We have experience working with all kinds of plant species, from native flowering shrubs and meadow grasses to fruit trees and roses. Our approach to weed and pest control is holistic, using cultural practices first, like mulching and composting, and minimal non-toxic soaps and oils when needed. In this way, we reduce the negative impacts to local plants and animal while maintaining and creating precious habitat. With our organic gardening services, every garden has the potential to become a buzzing habitat for local birds and insects.
Our Santa Cruz-based gardening services are best for clients who are interested in maintaining eco-friendly landscapes and organic gardens, optimizing drought tolerance, and need help with pruning services, orchard care, or other skilled horticultural services. If you love to work in your garden but are looking for expert guidance, we offer consultations and would love to work alongside you during our visits.
Even if you have a garden full of drought tolerant plants, you won't save any water if your irrigation system is not scheduled or monitored properly. Our team is experienced with all kinds of irrigation systems as well as app-based and wifi scheduling programs. We are able to help you keep water usage down and your low-water plants thriving.
We work with the following systems:
-
Rainbird Rachio
-
Hunter Hydrawise
-
B-Hyve
-
Netafim
as well as any traditional irrigation clocks
