Crabroots handles the planting, pruning, and upkeep that a good garden actually needs — sized to your yard, priced before we start, never more than $650 a visit.
About Crabroots
We're a small, hands-on gardening crew based in Elkhart, working yards across the county. No franchise script, no upsell calls — just a crew that shows up, does the work well, and tells you plainly what it costs.
Services
Each service is scoped to your property before we quote it — the ranges below cover a typical Elkhart residential lot.
New flower beds, shrub borders, and layout for vegetable or perennial gardens — from a bare patch to a plan you'll actually keep up.
Shrubs, hedges, and small ornamental trees shaped and thinned for healthy growth, with all cuttings hauled away.
Beds cleared of weeds and topped with fresh mulch to hold moisture and keep the next round of weeds down longer.
Mowing, edging, and seasonal fertilizing on a schedule, or as one-off visits when the yard's gotten away from you.
Spring wake-up or fall shutdown: leaf removal, bed prep, cutting back perennials, and getting the yard ready for the season ahead.
A complete refresh — clearing, soil work, new planting, and mulch — for gardens that need more than a touch-up.
How a project runs
Same order, every job — so you always know what happens next.
We walk the property with you and talk through what you want it to look like and how much upkeep you're up for.
A written price — never above $650 — and a plan for what gets done, before any work starts.
Planting, pruning, weeding, or cleanup — done in one visit for most yards, scheduled around your week.
We go over the finished work with you and flag anything worth watching as it settles in.
Pricing
Rates below cover a typical Elkhart yard. Larger properties are quoted individually — but no single visit runs past $650.
Weeding, mulching, and general bed tidy-up.
Spring wake-up or fall shutdown for the whole yard.
Bare patch or overgrown bed to a finished garden.
Lawn care (mowing & edging) is billed separately at $45–$95 per visit depending on lot size, or as a monthly plan on request. Every price is confirmed in writing after the consult and before we start — no job is billed above $650.
