Shipping Policy
Shipping Policy
Due to the perishable nature of our products full refunds are limited to 72 hours prior to the time of delivery of plants. Any number of plants can also be returned DIRECTLY to the driver while on-site with the exception of full packages losing a $175 administration fee. Once delivery driver has left the property plants are no longer returnable or refundable.
Refunds Prior to Delivery
We offer full refunds up until three days prior to your scheduled delivery date.
Refunds at Time of Delivery
CITRUS & LAWN SOD CANNOT BE RETURNED
PLANTS can be returned AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY by returning them to the delivery driver / on the delivery truck which they are delivered on. Once plants have been received on site and signed off on by the recipient no refunds or exchanges are allowed.
One gallon plants will be small and immature at time of delivery. The majority of native plants adapt and grow very quickly once properly transplanted in well prepared soil. A 5-10% loss of plant life is not uncommon due to the shock of transplant. Adequate drainage is essential to the health and survival of drought tolerant plants.
Free Delivery Over $599
We deliver FULL SIZE plant products from local growers. Delivery is free for any purchase over $599. Driveway drops wherever possible.
Why is shipping so expensive?
Because of the perishable nature of our products, plants can not be stored in shipping yards or on delivery trucks for more than a few hours. And because plants are full size they must be moved on large trucks, that use a lot of gas. Which is why we encourage customers to buy more plants in bulk packages at once, to save on fossil fuel waste and the time-sensitive labor required to move them.
Curbside delivery is standard. Narrow or steep driveways or homes on roads without adequate turnarounds may not qualify for driveway drops. In this case product will be dropped at closest possible location and client or worker must meet driver to retrieve it.
We Deliver to:
All of Los Angeles, Camarillo, Santa Barbara, Greater Orange County, Inland Empire, Greater San Diego, Greater San Francisco Bay Area, Greater San Jose, Sacramento and Chico. Contact us if you are outside of these areas, we may be able to deliver to other California addresses too.

We doubled the plant quantities & tripled the diversity
Wild gardens are different from conventional landscaping because they have higher density and greater species diversity. This makes them grow faster, adapt to climate swings better and evolve into living, habitat-supporting systems full of wild beauty.
Water-Wise. Fire-Conscious.
These unique plant combos are rooted in over a decade of award-winning design/build experience and recognized by water districts across California. Plus regularly reviewed by a certified wildfire structure protection specialist to rate plants of concern.

How it Works
Plants are brought to you by a local grower or plant wholesaler. Plans are delivered within 48 hours via email. Certain products can be delivered in as little as 3-5 days. Order up to 1 month in advance. You or your installer must be on site to help unload and stow material safely. ETA's are only available afternoon in advance.

Preparing your soil is an important part of growing a successful garden. Most suburban and residential sites have compacted or eroded soil that makes it hard for many plant roots to take. Add gravel in the bottom of planting holes for sites without sandy or sloped rocky soil. Sprinkle soil surface with worm castings or mushroom compost and cover with straw, un-dyed wood chip or decomposed granite.
Irrigation
Packages are designed for drip or soaker-hose-in-swale irrigation. Existing sprinkler systems can also be adapted. Water needs average %50-%75 less than conventional lawn.
What's Soaker-Hose-in-swale irrigation? It's a great passive irrigation system for sloped yards. Click here to learn more.
What about Landscaping without Irrigation? Some packages can be naturalized after their first year of careful establishment watering (or when planted at the start of a big rainy season). Expect %30 die off. Shop nearly xeric.
Mulch
GRAVEL: Best for Neary Xeric, Mediterranean Blend & California Chaparral Gardens. Decomposed granite or seeding with annual wildflowers work great too.
WOODCHIP: undyed wood chip or gorilla hair are great mulches for Edible, Ornamental & Shade Gardens
LANDSCAPE FABRIC: Not recommended.
*never use recycled construction wood media for native or edible plants
%65 of the shrub understory will fill-in within one year. Trees & select shrubs species take several. Some gaps are typically filled in after 2 years time. For fuller fast curb-appeal fill-ins purchase packages with all small size species and add individual trees or hedgerows.
Notes on Natives
Many California native species don't love nursery cultivation. They stay small in their pots regardless of size or age until their roots are out in the wild and given free reign (i.e. Toyon, Monkey Flower, Silk Tassel). But then these neat Native plants out pace most others within 2-3 years.
Total Plants
Packages vary significantly in total plant quantities and sizes. Exact plant lists vary by season & region. Making no two packages the same! This image shows an example of average package sizes.
