Julia Powers Landscape services

Specialties

We provide weekly gardening service for residential clients on the midpeninsula. We are real gardeners who know what the plants are and what to do with them. We also use only non-​toxic fertilizers and sprays. We bring a design aesthetic to our work and understand how to maintain proportions. Gardens change over time so a formulaic approach doesn’t work well. Plants that were planted in a sunny area that’s now shaded by a tree may need to be moved or replaced. We’ll make suggestions if we see problems that could be fixed. We maintain irrigation systems and program them according to the seasons. If you want a gardening service that is knowledgeable and proactive contact us for a free estimate. We will tailor our service to fit your needs.

History

Meet the Business Owner

Julia P.

Business Owner

Julia got into gardening because she liked being outdoors and wanted to have her own business. She worked with Carole Kraft of Natural Gardens and learned a lot from this excellent horticulturalist. Not needing to reinvent the wheel, she styled her business after Carole’s. Julia continued taking classes at the Foothill College Horticulture program and then later at UC Berkeley Extension Landscape Architecture program. She has taught classes at Common Ground and Gamble Garden Center, both in Palo Alto. She has been featured in the Palo Alto Weekly, the Country Almanac, and the Los Altos Town Crier.
