Landscapers Chico CA | Call Southern Landscape

Proper construction is key. We address Chico's specific conditions by preparing the soil bed correctly, installing quality edging to contain mulch, and using erosion-control fabrics where needed. For installation, we often recommend and use stabilized mulch products or decorative aggregates that interlock, resisting washout during heavy rains to keep your landscape looking fresh and reducing maintenance.

A successful design for our area plans for stability from the start. Our designs incorporate proper site grading for drainage, select the right size and type of rock (like heavier river rock or crusher fines, and incorporates proper base preparation and strategic placement. Our greenscape design service focuses on creating stable, tiered layouts or using larger, interlocking rocks with a secure gravel base, ensuring your rock garden stays perfectly in place season after season.

They work hand-in-hand, but starting with a professional design is crucial. Our design phase allows us to analyze your property's drainage and soil, creating a tailored plan that specifies the right materials and construction techniques—like graded swales or retaining walls—to manage water flow. We then execute that plan through precise greenscape construction, ensuring the built solution effectively prevents the mulch loss and shifting you commonly see around Chico.
