Fairfax Sustainable Garden
Large Marin gardens require a lot of water in summer. This garden represents our sustainable approach. An elegant tiered design of neutral-colored buechel stone from U.S. quarries, combined with drought-resistant plants, keeps it easy on the eye and easy on water use. An installed drip hose system with a timer adds extra simplicity to maintenance.
"My garden was in need of a refresh, redesign and irrigation update and fix. I also needed landscape lighting and regular monthly maintenance. Bret and his gardening guru’s have been a Godsend. From landscape design to monthly maintenance the work has been exceptional. Bret brings first-hand knowledge of native and non-native plants that will thrive in this area. Bret is a collaborator and excellent communicator. He works with you to understand your vision as his client and creates a garden that reflects your aesthetic through his creative eye. His passion and respect for design in nature are evident in his work. I love my garden!" – Mona L.
"Bret is very friendly, and very knowledgeable. We visited two nurseries to help me decide on plants. I took a long time to decide on everything and he was very patient. His crew of workers were absolutely wonderful! I love the irrigation system they installed, very meticulous including measuring distances between plants. Bret designed a winding pathway after I chose the stepping stones. Our updated yard only needs maintenance every 6 months, only a little pruning here and there so far. I've had several compliments on it!" – Richard B.
