RSC Landscape - Berkeley's Experienced Landscaping

Tree root damage is a common challenge in Berkeley due to our mature tree canopy. We address this by first assessing the tree's health and the extent of the root interference. Solutions can range from strategic root pruning (done with care to preserve tree health) to redesigning the impacted area. We might install a permeable root-friendly paving system for pathways or create a dedicated mulched bed around the tree base, turning a problem area into a designed landscape feature that protects both your tree and your usable lawn space.

Yes, we offer integrated design and construction services. Our team includes skilled designers who work closely with our construction crews. This means the vision for your new patio, retaining wall, or full garden renovation is carried through from the initial concept to the final installation by the same coordinated company. This seamless process, rooted in our long history of craftsmanship, helps prevent miscommunication, ensures quality control, and results in a finished project that truly matches the initial plan.

For Berkeley's specific microclimates and water conservation goals, we recommend a modern, efficient irrigation system. Our services include design, installation, repair, and maintenance. We focus on creating zones based on plant water needs and sun exposure, using drip irrigation for beds and water-efficient sprinklers for lawns. We can also integrate smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather data, which helps conserve water and comply with local regulations, all while keeping your landscape healthy.
