The client wanted a backyard that would give them room for entertaining and have a classy, high-end look. Once the third-party contractor was finished with building the stucco wall and pergola it was our turn to help transform this yard. The first step was to clear out everything from the yard: flagstone was removed, the rock was taken out, and all the vegetation was cleared, and raked. Now, we had a perfect blank slate to start our work. First steps - raised moss rock flowe

Our client had a pathway around their house that led to the trash and recycling bins that had become overgrown with weeds. They wanted this area to be redone to have a clean, finished look with low-maintenance plants to help spruce the area up, as well as a small coyote fence to help hide the bins.

Q: How can I tell if my plant or tree is dead? A: During the winter months it can be difficult to tell if a dormant tree is dead or alive. The easiest way to tell is to take a sharp pair of pruners and scratch the bark of the tree. If there is green underneath the layer of bark then the tree is still alive. If it is dry and brown it is dead. Under no circumstance do you need to bend a branch to see if it is dead, it will snap, even if the tree is alive.

The first step was to remove the Lavenders and Hostas. Once those were dug out it was time to tackle the tree. Since it was a smaller area, the be
