Soil Health Improvements
Balanced soil encourages a lasting landscape, allowing plants to develop a strong root system that enables them to withstand inconsistent rainfall and temperatures. By performing a soil analysis and assessing your yard’s microclimates, our horticultural experts can include the ideal soil amendments and treatments to improve moisture retention and drainage. This may consist of compost, mulch, manure, mycorrhizal fungi, and other organic matter for moisture retention, and coarse compost, fine gravel, pumice, and aeration for improved drainage and plant health.
Waterwise Landscape Design and Irrigation
Every Bay Area landscape we design includes a water-wise irrigation system to keep your garden thriving effortlessly and protect your landscaping investment. We offer popular drip irrigation, rain sensors, and leak detection equipment, along with the latest smart irrigation technology and Wi-Fi-enabled controllers. Our expertly designed systems adapt in real time based on rainfall and soil moisture and monitor for leaks, reducing water waste, and ensuring plants receive exactly the moisture they need.
