Plant Installation

Most new plants that die in the first year are lost to how they were planted, not what was planted: a hole dug too deep, roots left circling from the nursery pot, clay soil backfilled with nothing to help it drain, or no water plan once the crew leaves. We plant properly — holes dug wider than deep, roots loosened, soil amended where the clay needs it, the crown set at grade, and every plant watered in. Then we make sure it keeps getting water, by adding a drip emitter or adjusting the zone that covers it. We install shrubs, trees, hedges, flowers, groundcover and drought-tolerant California plantings, and can help you choose plants that suit your sun, soil and water.
