Butte County
Landscaping in Chico, CA
Chico work skews toward finished landscapes — sod, efficient drip, paver patios, and planting schemes that survive a 105-degree valley July.
What Chico properties actually need
Most Chico calls are renovations: tearing out a tired lawn and spray-head system, correcting the grade the builder left, then rebuilding with drought-tolerant planting and drip that actually reaches the root zone. Valley clay needs real soil prep — we amend and till before anything goes in the ground.
Heat is the design constraint. Plants that look fine in a nursery pot in March are cooked by August unless they're placed with afternoon shade in mind. We plan the canopy, the mulch depth, and the bed layout together so the yard is still full three summers later.
We also clear and maintain vacant Chico lots and larger parcels on the edge of town — weed abatement letters from the city are a common reason people call.
