Question Answers
How do you prevent rock gardens from shifting on Berkeley's hillsides?
Shifting is common due to our soil and slopes. We prevent it by first assessing drainage and soil composition, then using proper edging, geotextile fabric, and strategic placement of larger anchor stones to create a stable, interlocking base that withstands erosion and movement.
What are the best plants for heat stress in a Berkeley garden?
We recommend California native and Mediterranean plants like Manzanita, Ceanothus, and Lavender, which are adapted to our dry summers. They require less water, resist heat stress, and support local ecology. Proper mulching and watering schedules are also key to their resilience.
Can you help design a low-maintenance, drought-resistant landscape for my home?
Absolutely. We specialize in creating beautiful, water-wise landscapes using native plants, efficient irrigation like drip systems, and permeable hardscaping. This approach reduces water use, minimizes maintenance, and ensures your garden thrives in Berkeley's climate while conserving resources.
