VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

Thank you Senator Carol Liu, David Brown and Descanso Gardens, and Do Good Bus riders for joining us in a very memorable workshop at the Gardens of the World.

Senator Liu’s office surprised Descanso Gardens and FormLA Landscaping with a certificate for beautifying LA while saving water.  This is what we feel compelled to provide to LA through our everyday work, and we were surprised at how emotional receiving this recognition would be. Equally uplifting was seeing vivacious stream of Do Good Bus volunteers join us with boxes of additional tools and big smiles. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi

SUSTAINABLE TIPS+

We’ll be doing everything we can to help your garden keep its cool through a long dry summer.

Please fax your fire inspection notice to us (818-353-6837), and we’ll take care of the rest. If you are going it alone, please join us in taking the following steps:

Protect homes from fires:

  • Raise low branches on shrubs, keeping foliage off the ground
  • Open shrubbery and reduce flammable material with structural pruning
  • Remove all dead material and weed growth
  • Clear foliage away from rooflines and eaves
  • Maintain proper spacing among plants
  • Follow fire code restrictions within 200 feet of structures
  • Consider exchanging existing foliage for fire fighting native plants

Protect your health… and your wallet:

  • Eliminate sitting water to avoid mosquito breeding
  • Inspect sprinklers for leaks to eliminate run-off and overspray
  • Ensure optimal drip irrigation coverage and timer management
  • Mulch to maintain soil moisture and prevent weeds

Ready gardens for summer:

  • Replenish vegetable and herb gardens…. Let us know what you’ve been craving!
  • Take time to smell the salvia!
