Deer resistant, woodland edge planting with restoration in mind. Native plantings including Rhus aromatica 'Gro-low' (Gro-low Sumac). This photo shows early spring growth and the delicate beauty of the flowering stage of this plant. Great autumn red foliage and spreading habit make this plant an excellent choice for eroding slopes.

We worked lots of compost into the depleted soil and added some organic starter fertilizer to promote root growth on the new plants.

Corner lot enhanced with erosion control measures, rebuilt stonewall and native plants. Natural forest trees thinned and pruned for optimal growth. Invasive shrubs and vines removed as native woods are refined for conservation development housing. Supplemented with additional native trees and shrubs. Driveway graded to onsite stormwater infiltration and to prevent ice build up in winter.

Inspiration for a traditional landscaping in San Francisco.

Coral Bells (Heuchera americana) shown at the front of the Azalea with several colorful Nativar (a native cultivar made by plant science) to left & right. Coral Bells are used extensively in this particular shade bed due to their low growth, and so far rabbits have not eaten too much of them if other plants are available.

This new 6400 s.f. two-story split-level home lifts upward and orients toward unobstructed views of Windy Hill. The deep overhanging flat roof design with a stepped fascia preserves the classic modern lines of the building while incorporating a Zero-Net Energy photovoltaic panel system. From start to finish, the construction is uniformly energy efficient and follows California Build It Green guidelines. Many sustainable finish materials are used on both the interior and exterior, including recycled old growth cedar and pre-fabricated concrete panel siding. Photo by: www.bernardandre.com
