Caring for your yard & garden, every season.

For years I cared for elders at Sienna Crest. Now I help older and busy neighbors with the weeding, watering, planting, raking, and snow — and just about anything else around the place.

Waking the garden up

After a long Wisconsin winter, the beds need clearing and the planting can begin. I get everything ready for the season ahead.

Keeping it thriving

The busy middle of the season — the bending, kneeling, hauling work that gets harder with the years. I keep it looking its best while you enjoy it.

Meet Mariah

Hi, I’m Mariah.

For years I cared for the elderly at Sienna Crest, and I’m carrying that same patient, attentive care into this next chapter — looking after your garden, flowers, yard, and honestly just about anything you can think of. If what you need isn’t on the list, please reach out anyway — I’ll always be honest about what I can and can’t do. (I’m a friendly helping hand — not a licensed contractor or a personal-care provider — but I’ll gladly point you toward the right person for those.) I’d be so glad to help.

Simple, honest pricing

A fair price, agreed together

No two yards are the same — one neighbor has a small flower bed, another has a big garden and a long driveway. So instead of one-size-fits-all pricing, I look at what you actually need, talk it through with you, and agree on a price that feels fair before any work begins.

1Tell me what you needBig or small, I’ll look at the whole picture with you.
2A clear, fair priceI tell you up front — no pressure, no surprises.
3The price is the priceWhat I tell you is what you pay. That’s it.

It’s always free to ask. Tell me about your yard and I’ll give you a clear price.

For peace of mind: I’ll never ask for payment by gift card or wire transfer, or before you’ve agreed to the work and the price. If anyone claiming to be me does, please call (608) 341-7826 to check.

Good to know

Questions folks often ask

Can I arrange help for my mom, dad, or someone else?
Of course — a lot of my calls come from sons and daughters arranging help for a parent. Just reach out with their name and what they need, and I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
How much does it cost?
Every yard and task is a little different, so I’ll always give you a clear price before any work begins. Asking is completely free, and there’s never any obligation.
Which towns do you serve?
Darlington and the nearby towns — Gratiot, Wiota, Argyle, Calamine, Belmont, Shullsburg and around. Not sure if you’re in range? Just ask, and if I can’t help I’ll try to point you to someone who can.
What kinds of things can you help with?
Weeding, watering, planting, mowing, raking, snow, and plenty of small tasks around the home. If what you need isn’t on the list, ask anyway — I’ll always be honest about what I can and can’t do.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Whatever’s most comfortable for you. Some folks like to be there and chat, others leave a note and a key. I’ll figure out what works best with you. If you’d rather not be home, that’s fine — I never keep a key any longer than the visit.
How do I get started?
Call or text me, or send a quick request from this page. I’ll get back to you to confirm a day and a fair price — and that’s it. No apps, no accounts, no fuss.
