Gutierrez Tree Service and Landscapes - Brentwood's Experienced Landscapers

Proper landscape design is the first line of defense against erosion. We design and install features like retaining walls, terraces, and strategic plantings of deep-rooted native shrubs and trees. These elements work together to slow water runoff, hold soil in place, and create a stable, beautiful hillside that protects your property's foundation and value.

Soil compaction is common here and starves roots of air and water. Our solution starts with vertical mulching (aeration) around trees and in planting beds to break up the soil. We then follow with proper shrub and tree care, including targeted fertilization and a consistent watering schedule, to encourage deep, healthy root growth that can penetrate the improved soil structure.

The most effective method is a combination of strategic planting and construction. We install erosion control blankets and use plants like Manzanita or Ceanothus, which are native to our area and have extensive root systems. Our shrub planting and transplanting services place these hardy plants in key locations to create a living net that holds the soil, complemented by professional tree planting for added stability and shade.
