On a September morning in 1999, I awoke to discover a jug of herbicide had spilled out of the back of my work truck, down our driveway and into the base of a beautiful California pepper tree. I frantically hosed the Roundup off the tree roots, creating a sea of foam that confirmed my worst suspicions: I had poisoned the tree.

We hired Equinox to refresh the landscaping on a home we own in Rohnert Park. The results are just what we wanted! They rebuilt a sagging retaining wall, laid down fresh weed cloth, mulch and rocks and were very knowledgable when helping us choose new plants. They did a great job with the drip irrigation system, so now we have a low maintenance, low-water landscape that will look even better when the young plants mature. Very nice people and easy to work with. Thank you Equinox!

Equinox designed and installed a modest permaculture front yard garden for us in Santa Rosa in late summer 2015. This included a berm and catchment basin system for rainwater off the roof. Their workers did beautiful hardscape work (path, fence, porch modification) and were respectful and tidy. However, although we had stated our expenditure limit, the project supervisor and designer constantly added on costs for all kinds of things, including mysterious processing fees, pushing the cost up.

Even worse, it turned out that the catchment system did not catch much of anything because they had neglected to determine that most of the rainwater actually flowed off the roof to the back yard rather than the front. Also, the planting design that they gave us (we did our own planting) did not conform with the way that they actually structured the basins and planting areas, so that we ended up having to figure out where best to plant things ourselves, rendering the design virtually useless, although it was quite costly.

In fact, many of the plants that they suggested for our difficult site (we have a walnut tree which exudes toxins which inhibit growth in many plants) were from a list that I provided to them from my own extensive web search on juglone tolerant plants. So what did I pay them for? A plan that didn't really work. Perhaps we were considered too small a job to be worthy of special care. Customer beware! What they quote you will not be the end price and what they give you may not be worth much.
