Company Profile

Verne Pershing The Art Of Gardening brings a uniquely artistic vision to landscape design in Placerville. After a successful 20-year career in Hollywood film and video production, Verne relocated to Placerville and established his landscape business in 2002. He applies a cinematic eye for composition and storytelling to his work, deeply inspired by traditional Japanese landscaping principles like 'Borrowed Landscape'—the art of incorporating the surrounding natural scenery into the garden design. This philosophy drives his creation of California Native Plant gardens and naturalistic water features, crafting outdoor living spaces that feel like a seamless extension of the local Sierra Foothills environment. His approach is holistic, focusing on designs that support local ecosystems and provide low-maintenance beauty for homeowners.

FAQs

How do you address common Placerville issues like tree root damage to lawns or shifting rock gardens?

We address these local challenges by focusing on foundational design and proper plant selection. For areas with aggressive tree roots, we might recommend transitioning to a more suitable groundcover or creating a beautiful, permeable dry creek bed that accommodates the roots while solving drainage and aesthetic issues. For unstable rock gardens, our construction and installation process ensures proper site preparation and secure anchoring to prevent shifting, creating a stable, lasting feature.

Can you handle both the design and the construction of my new landscape?

Yes, we provide a full-service approach. Our process begins with a custom landscape design that incorporates your vision with our expertise in California Native Plants and naturalistic features. From there, our team handles the complete landscape construction or installation, including any specialized irrigation construction or water features like ponds and waterfalls. This integrated service ensures the final result matches the design intent and is built to last.

What is your approach to irrigation design for a California Native Plant garden?

Our irrigation design services are tailored for water-wise, native landscapes. We plan efficient, zone-specific systems that meet the precise needs of drought-tolerant native plants, often incorporating drip irrigation to minimize water waste. This careful planning during the design phase not only supports plant health but also leads to lower maintenance and reduced water bills over time. We also provide ongoing irrigation repair or maintenance to keep your system running optimally.
