FireSafe Landscaping
We create defensible spaces using fire-resistant plants and strategic hardscaping to protect properties from wildfire threats. Our approach includes removing dead vegetation, spacing shrubs and trees appropriately, and installing irrigation systems that maintain plant health during dry periods. These practices reduce fire risk while preserving landscape aesthetics.
Sustainable Garden Design
Our designs integrate native plants, drip irrigation, and organic soil amendments to minimize water use and chemical inputs. We focus on creating habitats that support pollinators and beneficial wildlife while ensuring long-term ecological balance. Each project emphasizes resource efficiency and environmental harmony.
Vineyard Installation
We specialize in establishing vineyards with drought-tolerant grape varieties suited to local climates. Our services include site preparation, trellis system installation, and irrigation planning to optimize vine health and yield. We prioritize sustainable viticulture practices that align with organic farming standards.

We install automated drip irrigation and soil moisture sensors to deliver precise water amounts where needed. This technology reduces waste by adapting to weather conditions and plant requirements, ensuring landscapes thrive with minimal water consumption while maintaining optimal hydration.

Report
They manage our landscaping in Novato at the Western Oaks Village Association and do a terrible job! They put crappy untreated wood chips in our grass and planting areas and didn't put any plastic down and now we have 3 foot weeds growing from those areas! I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!
