Frequently Asked Questions

How do you address common issues like mulch erosion and edging damage in Berkeley yards?

In Berkeley's microclimates, mulch can wash away and edging can shift. We tackle this by using locally-sourced, heavier mulch alternatives like shredded redwood or fir bark that knit together, and we install durable, deep-set edging materials such as steel or thick recycled plastic. For sloped areas, we incorporate strategic regrading and water-absorbing swales into the design to slow runoff and keep materials in place, ensuring a tidy, low-maintenance landscape.

Do you handle both the design and construction of a project?

Yes, we provide a seamless, start-to-finish service. Our process begins with a collaborative design phase where we create a detailed plan for your sustainable landscape. Then, our own skilled construction team executes the installation, which can include everything from earthmoving and irrigation to hardscaping like patios, walkways, and retaining walls. This integrated approach ensures the final build accurately reflects the design vision for a cohesive and functional outdoor space.

What does 'sustainable landscaping' mean for a typical Berkeley garden?

For us in Berkeley, it means creating a resilient system. We prioritize California native and climate-appropriate plants that need minimal water once established. We design smart irrigation zones and use water-efficient drip systems. Our construction practices focus on permeable surfaces to manage stormwater, and we build healthy soil to support plant health, reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides. The result is a beautiful garden that conserves resources, supports pollinators, and thrives with less ongoing care.
