San Luis Obispo, CA
This site, formerly coastal sage scrub interfaced
with riparian woodland, was dominated by alien plant species.The alien
plant species were eradicated and replaced with native plants, and the
site was maintained for five years to insure a successful restoration.
CLIENT: FIRMA Landscape Design
Avila Beach, CA
This site was impacted by a road washout creating
runoff water that gorged a deep crevasse through the site. The one-acre,
coastal sage scrub (with small portions supporting a seasonal seep) was
replanted with community-specific native plants, mulched heavily and was
maintained for three years to insure success.

Riparian Corridor of Salinas River, Paso Roles,
CA
This severely disturbed, five-acre site, a riparian
corridor within the flood plain of the Salinas River, was primarily impacted
by the use of off-road vehicles throughout the area. We were contracted
to develop an old well site nearby to provide temporary irrigation for
the ecological restoration of the site. We installed some 3,000 site-specific
native plants with a heavy mulch layer, designed and implemented an irrigation
system, and maintained and monitored it for five-years. The Army Corp
of Engineers was the governing body of this project.
CLIENT: The Habitat Restoration Group
Avila Beach, CA
This coastal sage scrub site resulting from
an oil spill that escaped down the ravine channel, to the Pacific ocean,
was restored by cleanup of the oil spill, the replacement of contaminated
earth with site-specific soil, reintroduction of mulched, caged, site-specific
plant material, design and implementation of a temporary irrigation system
incorporating erosion control measures, and a five-year maintenance program.
The agencies involved were the California Department of Fish and Game,
as well as the County of San Luis Obispo.

Santa Margarita, CA
This site, surrounded by oak woodland, possessing
shallow soil, disturbed and compacted during construction of a railroad
track, consists of an oil storage and pump station in need of screening
from a county road. This screen planting was developed by ripping the
hardpan to a depth of three feet, planting along the created faults in
the hardpan, utilizing mulched (for water conservation and weed control)
indigenous plant species, and the implementation of a five-year maintenance
program that allowed us to guarantee a successful visual screen. The governing
agency was the County of San Luis Obispo.
CLIENT: Tosco Distribution Corporation
Santa Margarita, CA
This site, disturbed by an oil pipeline replacement,
and under an active grazing regimen, was a foothill woodland interfacing
with a riparian corridor. Cattle damage was mitigated with a fence, while
the site was restored with reintroduction of mulched, site-specific plants
indigenous to the foothill woodland and riparian corridor plant communities,
and a one-year maintenance program.

Asuncion Ranch, Atascadero, CA
This project, a hillside disturbed by the realignment
of a collapsed, two-lane private road, was implemented by developing a
series of hay bale check dams feeding into a large drainpipe that addressed
surface runoff of the steep slope, stabilizing the soil with jute netting,
reintroducing site specific plant materials, and maintaining the site
for one year.
CLIENT: Asuncion Ranch Property Owners Association
Vandenberg Air Force Base, Lompoc, CA 1995-1998
This two hundred acre, coastal sage scrub site,
north of the Santa Ynez river mouth, and dominated by the alien species,
Carpobrutus edulis, was restored by exterminating the Carpobrotus edulis,
reintroducing indigenous species with pre emergent herbicide treatments
and a heavy mulch layer, only two waterings, and maintaining and monitoring
the site for three years (with a 92% success rate).
CLIENT: Spaceport Systems International
Avila Beach, CA
Our task at this site was to provide a visual
screen for a thirty-foot telecommunications tower. We utilized plants
from the coastal sage scrub plant community indigenous to this mountain-top
and had in place a very active maintenance and hand-watering program which
continued for five years. The final approval on this project was done
by San Luis Obispo County.
