Planting should be more than just placing a shrub or tree in a hole you've just dug. Proper planting techniques and correct spacing are key components in establishing a healthy, easy to maintain landscape. All our plantings will have the proper backfill, typically a mixture of your existing soil and one or more amendments depending on your particular situation. Those amendments could include; nitrolized redwood or fir shavings, compost, humus, pumice, DG and gypsum. These amendments are added to provide organic material to our clay soils which help to aerify the soil and promote better drainage, two factors crucial to healthy plants. Choosing the correct plants ensures you will have the proper shapes, colors and combinations of texture in your landscape. I go to growers and nurseries from Los Angeles to San Diego to hand select the best,
most appropriate plants for your project. Many of our plants come directly from Monrovia, one of the premier growers in the entire country. Are you thinkng about going lawnless? There are many attractive ways to design a front yard without a lawn that will increase your home's curb appeal. An inviting landscape doesn't require a large, thirsty expanse of grass. You can say good-by to your 'mow and blow' gardener and save money every month on your water bill by removing your lawn.
If you don't want to entirely lose your lawn, we can gradually shift toward a front yard with more plants and less lawn. We can establish deeper planting beds that curve around a smaller area of grass and perhaps add an inviting path. Is your landscape looking a little tired? Has your weekly 'mow and blow' gardener just been mowing the grass and neglecting the rest of your landscape? Do you want your yard looking its best for a special event? Are you selling your house? We can fix all your landscaping problems with a one time clean-up.
Our clean-up services include pruning shrubs and hedges, pest control, planting and/or removing plants, weeding, fertilizing and mulching your flower beds, planting colorful annuals, repairing your sprinklers - whatever needs to be done to make your landscape look great again. Do your sprinklers water your sidewalk and driveway leaving dry, brown patches in your lawn? We can adjust your spray heads so you're only applying water where you want, ensuring a healthier lawn and plants while saving you money. If needed, we'll install adjustable arc nozzles which eliminates the typical overspray associated with fixed arc spray nozzles. Or, we can retrofit your present spray nozzles to the new, efficient rotary nozzles. Rotary nozzles rotate emitting multiple streams of water at one-third of the rate of conventional spray heads, allowing the soil to more efficiently absorb the water. Many local water districts are giving you rebates for conversion to rotating nozzles because of their water-saving advantages. Saving water saves you money. Are you thinking about installing drought tolerant plants to save on your water bill? We can convert spray zones in those areas to a drip irrigation system that puts the water exactly where it's needed.

Slopes need cleanups, planting, mulch and proper irrigation to look their best. Let us take care of your troublesome slope for you. Then we can set up proper slope irrigation, be it MP Rotators, Drip Irrigation, Spray Nozzles or Rotors so your plants get the water they need to thrive. And finally, we'll mulch the slope. A nice thick layer of mulch allows the water to infiltrate the soil rather than run off. Not to mention, a mulched slope looks so much better than bare soil. • Succulents and Native Plants Lower your water bills by re-landscaping with drought tolerant native plants and succulents. Succulents can create a beautiful, dramatic visual effect that require very little maintenance or water. Click here to view a slide show of a small sample of succulents that will enhance the beauty of your garden. Mulching is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your plants and soil. A 2 - 3" layer of mulch will suppress weeds, help moderate the soil temperature and retain moisture, reducing the need for watering. Mulch reduces soil compaction and prevents crusting of the soil surface, allowing the water to slowly infiltrate the soil rather than run off the bare dirt. Mulch is particularly effective on slopes.
Mulch also enhances the look of your garden. Mulches provide a rich color and texture that highlights the plants, a look that bare dirt just can't match.
