Although Rose & Thistle Landscaping does all types of garden installations and maintenance, some of our specialties
include: stonework, paving, planting and water-efficient irrigation.
Stonework
Stone adds solid, bold features to a garden and complements the surrounding plants, trees and flowers. Whether you're
looking for a natural looking dry-stack wall, a more uniform block planting bed or creative accents like a dry riverbed or water
feature, we can create the look you are seeking.
Paving
Cobblestone pavers have become a popular choice with our customers for
upgrading the look of garden patios and walkways. There are some good
reasons why; pavers are:
- durable,
- elegant,
- less expensive than flagstone or tiles,
- are designed to accommodate minor shifts in the ground without
cracking,
- and can be lifted up and re-laid if water or electrical lines below need
to be accessed without leaving any trace of the repair, requiring
additional materials or adding to our landfills.
Water-Efficient Irrigation
Sprinklers shouldn't spray the sidewalk or patio, and irrigation water shouldn't be
draining down the street's gutters. Not only because this natural resource is in short
supply, but also because you're paying for every drop of water you use!
There is a science to getting it right. With special training in water-efficient irrigation
through the Marin Municipal Water District, we can install new irrigation or repair/
upgrade what you already have. And with an irrigation timer that should be
reprogrammed bi-weekly, we can help you maintain a gorgeous garden at the lowest
ongoing costs.
Planting
Some customers prefer instant gratification and choose lots of mature plants that fill in the yard right away, but most
customers choose less expensive younger plants and trees and watch the garden continue to improve over time. Either way,
we will help you determine the foliage options for your garden -- drought resistant, deer resistant, fruit-bearing, child-friendly
or beautiful blooms -- that best suit your needs.
