Lisa Gates

 

Lisa Gates

An Oregon State Alum wth a degree in Horticulture, Lisa Gates, transplanted to the SF Bay Area several years ago to work with EarthCare Landscaping. With a background in weather-based commercial irrigation, she heads up the installation division as well as overseeing all daily operations, promoting sustainable landscaping throughout the South SF Peninsula and the Santa Clara Valley.

Lisa purchased Cal EarthCare Landscaping from the founder, Ryan Marlinghaus, in June 2014.  

Ryan established EarthCare in the mid 1990s as one of the first of its kind at the time - a landscaping company dedicated to promoting and practicing the principles of sustainable and ecologically-minded landscaping techniques. We continue to practice these methods - utilizing organic compost tea and working without pesticides in our installation and maintenance teams.

Ryan has since moved on to focus on his architectural pervious concrete, called PrettyPervious™  and 'Poured Earth', a mix of concrete and on-site soil for walls, PerkTop™. See his site, Pervious Products .
