Maintenance Services
We don’t just offer maintenance, we offer Care Plans. Native plant landscaping requires less maintenance– though the right maintenance is critical to get the most out of your landscape.
Care Plans
General maintenance, clean-up, and plant & soil check-ups are part of our Care Plans. By having a landscape design that works with nature, our maintenance looks different. Symbiotic pruning, mulching, and harvesting of flowers & herbs are part of the deeper beauty that comes with creating a space that is healthy for people and wildlife alike.
Planting & Seeding
Propagating and reseeding from your established plants is a great way to expand the plants in your landscape as well as retain local genes of native plants that existed on that land previously. With a bit more of a budget, seasonal plantings can add variety and maturity to your landscape faster. Many CA native plants are becoming so popular it can be hard to obtain certain varieties, with a Care Plan, we can plan ahead and usually get our orders placed before they’re sold out.
Harvests
Native plants have many under-utilized values, from food, medicine, skin & hair care, to perfumes, cut flowers and fresh or dried herbs. If you buy White Sage (salvia apiana) from stores, for example, it can be taken unethically. By growing your own White Sage you can be assured its medicinal properties are intact. We’ll consult with you about your goals if growing for harvests are something that interests you.
