I'm Retired!

Thank you so much to the clients of San Francisco for entrusting me with your projects for the past 25 plus years. It has truly been an honor to create for you and I can’t say enough how much I appreciated it. To new home owners who are thinking about creating an oasis for your property in this great city, I would be honored for you to browse my portfolio for ideas that you can use on your upcoming project. 

Peace and Love, Paul Tamate

San Francisco Plant Directory for Landscaping

Help your San Francisco garden thrive with climate-friendly plants.

These are plants that, from our experience, do well in San Francisco’s unique Mediterranean style micro-climate. This plant directory can help those living in San Francisco or in the Bay Area to search out many different styles of plants that are suitable for any landscaping project. Some plants are native to the San Francisco area while others are non-native but still thrive within the San Francisco area’s climate.
