Robert Bosen Landscape Design - Los Angeles's Best Landscapers

In Los Angeles, shifting rock gardens are often caused by soil erosion, improper base preparation, or water runoff. We fix this by first assessing the drainage and soil conditions, then installing a proper gravel base and durable edging to lock everything in place. Our solutions are designed to withstand local weather patterns, keeping your rock garden stable and looking great.

We use a multi-step approach: starting with thorough bed preparation and high-quality weed barrier fabric, followed by strategic mulching with materials that suppress weed growth while retaining moisture. For existing beds, we perform careful weeding and soil treatment. Our maintenance plans also include periodic checks to keep weeds under control, saving you time and effort.

We recommend using dense, native ground covers and shrubs like California lilac (Ceanothus), sagebrush, or coyote bush. These plants are adapted to our climate, require less water, and naturally crowd out weeds by covering the soil. Incorporating them into your design creates a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape that's resilient against common LA weed problems.
