Design, build, plant, diagnose, maintain and teach. We work across Beppu, Oita City, Yufu, Hiji and Kitsuki — on balconies, courtyards, orchards, café terraces, school plots and community farms.
Every price below is a genuine starting point, not a teaser. Your written quote itemises labour, materials and plants separately.
We will not sell you a treatment before we have identified the problem. Sometimes the answer is "water it differently", and that is free.
Chemical intervention only after an organic programme has genuinely failed, and only with your written agreement.
Maintenance contracts are monthly rolling. If you would rather run it yourself, we will teach you how.
Prices are starting points for the Beppu / Oita City area. Sites further out carry a travel supplement, quoted before we begin.
Our base is the garden at Uchikamado in Beppu. Standard rates apply anywhere in the towns below; beyond that we quote a travel supplement openly rather than folding it into the job price.
| Area | Travel | Typical response |
|---|---|---|
| Beppu City | Included | Same week |
| Oita City | Included | Same week |
| Yufu (Yufuin) | Included | 2–5 days |
| Hiji & Kitsuki | Included | 3–7 days |
| Rest of Oita Prefecture | Quoted | 1–2 weeks |
| Online consultation | Anywhere | 48 hours |
Trees are where bad gardening does the most lasting damage. Here is exactly how we approach them.
Young trees are shaped over their first five years so they never need major surgery later. Mature trees get crown thinning, lifting or reduction — never topping, which is the fastest way to kill a tree slowly.
A wilting tree has maybe eight plausible causes and only one right treatment. We check root flare depth, soil moisture at depth, bark for lesions and galleries, and leaf pattern before naming anything.
Identify, then treat the least amount necessary. Neem, horticultural oils, biologicals and beneficial insect releases come first; targeted chemistry only if those genuinely fail.
Treatment stops the damage; recovery needs feeding. We match the booster to the actual deficit rather than reaching for a general fertiliser.
What we will do, what we will not, and what it costs — before we start.
Before and after images sent after every visit, so you can check work you did not see.
Composted at the garden wherever it is healthy; diseased material disposed of separately.
A printed month-by-month schedule for exactly what we planted at your site.
Include the rough area and what the space faces. We reply within one working day.
Call the office during working hours and describe the problem. Most questions get answered on the phone.
