WORKS IN PROGRESS

Case Study #1 - A backyard makeover for a couple and their three little doggies.  Low maintenance, low water usage, all permeable surfaces in the rambling pathways.  Relaxation is the key word here.

Case Study #4:  "The Oasis" is the most recent project being undertaken by the Studio City Beautification Association, along with Moorpark Parkway.  Watch it come to life as you drive past it on the south side of Ventura Boulevard, just across the street from Marshall's.  

First we had to clear the entire site - a massive job - it was completely overgrown with weeds and overtaken with ivy. 

A decomposed granite path has laid for safer pedestrian passage and drought tolerant, mostly California native, plants will be featured on this hillside.  Tons of stone has been brought in to lay a dry creek bed and a decorative border along one edge of the path.

We recently finished planting.  Everything looks pretty small now but our native plants grow quickly and by springtime it should be looking wonderfully colorful.  Inevitably, the Oasis will become a haven for birds, bees and butterflies.
