PG&E depends on ready access to the area above our natural gas transmission pipelines to safely operate the system. While structures and trees should not be placed directly above the pipeline, there are a variety of landscaping options that work well near the pipe. The following is a list of plant types that are compatible in certain locations, or zones, around the pipeline. By choosing the right plant for the right area, you can add to the natural beauty of your home while helping protect the safety of the pipeline. Please note the suggested plant list is not all-inclusive. Consult your local nursery for more region-specific information.
