How Landscape Maintenance Protects What Your Marin County Landscape Design Created

A landscape is not a finished product. It is a living system. The day the last plant goes in the ground is not the end of the project. It is the beginning of a relationship between the property and the people who care for it. And in Marin County, where the Mediterranean climate produces aggressive growth from March through June, dry stress from July through October, and a brief dormancy that barely qualifies as winter, that relationship needs to be active and informed.

Landscape maintenance is the service that keeps the garden moving in the right direction. Without it, the design erodes. Shrubs overgrow their spacing. Perennials decline from lack of division. Trees develop structural issues that pruning would have prevented. And the overall composition that looked intentional at installation starts to look neglected within a season or two.
