The Garden Story

One garden, four seasons of work.

Every Canopy & Clover garden begins the same way — a tired yard, honestly seen. Scroll, and watch this one come back to life.

An overgrown backyard garden before restoration

As we found it

Overgrown, patchy, and tired — a good oak, and not much else. We start by listening: light, water, soil, and what the owners actually want to feel out here.

The same garden cleared, with fresh soil beds prepared

II.

Cleared & prepared

Weeds out, edges cut, beds shaped and filled with rich soil. The bones of the garden appear — and the oak finally gets room to be the centerpiece.

The same garden newly planted with young plants and saplings

III.

Planted, on purpose

Young planting goes in by layer — canopy, structure, flower, groundcover — each plant placed for the size it will become, not the size it is today.

The same garden fully established and flowering at golden hour

IV.

Established canopy

A season of tending later: shade where you want it, flowers where you see them, and a lawn like a green room outdoors. This is the part we maintain, year after year.

About the Studio

A small crew that gardens like it matters — because it does.

Canopy & Clover is a garden-led landscaping studio founded by lead gardener Mara Ellison in 2017. We are gardeners first and a lawn crew second — which is why our yards keep getting better instead of just getting mowed.

We work the way gardens actually grow: in layers, in seasons, and by hand. One small crew designs, plants, and tends — so the person who chose your fern is the person who checks on it in August.

Treasure Coast gardens, from Vero Beach to Stuart, tended as if they were our own — because for a few hours each week, they are.

Services

Everything a garden needs, under one canopy

Three signature services, and the full index of care behind them. Take one, or hand us the whole garden.

Fresh mowing stripes across an emerald lawn

No. 1

Lawn, Kept Properly

Mowing, edging, and blowing on a steady rhythm — stripes straight, edges crisp, clippings gone. A lawn that reads as cared-for from the street.

Hands spreading fresh mulch around flowering plants in a garden bed

No. 2

Planting & Beds

Layered planting design, fresh mulch, and flowering beds built for Treasure Coast heat — color in every season, not just spring.

Pruning shears resting on a neatly trimmed hedge beneath a palm

No. 3

Trimming & Palms

Hedges shaped, shrubs opened to the light, palms cleaned and safe. The detail work that makes the whole garden look intentional.

Garden Design

A planting plan drawn for your light, soil, and the way you live outdoors.

Mow, edge, blow, and seasonal feeding on a reliable schedule.

How It Works

From first walk to first bloom

Walk the Garden

We meet in your yard — light, soil, trouble spots, and the feeling you're after.

Draw the Plan

A layered planting plan and a clear, plain-English proposal. No pressure, no jargon.

Plant & Shape

Our crew clears, plants, mulches, and edges — the transformation, handled end to end.

Tend the Seasons

We return on rhythm all year, so the garden compounds in beauty instead of slipping back.

Kind Words

Neighbors, in their words

“They didn't just clean up our yard — they gave us a garden we actually sit in. Every month it looks better than the month before.”

Elena R. · Vero Beach

“One crew for the lawn, the beds, and the palms, and a lead gardener who remembers every plant by name. That's the whole review.”

The Harrington Family · Stuart
