Common Questions

How do you address common Fairfax irrigation problems like patchy sprinkler coverage and plant heat stress?

For Fairfax properties, we start with a thorough irrigation system evaluation to identify coverage gaps and inefficiencies. Our design services focus on creating zones suited to the specific water needs of native California plants, which are naturally more drought and heat tolerant. We can repair or upgrade existing systems and often incorporate drip irrigation in planting beds for targeted watering, reducing waste and stress on your plants. Proper grading and drainage work, like installing French drains, also ensures water is distributed effectively and doesn't pool or run off, protecting your landscape's health.

What are the benefits of using native California plants in my Marin County landscape?

Native gardens are a smart, sustainable choice for our local climate. These plants are adapted to Marin's conditions, making them naturally drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and resistant to local pests like deer. Beyond saving water and reducing upkeep, they help your property blend seamlessly with the local ecology, supporting pollinators and birds. Elliott Land Management has extensive experience selecting and installing the right native species for your specific site, ensuring a beautiful, resilient landscape that thrives with minimal intervention.

Can you handle both the hardscape construction and the planting for a full backyard project?

Yes, we manage all phases of a project from start to finish. Our team handles the demolition, earthmoving, and construction of elements like decks, patios, retaining walls, and walkways. Once the hardscape is in place, we seamlessly move into the softscape phase, which includes landscape design, planting native gardens, and installing a tailored irrigation system. This integrated approach, overseen by one team, ensures cohesive design, efficient workflow, and a single point of responsibility for your entire outdoor living space.
