Poirier Garden Designs

At Poirier Garden Designs, we understand the importance of creating a harmonious relationship between nature and humanity. With over 30 years of experience in landscape design and horticulture, we specialize in crafting personalized oases that not only elevate your outdoor space but also promote ecological balance and sustainability.

Concept Design

The foundation of our design process is the concept plan, a comprehensive guide that captures the essence of your new garden. We begin by identifying an appealing theme or style that resonates with your vision, whether it's a Mediterranean, Japanese, or Southwest-inspired design. Our concept plan not only showcases your desired layout but also provides a detailed outline for cost estimates and construction.

Plant Selection

Building on the concept plan, our planting design involves selecting a diverse array of plants that thrive in the Bay Area's unique climate. Our expertise in horticulture ensures that every plant is chosen for its adaptability, low maintenance, and ability to coexist with neighborhood wildlife. A planting plan is then created, detailing the specific location and size of each plant, as well as quantities and names of each species.

Irrigation Layout

As the next step, we design an efficient irrigation system that meets the specific needs of your garden. With California's dry summers, automatic watering systems are a necessity, and our drip irrigation systems are designed to conserve water while providing optimal plant health.

Consulting Services

As an experienced landscaper and gardener, we understand that gardens are dynamic and require ongoing maintenance. Our consulting services offer the guidance and expertise you need to keep your garden thriving. Whether you're seeking advice on plant selection, pruning, or pest management, we're here to help you achieve a garden that reflects your personal style and values.

Landscaping Tips

For stress-free gardening, we recommend the following tips:

• Clean up and prune your garden during winter to prepare for spring growth.
• Prune roses and other plants lightly to minimize stress due to drought.
• Water deeply during dry winter months to build soil moisture reserves.
• Prune judiciously to avoid over-stressing plants.

At Poirier Garden Designs, our passion is transforming outdoor spaces into vibrant oases that not only enhance your lifestyle but also support the natural world. We invite you to explore our services and discover how we can help you create a garden that nurtures both your spirit and the environment.
