Plenty

read moreOur construction always features design details that promote your garden's beauty and longevity, with an emphasis on 'productive' elements: fruit trees, berries, vines and kitchen gardens. We also perform lawn conversions, and utilize California natives and other drought tolerant plants. Our view is that garden structures create a framework, but it is careful plant section and care that transforms a landscape into living-and delicious-art. GrowPlenty gardens are water-wise, Bay-Friendly and 'cosmopolitan'-utilizing botanical treasures from around the world.

Although we take pride in our construction craftsmanship, our philosophy is that a well chosen fruit tree is a more beautiful design element than anything we can build. Other contractors promote hardscape ' features such as outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, waterfalls. Alas, these are often not used anywhere near as much as one would hope. And indeed, all gardens require some construction-the very origin of the word tells us that gardens are enclosed!

Pruning and cleanup are done almost entirely by hand, making us a low noise service. This give the gardens were care for a loose, natural feel. We also LOVE to do garden restoration. A few days of skilled pruning, cleanup and mulching can transform a neglected garden. We also do irrigation audits, tuneups and repair. Winterizing involves pruning, turning over soil, lifting and relaying irrigation lines, and mulching.

Our motto is, anything built with wood should last as long as the tree was old. Our patios and walkways utilize locally quarried stone, brick and concrete pavers wherever possible. We favor permeable design with bio-swales for on-site dispersal of rainwater.

GrowPlenty begins with thorough site analysis, including GPS, climate and soil data, then balances these parameters with your desires and budget. By listening carefully to the homeowner, we can propose landscape solutions tailored to your dreams and practical needs. Correctly pruned fruit trees produce the best quality fruit. But because cuts are made for function, not aesthetics, few homeowners or even professional gardeners take the trouble to learn how.
