Q&A

Can you help fix dry patches in my Palo Alto lawn or a clogged drip irrigation system?

Absolutely. Dry patches and clogged drip lines are common issues in our local soil and water conditions. Our irrigation repair and maintenance service starts with a detailed assessment of your system's design and performance. We clear clogs, repair or replace emitters, and adjust zoning to ensure even water distribution that matches your plant's needs. We often recommend and install upgrades, like filtration systems or pressure regulators, to prevent future clogs and promote efficient water use, which is especially important for drought-tolerant and native landscapes.

What does your ecological landscape design process involve for a residential property?

Our process begins with understanding your vision, site conditions, and lifestyle. We conduct a property survey and assess soil, drainage, and microclimates. Drawing on a Masters in Horticulture and deep knowledge of California natives, we create a custom design plan that prioritizes sustainability. This includes selecting drought-tolerant plants, planning efficient irrigation zones, and integrating functional elements like patios or retaining walls. As a licensed design-build contractor, we then seamlessly handle the construction and installation, ensuring the final landscape is both beautiful and ecologically sound for years to come.

Do you handle both hardscaping projects like patios and ongoing landscape maintenance?

Yes, we provide a complete range of services. As a licensed C-27 landscape contractor, our team manages hardscape construction—including patios, walkways, and retaining walls—with precision and an eye for sustainable materials. Following installation, our ecological maintenance service ensures your investment thrives. This includes specialized shrub care, pruning, disease management, and adjusting irrigation systems. Our integrated approach means the team that understands your landscape's design is also responsible for its long-term health and beauty, offering consistent, knowledgeable care.
