We offer a quarterly gardening service as well as one time or periodic clean-ups. We specialize in maintaining drip irrigation systems, proper pruning and organic soil & plant health practices. At EarthCare Landscaping, we are dedicated to preserving the environment including people & their pets. We accomplish this by thoroughly researching and then making available, to those with similar values, the most sustainable landscape products & practices currently known.

By carefully examining the site in the design phase and then carrying out the vast majority of grading & excavating by hand we are able to minimize site disturbance thus keeping costs down now & in the future. Gravelpave driveways are a low-cost & low-impact way to install a driveway. They consist of a honeycomb plastic that helps hold the gravel in place and they are set over compacted base rock for long term stability and drainage. We are particularly proud of our pioneering work with pervious concrete, concrete that allows water to drain right through it!

EarthCare was founded in Cupertino in 1994. Since its inception, EarthCare has been dedicated to preserving the environment including people & their pets. See our Award & Certifications acknowledging our efforts, and How We Do It for more specifics. We are a small company, currently employing 17 full-time, dedicated landscapers. The EarthCare Team is proud of the teams' integrity and effort to do the job well, and we stand behind our work. We feel this approach is a major contributor to our large base of repeat customers - they call us back for new projects and refer us to their friends, resulting in our being hard at work throughout the year.

Our quarterly gardening service will vary from season to season. A sample of services to be performed quarterly follows. Please keep in mind that this is a flexible service and will be adapted to each property, the client's needs and desires, and seasonal factors. May include removal of winter damage to small trees, vines, shrubs and perennials; light shearing or hand pruning of hedges & other landscape plants to shape & control growth; & seasonal rose and fruit tree pruning. Fertilizing 3-4 times a year is part of quarterly maintenance: Annual lawn renewal is available as well as aerating, reseeding and lawn composting will be done upon request only and is above and beyond regular maintenance and will be billed at time at time and material.

Most of the designs we install are our own, but many are created by a designer within our large network. We can create unique, sustainable designs that incorporate the elements you desire. The time it takes to complete your design can vary considerably. We recommend you allow 1 to 3 months for most designs to unfold. Much of the discrepancy in timing can be dependent upon your availability to meet, and make comments at each stage of the process. EarthCare Landscaping Design services are NOT REQUIRED in order to perform installation services.
