Common Questions

As a San Clemente homeowner dealing with weeds and tree roots damaging my lawn, how can your landscaping design help?

Our permaculture approach addresses these issues by redesigning the landscape as a resilient system. Instead of a high-maintenance lawn, we might design a native garden or food forest with deep-rooted plants that outcompete weeds and stabilize soil. For tree root zones, we use strategies like strategic mulching and creating dedicated growing beds that work with the roots, not against them, eliminating damage and reducing ongoing maintenance.

What is included in your landscape design and irrigation design services?

Our comprehensive design services create a cohesive plan for your entire outdoor space. The landscape design covers the layout of plants, hardscapes, and features like food forests or native gardens. Our irrigation design is integral to this, focusing on water efficiency through systems like drip irrigation zones for different plant needs, and often incorporating rainwater harvesting or gray water conversion to maximize every drop, which is crucial in our Southern California climate.

Do you handle the construction of the landscapes you design?

Yes, as a full-service firm, we provide landscaping building design and oversee the installation. This means we can manage your project from the initial permaculture concept through to completion, ensuring the sustainable systems we plan—like rainwater harvesting basins or food forest installations—are built correctly and will thrive for years to come.
