About
Limited roster • Referral-built • Discreet by design
The Key Gardener provides founder-led outdoor stewardship for coastal estates in Sarasota and along the Gulf Coast. We work quietly, by referral, and with a systems-first approach to plant health, irrigation performance, and long-term property care.

Founder-Led, Systems-First
This work is personal. Priorities are set on arrival based on what the property is actually doing—not a rigid checklist. Our focus is the root zone, water performance, coastal exposure, and the details that keep a landscape looking effortless.
A Life in Outdoor Work
I’ve spent 35+ years building hands-on experience across mowing and maintenance, nurseries, irrigation, soils, plant health, and coastal properties. That range matters on estate landscapes, where symptoms are rarely caused by one simple thing
