Outside Collective | Reliable Landscapers in Berkeley, CA

Our irrigation design service focuses on creating efficient, resilient systems suited for Berkeley's specific conditions. We design layouts that minimize clogging risks through proper filtration and zoning, and specify reliable, modern controllers to help prevent timer failures. The detailed drawings we provide ensure your installer can implement a system that conserves water and requires less troubleshooting over time.

We start by understanding your site, budget, and vision—whether it's a succulent-focused greenscape or a low-water edible garden. Using your home's architecture and Berkeley's microclimate as a guide, we create schematic drawings for planning, followed by detailed construction drawings. This process ensures your final landscape is both beautiful and practical, with plant selections and layouts that reduce water use and maintenance.

Construction administration means we help manage the build phase after the design is complete. For Berkeley projects, this includes assisting with material selection, coordinating custom fabrications, and troubleshooting on-site challenges—like integrating rainwater harvesting or navigating deer-resistant plantings. We act as your advocate to help the construction align with the design intent, aiming for a smoother process from start to finish.
