Our landscape installation goes beyond simply planting. We start with a design rooted in permaculture and sustainable practices, selecting native and edible plants proven to thrive in our coastal climate. The service includes proper soil preparation with local compost, careful planting of your chosen specimens—from fruit trees to pollinator-friendly perennials—and can incorporate functional elements like rain gardens or edible hedges. We ensure each installation is built to last and become a resilient, productive part of your yard.

Absolutely. Dying shrubs and damaged edging are common issues here, often due to soil conditions, drainage, or pest pressure. We begin with a landscape analysis to diagnose the root cause. For shrubs, we may recommend soil amendments, proper pruning, or replacement with hardier native varieties. For edging, we repair or install durable, natural solutions that complement your garden's design and withstand our humid environment. Our maintenance plans are designed to prevent these problems from recurring.
