Forest-edge landscapes & fire-wise land care in Occidental, CA

Local knowledge, whole-property care

Tucked into the redwoods of west county, Occidental properties sit where gardens meet forest. Community Soil designs and stewards landscapes that thrive in the shade and moisture of these coastal hills—while keeping homes defended against wildfire through sound forestry and fuel reduction.

Living among the redwoods

Occidental’s cool, wooded microclimate calls for shade-tolerant natives, woodland gardens, and thoughtful drainage. We design landscapes that feel at home beneath the canopy and complement the rugged beauty of the forest edge.

Forestry and fuel reduction

Wooded west county parcels carry real fire risk. We thin overgrown understory, limb up trees, and create defensible space using ecological forestry—reducing fuel loads while keeping the woodland healthy and intact.
