Do
✔️ Plant Selection Guidance
Don’t know what to plant or where? That’s our thing. We’ll help you pick the best trees, shrubs, flowers, and more for your space, sunlight, and goals.
✔️ Site Walk & Custom Plan
We come to your yard, walk the space with you, and if needed, we’ll give you a written plan for layout and placement. We don’t just plant—we think it through.
✔️ Proper Planting (The First Time)
From one-gallon to 25-gallon trees, we plant it all—correctly. That means understanding soil, root depth, airflow, drainage, and placement. We plant with intention, not guesswork.

Local, East Valley Only
We only serve the East Valley—Mesa, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, and nearby areas. Why? Because we know this desert. We know what works here, not in some generic Pinterest yard.
Straight Talk
We’re not landscapers. We don’t want to be landscapers. If you’re looking for someone to mow the grass, hack the shrubs and blow leaves, that’s not us.
We know soil. We know plants. And we’ll tell you the truth about what will work and what won’t. We won’t just plant something wherever you tell us—if it’s the wrong spot, we’ll say so. Our goal is to help you plant once, not every season after something dies.
🌿 Yard Care After Planting
Once we plant, we’re happy to offer our Yard Care service to help with follow-up maintenance like proper soil feeding, watering, and pruning. Our goal is to help you be as successful as possible. No one likes dead plants! Get more details here.
