Question Answers
What does your landscape design and installation process look like for a Berkeley home?
Our process starts with understanding your vision and your site's specific conditions. We then create a custom design focused on drought-tolerant plants like succulents, California natives, and ornamental grasses that thrive in our climate. Our licensed team handles all construction, including hardscaping, planting, and installing efficient irrigation and lighting systems, ensuring a cohesive and sustainable garden from start to finish.
How can you help with Berkeley's common issues of lawn drought stress and clogged drip irrigation?
We proactively address these local challenges. For drought stress, we often recommend transitioning thirsty lawns to beautiful, water-wise alternatives like drought-tolerant ground covers or permeable hardscapes. To prevent irrigation clogs, we design and install robust, self-flushing drip systems with proper filtration and schedule regular maintenance checks as part of our service to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently.
What is included in your ongoing garden maintenance service?
Our maintenance service is comprehensive and horticulturally focused. It includes pruning, weeding, fertilizing, and seasonal planting to keep your landscape healthy and vibrant. We also monitor and adjust your irrigation system for optimal water use, manage pest and disease issues, and care for all garden elements, including lighting. It's a tailored program to preserve the beauty and integrity of your designed space.
