What affects the price
When you get a quote for landscaping, the final number depends on a few moving parts. The total square footage of your yard is the biggest factor, followed by the specific types of plants, hardscaping materials, or irrigation systems you choose. If your property requires significant grading, clearing away heavy debris, or accessibility challenges for our equipment, those tasks add labor hours. We also consider how much ongoing maintenance the design requires. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Landscape fabric is a permeable material placed beneath mulch or stone to prevent weeds from growing while still allowing water and nutrients to reach the soil. It is a smart addition if you are starting a new garden bed and want to save time on weeding. Keep in mind that durability varies, and costs depend on the square footage of your project; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
During the heat of summer, our focus shifts to hydration and lawn health. We monitor irrigation timers to ensure plants aren't stressed by the sun, and we keep up with routine mowing to prevent weeds from taking over. If your yard needs a quick color boost, we can install heat-tolerant annuals that stay bright even during July and August.

What are the best landscape rocks for a Berkeley garden?
For a Berkeley garden, landscape rocks can range from smooth river stones to angular gravel or larger decorative boulders. Consider native stone options if available for a natural look.
