Fruit Tree Care

Fruit trees live somewhere between thirty and a hundred years. Some varieties can even live over a hundred years if they are treated well. Needless to say, a relationship with a tree can last a long time, offering unique satisfaction to the home orchardist. Also, given our mild climate, we can pick fruit almost every day of the year in a mixed fruit orchard with proper planning and care. We have developed systems based on the foundations of organic agriculture and then added some new ideas to make the home orchard work for both the the trees and our clients.

Veggie Gardens

Rich organic soil yields nutritious vegetables. Before we do any planting, we ensure the soil tilth and fertility is excellent. Next, we customize a crop plan based on your family's tastes and follow the crop plan to plant out the beds at the appropriate dates. During harvest time, we are happy to cut and wash the vegetables, placing them in a basket at your door, or allow you the harvest pleasure yourself.

Water Catchment

As we all know, water security is going to continue to be a huge issue in the future. Landscapes account for a large amount of the water Californians use every month. We will match the water usage of your landscape to appropriately-sized catchment tanks to help reduce the need for well or city water. Trapping storm water runoff with rain gardens slows the water down and allows it to settle instead of runoff and ultimately being wasted.

Our services include:

  • Rainwater Catchment Systems
  • Rain Gardens
  • Berms/Swales
  • Storm Water Diversion
  • Terraces

Estate Contracts

Consolidate all of your estate maintenance needs by creating a contract with our team of specialists. It is more efficient to have one company take care of your general landscape, veggie garden, and home orchard, than it is to coordinate with multiple firms.
