FAQs

What are the best plants for San Francisco yards to prevent heat stress?

We recommend drought-tolerant and native plants like Ceanothus (California Lilac), Manzanita, and succulents that are adapted to our local microclimates. These plants require less water, resist sun scorch, and support local pollinators, creating a resilient and beautiful garden that thrives with minimal intervention.

How can I improve drainage in my sloped San Francisco garden?

Effective solutions for sloped gardens include installing French drains, creating dry creek beds, and using terraced planting beds with well-draining soil. We assess your specific site to design a system that redirects water away from foundations and prevents soil erosion, protecting your landscape's integrity.

Can you design a low-maintenance landscape that handles both sun and shade areas?

Absolutely. We create customized planting plans that group plants with similar light and water needs. For sunny, hot spots, we use sun-loving, drought-resistant varieties. For shaded, cooler areas, we select appropriate shade-tolerant plants. This zoning approach, combined with efficient irrigation, ensures every part of your garden is healthy and easy to care for.
