SUSTAINABLE TIPS+

Los Angeles is expected to be a dry county through the summer. Just because it will be difficult (and expensive!) for thirsty plants doesn’t mean your garden needs to look desiccated come BBQ time. We’ll be putting extra effort into keeping native gardens vibrant and party ready. We will:

Get ready to party!

  • Deadhead to keep summer blooms coming
  • Refresh container gardens for added pop
  • Check oaks for pruning (July – September)
  • Check lighting for efficiency and drama
  • Shine up hardscapes and ready BBQs!

Invite water to stay

  • Eliminate run-off and overspray
  • Inspect irrigation systems for leaks
  • Check the coverage of drip irrigation systems
  • Mulch, mulch, mulch and raise mower heights to keep moisture in the soil
  • Water by hand where necessary
