Sustainability
Environmentally Sustainable Landscaping
Our expanded approach to landscape services includes environmentally sustainable practices that support the long-term health of your property and the surrounding community. We recycle all our green waste, often mulching and using the chips on-site, and have ReScape Qualified Landscapers on staff. We use our knowledge to minimize the impacts of conventional landscaping and to create more sustainable landscapes.
Integrated Pest Management
Our weed and pest management approach concentrates on plant health, economic and aesthetic thresholds and the least toxic method of control.
We follow bio-preferred practices, selecting biologically based products over petroleum-based ones.
Proactive Water Convservation
Water Conservation is an important component of an environmentally sustainable approach to landscaping. We have the experience and capacity to help our customers conserve water in many different ways, from improving irrigation performance to larger renovations that incorporate drought-tolerant plants and drip irrigation.

ReScape for Regenerative Landscapes
Rubicon Landscape has incorporated many ReScape concepts into our landscape maintenance and landscape installation practices. We have had ReScape Qualified Professionals on staff continuously since 2008. We install ReScape landscapes, even receiving a letter of recognition for our landscape installation at the Harmon Gardens Apartments in Berkeley.
ReScape is based on eight (8) principles of sustainable landscaping designed to support and foster the health and diversity of the San Francisco Bay:
- Act Local
- Reduce Waste
- Nurture Soil
- Sequester Carbon
- Save Water
- Conserve Energy
- Protect Water & Air
- Create Habitat
