Services
Drainage Systems
We design and install comprehensive drainage solutions to protect properties from water damage. Our systems include catch basins, French drains, and sump pumps that safely redirect water away from foundations. By addressing both surface and subsurface water issues, we prevent erosion and maintain structural integrity while enhancing landscape aesthetics through strategic planting.
Erosion Control
Our erosion control measures protect hillsides and vulnerable areas using jute netting, mulch, and vegetation. We implement engineered solutions that prevent soil displacement during heavy rains while maintaining ecological balance. These systems work in conjunction with drainage improvements to create long-term stability for residential and commercial properties in Marin's varied terrain.
Irrigation Systems
We install efficient irrigation systems tailored to property needs, including drip and sprinkler configurations. Our battery-powered controllers optimize water distribution for both residential and commercial applications. By integrating smart technology with traditional methods, we create sustainable watering solutions that promote healthy landscapes while conserving resources through precise moisture management.
Retaining Walls
We construct durable retaining walls that prevent soil movement and create usable outdoor spaces. Using reinforced materials and engineering guidelines, our walls provide structural support while enhancing aesthetics. Projects include rock wall restoration, I-beam reinforcement, and decorative finishes with ornamental plants and irrigation systems to stabilize slopes and protect properties.
Fire Fuel Reduction
Our fire fuel reduction services create defensible space around structures by strategically clearing vegetation. We implement perimeter protection systems that maintain ecological balance while reducing fire risk. This includes selective pruning, ground cover management, and creating firebreaks that comply with local regulations while preserving landscape beauty and functionality.
