Contractor trucks and equipment consume a fair amount of fuel. While our expenditures on fuel aren’t as dramatic as some industries in the transportation sector, we still notice the difference on our truck fleet especially. The cost of diesel for example, has jumped almost a dollar in the past couple of months, to an astonishing price of over $5.00 per gallon in California.

Revisiting a Modern Garden
Here are a few images from a very modern garden we did for an Eichler home in Lucas Valley. The colors and textures of the plantings have filled in nicely and given a great a great compliment to the residence. These images are take about a year after the garden was planted.

View of the front yard- Concrete Path with accents and plantings featuring Blue Fescue, Berkeley Sedge, New Zealand Flax and Mexican Fan Palm
The planting design used California and Mediterranean plants to create interesting foliage and texture differences throughout the garden.

Spring Projects
Spring is a busy time around here, sometimes it is easy to get wrapped up in spring work. Here are some of the projects we have been working on so far this spring:
Here is an update to project we completed in the fall, we planted a second round of spring plantings for a full, lush garden. The garden in Tiburon featured a roof garden with great views to San Francisco
Here is another update to a project we have been working on. This pool courtyard in San Rafael was completely redone, with a new concrete dining area, shade arbor and see-through gas fireplace.
