G Landscape Division LLC. provides a complete range of landscaping services for residential and commercial clients in Marin, Sonoma, and San Francisco Counties. The company has the in-house capabilities to handle everything from routine lawn maintenance to full-scale landscape design/build projects, and it’s also qualified to install irrigation systems and custom water features like fountains, ponds, and waterfalls.
Owner Zach Wahle says much of G Landscape Division’s success can be credited to its customer-oriented business practices. “Whenever we start a project, the first thing we do is get a sense of what the client wants to achieve. We bring a lot of experience and plant knowledge to the table, so we’re able to create landscapes that can be enjoyed during every season of the year.”
G Landscape Division is known for its honest, collaborative approach to the landscaping process, which Mr. Wahle says is essential for achieving long-lasting results. “Sometimes a garden will look better on paper than it does in the ground, but we’re always straightforward with our clients and we’ll tell them if something isn’t working. They know we’ll take the time to make the finished product look as beautiful as possible, and they really appreciate that.”
“We understand that every person’s landscape palette is different, so we keep an open mind during each job and collaborate with the customer to create something that showcases their unique ideas. By focusing on professionalism, customer service and communication, we’ve been able to build great relationships with our clients.”
Balance timing and responsible monitoring to get the most out of your lawn watering schedule.
Whether you have a full lawn or eco-friendly landscaping that only needs occasional watering, it’s still important to make the most of the water you use by reducing waste and runoff. Irrigation systems can be a big help when it comes to using less water and directing it where it needs to go, as can watering at the right time of day.
Most people know it’s better to not water when the sun is highest in the sky, as that’s when evaporation is highest. Because of this, watering at night might seem like a good idea, but there are drawbacks to this approach. “A lot of people think they should water their lawns late at night or overnight to prevent evaporation, but it’s actually better to water closer to twilight or early in the morning,” offers Zach Wahle, owner of G Landscape Division LLC. in San Rafael. “If you water overnight and something goes wrong with your irrigation system, you might not see it until many hours later. That wastes water and can cause problems with overwatering and flooding.”
Most of us have seen sprinklers spraying in the wrong direction, accidental jets of water, and water running down driveways and sidewalks. With persistent drought conditions and increased public sensitivity to wasting water, many businesses and homeowners monitor closely to stop waste. “By watering closer to twilight or very early in the morning, you’ll reduce the chances of missing a problem,” confirms Mr. Wahle.
Here are some other easy ways to make the most of your lawn watering:
- Plant native and low-water plants.
- Group plants together by water needs.
- Use groundcovers as living mulch.
- Add compost and water-retaining mulch for soil that holds more moisture.
- Use greywater or rainwater recycling systems.
- Add more decorative hardscaping elements.
- Choose porous landscaping materials to let rain soak into the soil.
- Install, use and maintain drip watering systems.
- Add runoff areas; rain garden areas; water features; rain barrels; cisterns; and other methods to capture, store, and distribute rainwater.
- Sweep instead of pressure washing.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a vital aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for landscape maintenance companies that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For G Landscape Division LLC., the key to keeping clients happy is simple: work closely with them to create and maintain the landscapes of their dreams. “Whenever we meet a client, the first thing we do is get a sense of what they’re looking to achieve with their project, and that’s our favorite part of the process,” says owner Zach Wahle. “Our goal is to create landscapes that provide year-round interest, so we keep an open mind and collaborate with our customers to provide them with truly unique results.”
G Landscape Division has been providing landscaping services for residential and commercial clients in Marin, Sonoma, and San Francisco Counties since 2015. In addition to handling everything from regular lawn maintenance to complete landscape design/build projects, the company has the training and equipment to install irrigation systems and custom water features like fountains and ponds.
Unlike less experienced landscaping companies that have to limit their services because of a lack of training or personnel, G Landscape Division is proud to act as a “one-stop shop” for all of its clients’ needs. “We have landscape architects, engineers, draftspeople and other in-house resources, so if a job has an electrical issue or an irrigation problem, we can take care of it right away,” explains Mr. Wahle. “Not only does that keep costs down for our clients, but it also gives us complete control over every aspect of their projects.”
Ultimately, Mr. Wahle sees G Landscape Division’s company-wide integrity as one of its most important attributes. “We proudly stand behind everything that we do, and you can’t put a price on that,” he affirms. “We prioritize quality control, follow through on our promises and always back up our work. That’s the way it should be across the entire industry and we’re proud to be leading the way.”
