How Native Plantings Installation Creates a Landscape That Works With the Bay Area, Not Against It

The conventional garden fights the climate. It demands irrigation through the dry season. It requires fertilizer to compensate for soil that was never designed to support the species planted in it. It needs pest control because the plants have no co-evolved relationship with the insects around them. And it replaces the ecological function of the land it sits on with something that looks green but contributes nothing to the local habitat.

Native plantings installation reverses that equation. It puts the species that evolved in this region back into the ground they came from. And the result is a landscape that conserves water, supports pollinators and wildlife, builds soil health, and looks increasingly beautiful as it matures, all without the chemical inputs and the irrigation dependency that conventional gardens require.
