Planting is where a landscape comes alive, and it’s where the wrong choices show up fastest. We install trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers selected for your microclimate — leaning on drought-tolerant natives and Mediterranean-climate plants that look full and intentional while fitting California’s water reality.
How we approach plant installation
- 01
Match plant to place
We choose species for your sun, soil, and water — not just what looks good at the nursery.
- 02
Prep the soil
Amended, well-draining soil gives roots what they need to establish.
- 03
Plant & mulch
Correct spacing and depth, then mulch to hold moisture and cut weeds.
What’s included
Drought-tolerant & native
Water-wise palettes built around California natives and Mediterranean plants.
Trees & foundation planting
Shade trees and structural shrubs that anchor the design.
Seasonal color
Perennials and groundcovers for texture and year-round interest.
Plant Installation — common questions
Which plants work best in the Bay Area?
Our climate favors drought-tolerant natives and Mediterranean-climate plants — but the right list depends on your exact sun, soil, and slope, which we assess before planting.
Will new plantings survive water restrictions?
Yes, when they’re chosen for it. A water-wise palette on drip irrigation establishes well and stays healthy through dry summers and restrictions.
