LOCATION Menlo Park, Calif.

COMPANY Gachina Landscape Management

DETAILS The Springline campus, nestled between the beautiful California hotspots of San Francisco and San Jose, is about as bustling as it gets for the Golden State.

A modern 6.4-acre mixed-use development, home to residential, commercial and retail spaces, it has trusted Gachina Landscape Management to maintain a regenerative and colorful landscape for its many residents and shoppers.

Oder Ramirez, account manager for Gachina’s Peninsula branch, says that each corner, walkway and planting bed is carefully planned, and the team takes great pride in maintaining the site’s beauty.

Located in the heart of the Bay Area, the landscape must balance beauty with resilience. The site features a vibrant mix of drought-tolerant succulents, bamboo, plum pine hedges and sycamore trees to meet local water-use regulations while maintaining year-round appeal.

And since March 2023, Gachina has managed the busy property with an eye for being eco-friendly and radiant in its design, earning the company a silver award from the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ 2024 Awards of Excellence program for this project.

“I was deeply honored and grateful to receive the award from the NALP,” Ramirez says. “This recognition is a testament to the incredible support and opportunities provided by our company Gachina Landscape Management, our branch manager Robert Garcia and the amazing team at Springline – Menlo Park.”
