Frequently Asked Questions
As a Culver City homeowner, my drip irrigation keeps clogging and my lawn has poor drainage. Can you help?
Absolutely. These are common issues in our area due to mineral content in the water and soil composition. For clogged drip lines, we perform a thorough system flush and can install inline filters to prevent future blockages. For poor lawn grading and drainage, we assess the slope and soil, then regrade as needed and can incorporate French drains or dry creek beds to direct water away from your home's foundation. Our sustainable approach often includes switching to more efficient emitters and climate-appropriate plants that require less water.
What does your Sustainable Landscape Professional certification mean for my project?
This certification, recognized by the City of Santa Monica and applicable to Culver City standards, means we are trained in water conservation, soil management, and using climate-appropriate plants. For your project, it ensures we design and install landscapes and irrigation systems that meet or exceed local environmental guidelines. We prioritize water-efficient products from brands like Rainbird and Hunter, select drought-tolerant plants, and implement strategies that reduce runoff and promote long-term sustainability, which can also help lower your water bills.
Do you handle both the design and construction of a new landscape?
Yes, we offer a complete start-to-finish service. With my background in landscape design from UCLA, we begin by creating a detailed plan that fits your vision, property, and budget. Once the design is approved, our licensed construction team handles all installation—from hardscaping and planting to installing a fully integrated irrigation system. This seamless process, managed under our C27 Landscaping Contractor License, ensures consistency, quality control, and that the final result perfectly matches the initial design concept.
