Q&A

How can you help with Berkeley's common lawn drought stress and dry patches?

We address these issues with a dual approach focused on long-term resilience. First, we can assess and repair or upgrade your irrigation system for maximum efficiency, ensuring water reaches where it's needed. More fundamentally, we specialize in transitioning water-thirsty lawns to beautiful, drought-tolerant landscapes using native and adapted plants that require far less water. This not only solves dry patches but creates a healthier, lower-maintenance garden suited to our local climate.

What does your 'small-scale food system' design and installation include?

Our food system designs turn your backyard into a productive space. This can range from installing raised vegetable beds and companion planting layouts to integrating fruit trees and perennial shrubs. For those interested in advanced systems, we have experience installing home aquaponics systems, which combine fish cultivation and plant growing in a recirculating ecosystem. Every design is based on Permaculture principles, aiming for a sustainable, low-input food source tailored to your space and goals.

Do you handle structural projects like patios and retaining walls in addition to planting?

Yes, we provide full-service landscape construction. Our team is skilled in building the 'bones' of your outdoor space, including patios, terraces, walkways, and both interior and exterior retaining walls. This integrated approach means we can design and build the entire project—from the structural hardscaping to the final planting and irrigation—ensuring a cohesive, functional, and beautiful result that fits Berkeley's varied topography.
