Landscape Design and Garden Site Planning

Plenty Productive Landscapes is a licensed and insured Bay Area landscape contractor providing complete landscape design, construction and maintenance services for residential gardens throughout the Bay Area. We also do consultation and hands-on instruction as well as custom garden calendars and seasonal email reminders.

Careful Site Planning is the key to successful home fruit and vegetable production - edible landscaping if you will. We begin with thorough site analysis, including GPS data, chilling hours, exposure and soil testing.Photo -  espallier system

Based on your site parameters, we draw up a plot plan showing proposed location and size of your trees, berry patches and vegetable areas. For smaller gardens, we create space-saving espallier systems (as shown in the photo).

We provide you a Fruit Palette and a Vegetable Palette for produce varieties suitable to your area, together with their typical ripening dates. You then make you selection based on personal preferences, choosing staggered harvest times to ensure a long harvest season. We help you choose your trees with the same care you would choose a puppy!

In established neighborhoods your site may require management of surrounding tree canopies to improve air circulation and light penetration. This has the added benefit of reducing habitat for furry but infuriating wildlife, such as squirrels and raccoons.

Your plan will also include Critter Control recommendations where required, such as deer fencing and gopher proofing.

We design complete automated irrigation systems, including a hybrid microspray technology that is robust and efficient.
