Garden Maintenance for Native, Water-Smart Landscapes
Expert care for planting beds, native gardens, perennials, and seasonal color, kept healthy and in balance with Bozeman's climate.
Rated 4.8 on Google by Bozeman clientsA beautiful garden is a living system, not a one-time installation. Greenspace Landscaping maintains planting beds, native-rooted gardens, shrubs, perennials, and seasonal color with the care they need to stay healthy, intentional, and in balance with Bozeman's climate.
Our garden maintenance team understands the difference between keeping a bed tidy and helping a landscape mature. We weed, prune, deadhead, cut back, mulch, divide, refresh, and monitor plant health with an eye toward long-term performance. When a plant is struggling, we look at the real cause: water, soil, exposure, crowding, pests, winter damage, or whether the plant is the right fit for the site.

Built Around the Plants That Belong Here
Whenever possible, we guide clients toward plant choices that are right for Montana conditions: hardy, water-smart, pollinator-friendly, and suited to the property. The result is a garden that doesn't just look good on installation day, but keeps gaining character year after year.
Gardeners, Not Just Mowers
Garden care is its own trade at Greenspace, run by a dedicated garden services team rather than folded into the lawn route. Our crews know how to prune a lilac and when to cut back a native grass, and our management has completed the Montana State University Master Gardener program. That knowledge is what turns a tidy bed into a garden that matures.
What Bozeman clients say about our garden work
“Greenspace has been helping keep our beds beautiful for several years. Nina and her team do great seasonal cleanouts and have helped divide and shift perennials. This is a positive, well-run and talented group and I highly recommend them.”
“Great service. Greenspace has been cutting our lawn for a number of years, and they also help with weeding throughout the summer. We love the fall planting service for bulbs too!”
“Been with Greenspace for years and am a big fan of its services for snow removal, lawn mowing and garden maintenance. Very reliable and the employees are very pleasant.”
“Bailey did a great job on scheduling and all the work was completed in timely manner. Bravo!”
“I had Greenspace Landscaping take out my old grass this year and put in fescue...it is gorgeous. Everything they have done for me, new planter beds, new trees, patio, etc. has been exceptional, better than I ever could have imagined.”
“Simply put, we LOVE driving up our driveway and seeing the aesthetic combination of rocks, boulders and plants that greet us daily. We watched the team take time to move the pieces around until they got the right look and feel.”
“Greenspace Landscaping has done all of the hardscaping and landscaping at our house. Working with Erin and her team has been fun and professional. It has been amazing to see the growth over the last couple of years, and to watch our "mud pit" be turned into an oasis.”
“Such a great job removing some old aspens. Can't wait to hire them again for the next season!”
“The team at Greenspace is a pleasure to work with! Responsive, committed and a joy to work with. They have done one-off projects and some maintenance. Will use them again and again.”
Common questions

Lawn care is turf: mowing, edging, aeration, and overseeding. Garden maintenance is everything in the beds: weeding, pruning, deadheading, mulching, dividing perennials, seasonal planting, and keeping an eye on plant health. Greenspace runs them as two focused teams so each gets specialist attention, and many clients use both.
It depends on the garden. Some properties want a crew every week through the growing season; others need a spring cleanup, a mid-summer visit, and a fall cutback. We build the schedule around your plantings and how polished you want the beds to look.
Yes. Spring cleanups clear winter debris, cut back last year's growth, edge the beds, and refresh mulch. Fall cleanups prepare perennials and shrubs for winter, plant bulbs, and leave the garden tidy before snow.
Absolutely, and it is often the most economical way to do it. As plants age out or struggle, we replace them with natives and adapted species that suit the spot, so the garden gradually becomes hardier and thirstier for less water.
Yes. We care for planting beds, containers, and seasonal color at commercial properties around Bozeman, on a schedule that keeps the entrance looking sharp year-round.
It depends on the plant. Diseased or floppy perennials are best cut back in fall, while many grasses and seed heads can stand through winter for structure and for birds and overwintering pollinators, then get cut back in early spring before new growth. We plan cutbacks plant by plant instead of shearing everything at once.
Most shrubs and trees are best pruned in late winter or early spring while dormant, when their structure is easy to see. Spring-flowering shrubs such as lilacs bloom on last year's growth, so we prune them right after they flower to keep next year's blooms.
No plant is completely deer proof. MSU Extension recommends favoring plants deer usually avoid, such as yarrow, catmint, lavender, and junipers, fencing at least eight feet tall where deer pressure is heavy, and protecting young trees and shrubs. We use those approaches and swap out deer favorites over time.
Strong choices for the Gallatin Valley include blanketflower, bee balm, showy milkweed, nodding onion, prairie smoke, penstemon, and golden currant, many of which grow in the Montana Native Plant Society's pollinator garden at Langohr Park. We choose based on your sun, soil, and the look you want; our native plant guide has the longer list.
