• install CA Gold pebble for all landscaping surfaces, incorporating boulders for depth & structure
• blend new flagstone pathways with existing hardscaping

What is a native plant?

“California’s native plants evolved here over a very long period, and are the plants which the first Californians knew and depended on for their livelihood. These plants have co-evolved with animals, fungi, and microbes, to form a complex network of relationships. They are the foundation of our native ecosystems.”
