Forester Landscaping - Mill Valley's Local Landscaping

For weed management in Mill Valley, we use a combination of manual removal and organic pre-emergent strategies, focusing on healthy soil to prevent regrowth. To address slope erosion, a common concern in our hilly terrain, we employ techniques like strategic planting of deep-rooted native shrubs and installing erosion control blankets. Our approach leverages organic methods and Bay-Friendly principles to stabilize soil and create a resilient, low-maintenance landscape that holds up to local conditions.

Our organic shrub care focuses on prevention and gentle intervention. For disease and insect management, we start by assessing plant health and environmental conditions, as stressed plants are more vulnerable. We then use targeted, OMRI-listed organic products and cultural practices, like proper pruning for airflow, to manage problems. As a service operated by a Master Gardener, we prioritize solutions that protect your garden's ecosystem while effectively caring for your shrubs.

Yes, we provide comprehensive shrub renovation. Our licensed team can assess and safely remove unhealthy or unwanted shrubs. We then prepare the soil with organic amendments and, following the 'right plant for the right place' principle, select and plant new shrubs suited to your Mill Valley garden's specific light, soil, and water conditions. This full-cycle service, from removal to transplanting or new planting, ensures a cohesive and sustainable upgrade to your landscape.
