Bay Area Landscape Pros needs to address the rising effects of climate change, hotter, drier weather, and frequent drought by considering the use of CA native plants.
In a changing environment like this, project success and client satisfaction depend on effectively using life-giving water. As a result, CA native plants are a beautiful solution for this challenge.
Don’t just survive drought, thrive with CA native plants
California native plants are important because they’re water efficient and provide biological diversity for surrounding ecosystems. Using “California-friendly” plants is a best-practice that benefits both local habitat and area inhabitants—people and wildlife.
From ground covers and grasses to flowering shrubs and trees, native plants provide the benefits of lower water needs, reduced maintenance requirements, improved soil health, and increased diversity that attracts birds and butterflies. They also blend in naturally with surrounding landscapes and provide aesthetic beauty.

We live in the foothills of the Corning-Red Bluff, Ca. area and we are water conservatives living on a well for the past twenty years. We have an acre with natural oaks (approx 50) of varying sizes. some eucalyptus trees and privets, we planted as saplings, growing along the perimeter fence line that surrounds our property. Unfortunately no colorful bushes or grasses to add some flair. I’m happy to come across your site and will put into my ‘favorites’. If you could suggest inexpensive plants for our area I’d appreciate it. I receive disability benefits each month so I’m always strapped for cash, however, I am determined to address this issue. Thanks for your site.
