Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design process begins with a consultation to understand client vision and site conditions. We create customized plans balancing aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. Services include preliminary sketches, master plans with plant selections, and detailed hardscape specifications for residential and commercial properties.
Landscape Installation
We handle complete landscape installation from demolition to final planting. Services include hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls), irrigation systems, drought-tolerant turf replacement, and planting of California native species. Our team ensures proper grading, drainage, and material selection for long-term durability.
Home Organics
Home Organics specializes in custom organic vegetable gardens and orchards. We design raised beds using chemical-free cedar, implement efficient irrigation systems, and provide ongoing maintenance. Services include seasonal planting, composting, pest management, and soil amendments for sustainable food production.
Landscape Staging
Landscape staging improves curb appeal for property sales. We analyze existing conditions, implement cost-effective upgrades like fresh sod and strategic plantings, and optimize lighting to highlight property features. This service helps homes sell faster while maintaining budget constraints.
Consulting Services
Hourly landscape consulting available for DIY homeowners and gardeners. Services include site analysis, plant selection guidance, irrigation troubleshooting, and maintenance planning. We offer customized solutions for water efficiency, soil health, and aesthetic improvements without full design plans.
