Solidago Landscaping is a full-service landscape design firm in San Francisco that provides ecologically
sound
landscape design, installation and maintenance to residential and commercial clients.
We’re most proud of our commitment to responsible execution of our projects. Doing simple things, like onsite recycling of materials (such as incorporating leftover bricks or concrete into a garden wall) or procesing excess plant material off site into usable mulch and compost, saves money and reduces waste. And by working closely with The Urban Farmer Store and keeping up with the latest irrigation technology, we strive to improve water usage in the garden.
SOLIDAGO HISTORY. After working with a few landscaping companies on the east coast, recent San Francisco dweller and landscape
designer
Alex Ganiaris formed Solidago Landscaping.
Thanks to client referrals and word of mouth, Solidago Landscaping grew into a full-fledged landscape design firm that designs and maintains commercial and residential landscape spaces throughout the San Francisco Bay area.
Increased exposure over the years has led to pro-bono opportunities, such as participation in the 2004 Flower and Garden Show with Second Nature Design, tree planting with the Friends of Urban Forest, tree care for the Cortland Avenue Merchants Association.
ABOUT ALEX.
Alex happily wandered the globe during the off-season until the winter of 2003.
That’s when he met the love of his life, pianist Paula Dreyer, and
settled
in
San Francisco.
An avid surfer, snowboarder, and all-around nature lover, Alex first began landscaping on Nantucket Island with Ernst Land Design in 1998. But it was through his travels to places like Greece, Ireland, New Zealand, Bali and Thailand that his appreciation for natural landscapes grew.
In 2001, Alex attended the Conway School of Landscape Design where he received a Master of Arts in Landscape Design.
In 2005, he formed Solidago Landscaping.
