Question Answers
Can you help with slope erosion in my Tiburon yard?
Yes, absolutely. Erosion control is a common concern for Tiburon's varied topography. We address this by using techniques like strategic regrading and constructing retaining walls designed to stabilize the soil. More importantly, we employ ecological solutions, such as planting deep-rooted native plants and creating naturalized greenscapes that hold the earth in place, manage water runoff, and restore the local habitat. This approach solves the erosion problem while building a resilient, low-maintenance landscape.
What sets your landscape design approach apart?
Our co-founder Roger Raiche is a leading expert on California native plants and has introduced many unique species to horticulture. This deep botanical knowledge, combined with David McCrory's licensed construction and spatial design skills, allows us to create truly unique gardens. We don't just install plants; we craft ecologically sound environments using unusual and sustainable specimens. Our work, which has been award-winning and featured in publications, is built on integrating sound ecological principles with personalized artistic design.
Do you handle both the design and construction of a project?
Yes, we are a full-service design-build studio. This means our team handles everything from the initial landscape design and irrigation planning to the final construction, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Having our licensed contractor on staff ensures that the artistic vision is executed with precision, from patio and walkway installation to complex earthmoving, retaining walls, and specialty shrub and tree care. This integrated process provides a seamless experience and consistent quality for our clients.
