As the sun shines brighter and longer, plants need adequate water to thrive through the hot summer. Smart water irrigation is a great choice for people living in Southern California for all types of landscape with both commercial and residential properties.
Many aspects go into choosing good irrigation system such as types of plants and ethics. You may need drip irrigation or sprinklers, or both, depending on what plants you have and how much watering is needed. Positioning sprinklers and drip systems in the correct place is also important. It’s also important to consider water conservation and your climate when choosing plants.
With climate change and water becoming more and more precious, it is pertinent to make sure your irrigation isn’t leaky or overwatering your plants. Overwatering plants can also cause them to suffocate and wilt or die. Having automatic sensors turn off your irrigation when the rain comes or when enough moisture is already present is key. Efficient and ethical irrigation can ensure your plants are getting the specific amount of water they need without waste.
Smart Irrigation is an important part of landscaping because it ensures your plants receive enough water for them to thrive but saves plants from overwatering, saving both water and money.

Spring is linked to all sorts of wonderful things like new beginnings, cleaning, and blooming! It’s here and we want to make sure you know what you need to do to have a fresh and original look for your horticulture needs.
Yard Cleanup
Part of a healthy yard is keeping it clean. Raking away dead leaves and inspecting your yard for dead plants and overgrowth can revitalize its look. A lack of pruning, cutting off dead branches or overgrowth, can lead to less growth in the future for your plants. You can remove dead leaves and stems, carefully, with your hands by pulling at them. For tougher stems or branches, you can use pruning shears or scissors.
Adding Fresh Mulch to Flowerbeds
Mulch is a must have for your garden for not only its aesthetic benefits, but also health benefits for your garden. A new layer of mulch helps retain water in the soil for your plants and can lead to less need of watering your plants. Mulch also helps keep down unwanted weeds from infiltrating around your precious plants. Using mulch in for your plants is an easy trick to saving money on water and giving your garden a fresh look. There are a variety of choices when it comes to mulch these days!
Efficient Water Irrigation
Plants are a lot like humans in that they need a good balance of water and oxygen. Overwatering can lead to your landscape drowning in water and lacking oxygen. Making sure your water irrigation is working efficiently and ethically also helps the earth! As California is suffering from a drought, it is important to conserve as much water as possible and it can also help you save money. Smart irrigation can help!

As Californians, we are lucky to live in such a nice, warm climate. But sometimes, the winter days hit us harder than usual, and we need a little something to spice up our life – or yard!
With California’s Mediterranean climate we are lucky to be able to still have beautiful flowers all year round. Here are a few that can add more liveliness and color around your home.
Winter Jasmine
Yellow and elegant, winter jasmine is known in Chinese as “The flower that welcomes Spring”. A lively addition to your yard, winter jasmine can thrive in cold and hot temperatures making it the perfect perennial. Winter jasmine does best with regular watering, especially during those hot SoCal summers and a bit of trimming from time to time.
Hydrangeas
Seen all over Southern California, these flowers come in a multitude of colors and their beautiful form will surely add personality to your yard or garden. Hydrangeas are a lovely flower because of their easy care. This flower has two main requirements: morning sun and afternoon shade and a well-draining soil.
Pansies
Pansies are a delicate, low-maintenance flower that can add so much calm to the surroundings of your domicile. These dainty flowers enjoy the same amount of sunshine as the hydrangea and do well in Southern California winters because of the sunshine.
Pansies should be planted about a foot apart from each other. They are relatively low maintenance and can provide more character to your home.
