Geologic Landscapes: Expert Landscapers Serving San Francisco, CA 94112

Absolutely. Irrigation timer failures and system issues are frequent here, often due to controller age, wiring problems, or valve malfunctions. We start with a thorough inspection of your timer, wiring, valves, and sprinkler heads. We can repair the existing system or, if it's outdated, install a new, water-efficient smart irrigation system designed for our local climate. This precise watering is key to reviving dead turf areas and maintaining a healthy landscape while conserving water.

It depends on the cause. Often, dead patches result from poor drainage or compacted soil common in the city. We'll assess the site through earthmoving and regrading to ensure proper slope and drainage. For true lawn areas, we may recommend a full renovation with soil amendment and installing a turf variety suited for San Francisco's fog and clay soils. For other areas, we might propose a sustainable greenscape design with native, drought-tolerant plants that are easier to maintain.

Yes, we handle such integrated projects regularly. A common solution is to construct a permeable paver patio or walkway that allows water to drain through, combined with building a retaining wall and regrading the adjacent garden area to direct water away from the house and prevent sogginess. This combines our masonry expertise with landscape construction to solve drainage issues and create a beautiful, functional hardscape that enhances your outdoor living space.
