Fire Resistant Garden Designs

We’ve developed a few garden design layouts for a 6’ x 10’ space. These designs are ideal for replacing an old, established Juniper for instance (their oils are flammable). The designs can be repeated and modified for different sized spaces.

Looking for a design more specific to your individual needs?  Contact our Garden Design department at 415-332-0657 ex 113 or design@sloatgardens.com (Marin, San Francisco, Sonoma, and the East Bay).  Also see the Fire Safe Marin plant list at https://sloatgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/FIRESafe-MARIN_plant-list_2019.pdf
