About Us

Wise Hands started in 2019 with the idea that unique, intelligently designed, and ecologically friendly landscapes need regular care by people who know plants. We now offer one-of-a-kind landscape designs using Florida native plants, installation services, restoration work and invasive plant control, and Pinellas County public lands tree planting.

Rooted in natural landscapes, our maintenance services include weeding; pruning for health, vigor and aesthetics; and small plantings. We also operate a sister company, Wise Hands Native Nursery, which focuses on growing rare native plants for wholesale buyers. We nourish truly beautiful and unique landscapes with the expertise they need to thrive. Our mission is to create and maintain natural landscapes, Florida native plantings, and wildlife gardens and to help grow a movement toward a synergy between the human and natural environments for the benefit of both. 

As Florida’s natural resources continue to be developed, Wise Hands’ mission becomes ever more critical. As we lose these natural spaces, they are likely lost forever, and we wholeheartedly support wildlands conservation. Alongside this challenge, urban areas and neighborhoods have the opportunity to not only be less taxing on local ecosystems, but to actually provide wildlife habitat, water purification, pollinator support, and so much more. 

Owners Stefan and Malory Babjak, along with their talented crew, can help make your space a place you love to be in and observe for all the life there. 

Our passion and knowledge base is rooted in native plants. We believe in the power of planting native for wildlife habitat, ecosystem health, connectivity, and sense of place.

Services

Native Landscape Design

Our process starts with a design consultation to walk the property, identify your site conditions, listen to your goals and get a sense of what we could create for you. We will quote your landscape design based on the consultation, create the design, present it to you, make revisions, and then quote the install and maintenance.

Native Landscape Maintenance

Our knowledable team takes care of many beautiful native yards. Our maintenance tasks include: assessing the health of your plants; weeding; pruning for health, vigor and aesthetics; removing any litter; applying much; and small plantings.

Consultation and Plant Identification

We offer a one-hour consultation to walk your property with you and provide advice on your landscape. During the consultation, we can identify your plants and trees and let you know if they are native, Florida friendly, or invasive. We can provide ideas to solve your landscape challenges and provide step by step solutions. We then follow up with an emailed report detailing our recommendations and information about the plants you have or the ones we'd recommend. While this service does not include design, we can provide general ideas and plant suggestions.

Landscape Installation

Already have a design? We are happy to be your installers. With experience in plant and debris removal with equipment, we can get the job prepped and completed.

Wild Lands Management & Habitat Restoration

Our process starts with a design consultation to walk the property, identify your site conditions, listen to your goals and get a sense of what we could create for you. We will quote your landscape design based on the consultation, create the design, present it to you, make revisions, and then quote the install and maintenance.

Education & Speaking Engagements

We are excited to spread the word about the benefits of native plants at your gathering. Please get in touch for details. It has taken us years to acquire our knowledge and we spend good time preparing for our presentations, so if possible, honorariums are appreciated.
