Watering while you're away
Planters, pots and new plantings watered by hand on the days you're gone.
What it is
Pots, planters and beds watered while you travel, with a photo each time.
Leave for a week in July and the pots are the first casualty. A watering visit uses your hose and can to water the containers and beds you list, until water runs out of the bottom of the pot, with a photo of each one in your inbox every visit so you know it happened.
Lawns aren't included; your sprinkler handles that. Nothing comes inside the house and the crew member never needs a key.
When to book it
Book one visit per day you want covered, or every other day for established beds. Set the window to match your trip.

A gate code, if the pots are in the back. Never a house key; crew members don't go inside.
Your sprinkler system. We can turn a hose sprinkler on and off if you leave it set up, but we don't program irrigation.
Goes well with

Coming summer
