Common Questions

As an Oakland homeowner dealing with lawn drought stress or a broken irrigation timer, how can you help?

We address common East Bay watering issues directly. Our irrigation services include system design, installation, repair, and maintenance. We can assess your current setup for efficiency, repair or replace faulty timers and components, and design drought-tolerant landscapes or smart irrigation systems that conserve water while keeping your garden healthy, helping you manage local water restrictions and costs.

Do you handle both the design and construction of hardscaping projects like patios and retaining walls?

Yes, we provide a complete turnkey service. Rosarie's design expertise ensures your patio, walkway, or retaining wall is both visually integrated with your garden and functionally sound. Our construction team then executes the installation with precision, using quality materials and techniques for lasting durability. This seamless process from concept to completion is a cornerstone of our service.

What sets your approach to garden design and tree care apart in the Bay Area?

Our approach is rooted in extensive local horticultural knowledge and artistic perspective. Rosarie's fine art background influences unique designs considering color and texture through the seasons, while Shane's ongoing education ensures we use current, sustainable arboricultural practices. For tree and shrub care, this means we not only prune or transplant with skill but also manage pests and diseases common to our microclimates, ensuring the long-term health of your landscape.
