The water’s warming up, the koi are hungry, and your plants are growing fast. A few things to stay on top of as we head into summer:

— Feed 2–3 small meals a day, only what they finish in ~5 minutes

— Choose quality food with real protein for better color and growth

— Trim yellowing leaves and thin aggressive plants before they take over

A little attention now keeps it looking its best all season. Read our full Memorial Day pond guide here: https://www.socalponds.com/your-pond-is-in-full-swing-heres-how-to-keep-up-this-memorial-day/

As temperatures climb into Memorial Day weekend, your koi are eating more and your plants are growing fast. Here's where to focus.

The gardens that look effortless? They were planned months ago. Two to three months is realistic from first conversation to finished install — longer if you’ve got your heart set on specific plants or stone. Worth starting before you’re ready to enjoy it.

We do our best to be sure our work aligns with our clients’ vision. Getting to discuss our plan in the sunshine isn’t too bad, either.

This is a pondless stream. The water runs down the creek bed and disappears into gravel. There’s a hidden reservoir underneath that recirculates it back up to the top. No fish, no liner, no standing water.

It’s a great option if you have kids or pets, a smaller yard, or you just don’t want pond maintenance.

Happy Earth Day 🌎

Every yard in LA is a piece of what used to be one of the most biodiverse landscapes in North America.

A few ways to give some of it back:

— Swap a piece of lawn for something alive
— Plant California natives
— Make room for pollinators
— Catch your runoff
— Leave a little mess

Small choices add up.

A classic before and after photo of one of our favorite projects. We added lots of native plants to make this home fit right into the landscape. We can make your home look like this, too!
