Just like cars need a 'tune up', yards need a 'Freshen Up'!
Garden Studio has been in Shady Canyon sprucing things up with a new service we call 'Freshen Up'! Visit the Garden Studio website and click on 'Freshen Up'. We have a Landscape Questionnaire to help you evaluate your yard.

This yard was installed 3 years ago. This is a beautiful home with what should be a 'low water' Mediterranean plant palette that would compliment the architecture. When this house was built the plant palette called for low water plants but the original landscape contractor did not take this into account when installing the irrigation and drainage. Basic spray head irrigation was installed with a watering schedule that drenched the plants. After time, the installed plants would simply die due to over watering and poor drainage.

To the homeowner's frustration plants died. These bare areas are located in low lying and poorly drained areas, like the one pictured above. Most homeowners might not realize the problem and continue to re-plant over and over again to no avail.
Your local average gardener might try to patch this problem. They will replant hoping the problem will go away. They might even turn off the irrigation for a period of time hoping that the wet patches will dry up. We at Garden Studio meet homeowners with this is problem all of the time. Beautiful homes with elaborate landscaping that was installed wrong. Overwatered and poorly drained landscapes are really hard on plants. The golden rule is that plants want the right amount of water and the roots can never just sit in moisture for long periods of time. The key to healthy plants is 'water on and water off'.

Our Freshen Up crew tackled this project. Our team replaced incorrect irrigation and planted plants that will tolerate more moisture in the low lying areas.

With help from the Garden Studio 'Freshen Up Team' these ugly underperforming areas of the landscape, see above, were transformed into a beautiful but functional landscape as the homeowners had originally intended.
