VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+
As we drive by the highway signage encouraging water savings through our drought, we inevitably thank you for your early interest and support in protecting Los Angeles. Your lush gardens do more to dispel the myths about drought tolerant landscaping than all of the presentations and articles we produce each year. Thank you for your vision, commitment and support!
Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi

FormLA makes it a top priority to adjust controllers to meet or exceed water restrictions. If there are any signs of leaking or water that is being used inefficiently, please notify us immediately. If you are ready to relinquish your lawn, that is the best way to reduce major gallons to have an immediate impact!
Get Ready for Growth:
- Ensure natives are not being overwatered – they love this heat!
- Remove volunteers, invasive plants and infectious material to reduce plants and disease
- Rinse foliage to keep it lovely and improve transpiration in high heat
- Prune oak trees to maintain form and shade
- Mulch to refresh garden beds and retain water
- Clip the prettiest cut flowers and foliage for indoor bouquets
- Set the stage with extra lighting, heating and container gardens at party time!
Protecting Garden Beauty from Drought:
