FAQs
How does Green's Gardens approach common Berkeley issues like overwatering and poor lawn drainage?
We see these issues frequently in Berkeley. Our approach starts with a thorough assessment of your irrigation system and soil grading. For overwatering, we can redesign or repair your irrigation to deliver water more efficiently, often saving water and improving plant health. For poor grading that leads to soggy areas, we provide solutions like regrading or installing French drains to redirect water away from lawns and foundations, protecting your landscape and home.
What is your process for designing and installing a new landscape or garden?
Our landscape design and construction service begins with understanding your vision and the specific conditions of your Berkeley property. Leveraging our formal horticultural education and decades of local experience, we create a design that is both beautiful and sustainable, selecting plants well-suited to the East Bay climate. Our installation team then brings the plan to life with precision, handling everything from hardscaping and shrub planting to setting up a efficient, custom irrigation system.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the gardens you install or design?
Absolutely. We believe a garden is a living system that thrives with consistent, knowledgeable care. Our maintenance services cover all aspects of garden upkeep, including the aesthetic pruning we specialize in, shrub care, disease and insect management using non-toxic products, irrigation maintenance, and seasonal clean-ups. This ensures the landscape we build for you remains healthy and beautiful for years to come.
