All Edibles: Local Landscaping Serving Berkeley, CA

Absolutely. We specialize in diagnosing the root cause of dead turf, which in Berkeley is often due to compacted soil, poor drainage, or inefficient sprinkler coverage. Instead of just patching the grass, we offer sustainable solutions like replacing problem areas with drought-resistant native ground covers or creating productive edible garden beds that thrive with less water and eliminate those unsightly brown spots for good.

We start with a comprehensive irrigation audit of your Berkeley property to identify coverage gaps and inefficiencies. Our solution often involves redesigning and upgrading the system for precision watering, or better yet, transitioning water-intensive turf areas to climate-appropriate planting zones. By installing drip irrigation for edible gardens and drought-tolerant plants, we ensure every part of your landscape gets the right amount of water, saving you money and conserving a vital local resource.

Many edible plants are perfectly suited for Berkeley's climate and conserve water. We often recommend perennial herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage, along with fruiting shrubs like blueberries (in acidic soil) or fig trees. For sunny spots, drought-tolerant vegetables like artichokes, Swiss chard, and certain tomato varieties are excellent choices. We'll design a layout that groups plants with similar water needs, maximizing your harvest while minimizing irrigation—a perfect fix for those former dead lawn areas.
