The first step is a professional assessment to determine the root cause—it could be irrigation issues, soil compaction, or the wrong grass type for our climate. We'll evaluate your system's efficiency, check for dry spots, and create a tailored recovery plan that may include deep watering techniques, aeration, and adjusting your mowing height to reduce stress and promote deeper root growth.

We recommend native and drought-tolerant plants like Manzanita, California Sagebrush, and Ceanothus, which are naturally adapted to our region's heat and dry spells. For non-natives, Mediterranean plants such as Lavender, Rosemary, and Succulents are excellent choices. We can help you select and strategically place these resilient plants to create a beautiful, low-water landscape that withstands our summer heat.

Efficiency starts with a system audit. We check for leaks, broken heads, and poor coverage, then often recommend upgrading to weather-based smart controllers that adjust watering based on local conditions. Converting spray zones to drip irrigation for planting beds and adjusting seasonal schedules are key steps we take to ensure every drop counts, reducing water waste and protecting your plants from stress.
