Question Answers

What's the best way to prevent mulch from washing away in my Los Angeles yard?

Mulch erosion is common here due to infrequent but heavy rain. We recommend using a heavier, chunkier mulch like shredded cedar or redwood bark that interlocks, and applying it at a proper depth (3-4 inches). For sloped areas, consider installing a biodegradable erosion control blanket underneath the mulch. Our team can help you select the right product and technique for your specific garden.

My tree roots are damaging my lawn and sidewalk. What solutions do you offer?

Surface roots are a sign of thirsty trees in our arid climate. The best long-term solution is to transition the area around the tree to a water-efficient, root-friendly ground cover or mulch bed instead of lawn. We can help you select beautiful, low-water native plants or decorative gravel that won't compete with the tree. For new plantings, we also provide root barrier materials to help direct growth downward.

Which plants do you recommend to help stabilize soil and reduce erosion in LA?

We specialize in California native and Mediterranean plants with deep, fibrous root systems that hold soil. Excellent choices include Coyote Bush (Baccharis pilularis), California Sagebrush (Artemisia californica), and various native grasses. These plants are naturally adapted to our climate, require less water once established, and are highly effective at preventing soil loss on slopes and in garden beds.
