Common Questions
What experience does Lakian Landscape have with San Francisco's specific irrigation challenges like dry patches and broken sprinklers?
With our California Landscape Contractor's License #972526 and extensive local experience since 2002, we regularly address San Francisco's common irrigation issues. For dry lawn patches, we assess whether the problem stems from inefficient sprinkler coverage, soil compaction, or water pressure issues, then implement solutions like zone adjustments or system upgrades. For broken sprinkler heads, we repair or replace them with durable components that withstand local conditions. Our irrigation services include design, installation, repair, and maintenance, all performed to current code standards to ensure efficient water use in our region's unique microclimates.
Can you handle both design and construction for hardscape projects like patios, retaining walls, and walkways?
Yes, we provide complete design and construction services for hardscape projects. Our team has designed and installed dozens of gardens ranging from small to large scale, including patio construction, retaining walls, walkways, and exterior wall construction. We combine fine carpentry and stonework techniques with knowledge of local regulations to create functional, durable outdoor spaces. Whether you need a simple walkway installation or complex terrace construction, we manage the entire process from initial concept through final installation.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the gardens you design and install?
Absolutely. We currently maintain 40-50 gardens throughout San Francisco and Marin, providing regular landscape maintenance services for both existing and new clients. Our maintenance approach emphasizes plant care, with special attention to the hundreds of plant species we work with, including drought-tolerant varieties well-suited to our region. This ongoing service ensures your landscape continues to thrive and allows us to address any issues promptly, from irrigation adjustments to seasonal plant care.
