Fine gardening in Dublin, CA means managing inland heat, afternoon valley winds, and clay soils common in Dublin Ranch, Wallis Ranch, and Tassajara Hills. West-facing fronts along the 580 corridor need heat-tolerant, low-water color and smart mulch strategy; newer lots in Schaefer and Jordan Ranch benefit from composting, corrected drip zones, and staking plans through summer. Deer browse on the hills, so we specify proven palettes and protect young plants during establishment. Our horticulturist-led team builds a seasonal plan for your exact site, entry containers on refresh cycles, careful pruning for roses and ornamentals, and drip right-sizing that preserves bloom without waste. We run a dedicated Dublin route (94568), arrive on schedule, and send photo notes after every visit.

Why Gardens in Dublin Need a Different Approach

  1. Hot, dry summers; cool, wet winters: water-wise palettes, seasonal pruning windows.
  2. Valley winds & west-facing sun (580 corridor): staking, mulch strategy, heat-tolerant choices.
  3. Clay soils & new-build lots (Schaefer/Tassajara/Jordan Ranch): composting, root-zone fixes, correct drip layout.
  4. Deer on the hills: proven deer-resistant selections + protection during establishment.
