Ever Evolving Living Works of Art
OUR MISSION
The mission of 1BAY is to enact and promote sustainable beautification of the Bay Area
through our landscape design, installation, and curation services for private residences and commercial sites.
Our standard is nothing less than excellence in labor, materials, and service.
Sempervivum 'Gold Nugget'
At 1BAY our focus is always the greater beauty, functionality, safety, and durability of your exterior spaces. With an attitude of "measured perfectionism" we carefully and artfully complete our work at a level of detail rare in the industry.
THE 1BAY 'FOUR PILLARS' MEAN ...
We hand-select the best specimens and work with nurseries and wholesalers of the highest quality who cultivate their plants in optimal, organic soils.
Our mantra is "steady, focused, careful." Achieving a consistent flow as we work, and getting it done right the first time, we balance efficiency for your budget's sake without compromising stunning results.
No stone is left unturned, literally. We consider detail from the best positioning of a boulder or plant to how your garden will appear in the Spring versus the Fall.
We use mostly evergreen plants and care for them to maximize bloom periods and showcase their healthy foliage, providing a kaleidoscope of color through all seasons.
We have a growing network of local to international suppliers of premium, unique, or customizable features for your garden. Let us help you source the special features that make your landscaping extraordinary.
Mosses, lichens and other charming plants are all around our homes. We responsibly source these products to bring in unique hyperlocal natives not available in nurseries.
There is a reason landscapes are so often depicted in paintings. They are awe-inspiring. 1BAY landscape art can include miniaturized mountain ranges to a bromeliad adorned tree to using fencing as a canvas for an ever-evolving living wall display.
With our ethos of sustainability, we bring new life to usable rocks, wood, or other materials in your space. For example in the above pictures - the brick patio, small boulders, and pallet that has become the "canvas" for a living wall - were already in the yard.
According to Forbes, high quality landscaping can increase your property's value up to 20%, even when spending only 5% of your home's value on a project. There is also the pricelessness beautiful and functional spaces provide for your daily enjoyment.
