Chavez Rock and Landscaping - Clovis's Licensed Landscaping

In our local high-desert climate, organic mulches like shredded cedar or pine bark are excellent choices as they decompose slowly and help the soil retain moisture. We also recommend using a thicker layer (3-4 inches) and ensuring proper irrigation underneath. For a lower-maintenance option, decorative rock mulch is very effective at reducing evaporation, though it doesn't improve soil health like organic mulches do. We can assess your specific landscape and recommend the best solution.

We prioritize emergency cleanup for our local customers. Our goal is to schedule an assessment within 24-48 hours of a major storm to address safety hazards like fallen branches. For general debris cleanup, we work to schedule service within the same week, depending on the severity of the storm and the volume of calls. We recommend calling as soon as it's safe to do so to get on our schedule.

Proactive trimming is key. We recommend having trees and large shrubs professionally pruned in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak limbs that are most likely to break in high winds. Securing loose items like patio furniture and ensuring proper drainage in your yard to prevent flooding are also crucial. A seasonal landscape maintenance plan with us can keep your property resilient and reduce cleanup needs after a storm.
