Questions and Answers
My Novato lawn has persistent dead patches. Can you help, and what's your approach?
Absolutely. Dead turf areas in Novato often stem from compacted soil, improper irrigation, or local pest issues. Our Certified Irrigation Auditors first conduct a thorough audit of your watering system to identify inefficiencies. We then assess soil health and may recommend aeration or organic amendments. As Certified Bay Friendly Landscapers, we prioritize solutions that conserve water and restore lawn health sustainably, avoiding harsh chemicals. Our ongoing maintenance plans are designed to prevent these issues from recurring.
We're interested in a new patio and retaining wall. Does Heritage Landscapes handle the design and construction?
Yes, we provide a seamless service from initial design to final construction. Founder Jan Gross, an award-winning designer and landscape artist, will work with you to create a custom plan that complements your home's architecture and your personal style. Our licensed construction team then expertly handles the installation of patios, terraces, and retaining walls, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship built to last in the Marin County climate. We manage the entire project for you.
Do you offer ongoing care for shrubs and planted areas after a new landscape is installed?
We do. Our comprehensive landscape maintenance services ensure your investment remains healthy and beautiful.

We tailor our care to the specific needs of your plants and Marin's microclimates, following the sustainable practices that earned us our Bay Friendly and Green Business certifications.
