For over twelve years, we've helped homeowners and small businesses across the East Bay turn neglected yards into considered, low-maintenance landscapes. Whether you want a drought-tolerant native garden, a productive kitchen plot, or a full backyard redesign, we handle everything from the first sketch to ongoing seasonal care.
Custom garden design
Site analysis, planting plans, and hardscape design tailored to your light, soil, and how you actually use your space.
Seasonal maintenance
Pruning, mulching, soil care, and bed refreshes on a schedule that keeps your garden healthy through every season.
Irrigation & water-wise systems
Efficient drip irrigation and smart controllers that cut water use while keeping plants thriving.
Native & pollinator planting
California-native plant palettes that support local pollinators and require far less water once established.
Why homeowners choose us
We're a small team, so you work directly with the designer who walks your property — not a rotating crew. We're licensed, insured, and we stand behind our planting for a full growing season. Most of all, we design for the long game: gardens that look better in year three than they did on day one.
