Our Landscape Design Process

Our selection of plants offer supportive nutrients to the soil and attract beneficial insects that eat plant pests. They also generate natural mulch, which is water retentive, weed suppressive, and conditions the soil over time. Delicious edible plants and herbs can be chosen for your garden to assist in promoting your health and vitality.

Drought Tolerant Native California plants help restore the natural local habitat and reduce the need for continuous irrigation in your garden. Other water conserving strategies include installing drip irrigation, grey water and rain catchment systems. They are directly applied as on-site irrigation for your garden. By reducing your garden’s water usage, we can effectively lower your expenses and preserve this precious resource.

Whenever possible we use reclaimed and sustainably harvested wood for building fences, decks, and all other structures and present you with options for alternatives to wood. When available we build with reclaimed stone or brick. When we do purchase raw materials we seek out local manufacturers and vendors.
