Luby Patio

Waaaayyyy Cool!
This was a fun project. Challenging but worth it.
Individually poured concrete squares ranging in sizes from 2'x2' to 18"x2'
Thyme ground cover was planted in the 4" gaps.
I like.

Joseph said he wanted radical transformation. I think he got it. Irrigation, sod, plants, drip, woodchip. Very please with the final result.

OMG

Before

We added two feet to the existing block wall rounded the top and set some tiles to give it character. Spanish style stucco gave it the final touch.

Custom Redwood fencing including the planters.

Concrete was sawcut to give it the "tile like" appearance then stained to make it look new.

Cute & Simple

The grass used to go all the way up to the house, we removed it then installed bendo board to define the new planter & felt fabric to keep the weeds out. Plant material consists of silver sheens, flax, blue dwarf fescues and some lorepetulum. Acorn bark gave it the final touch. Thank's Ally for letting me do my thing.

You gotta have it!

Custom built for my good friend Nancy Janes.
Can't wait to see what she's gonna grow!

Biele Residence

Fun Fun Fun!
This was a fun design/build project.
I didn't take before pictures because there was nothing there, just an empty back yard. Irrigation, plants and sod where done in only 3 1/2 days. I'll take some more pictures in about a month when everything starts flowering.

What a change!
From the wilderness to the promise land.

My Boy

Here's a picture of my little Malachi with a Ford F-1 pick-up in the back.

I love this kid. I thank God every day for letting me raise, enjoy, bless and be blessed by this little one.

La Brea Lane

This Carpinteria residence is starting to be one of my favorites. Lot's to do here. Front yard is pretty much dialed in. We're thinking about planting some Lorepetulum to the left and right of the garage to add some rich purplelish-reddish colors.

Back yard is alot different than the front, lots of drought tolerant plants. Re-design will be happening soon.

The Jungle

Words can't explain how crazy this clean-up was.
All done in 1 day. WOW!

Amico Residence

Matthew 3:10... and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

It was ugly, it was massive, it was messy. Now it's gone

FACELIFT

Tired of regular old grey concrete?
How about staining it?
Get the look you want in just 24hrs.
Saw cutting is also an option to give it a large tile look.

Let there be light... and there was light

We just started maintaining Lights Beautiful in downtown Ventura.
1'st day was long, lots of weeds to pull and plants to trim. Keep checking the updates it will soon be the nicest commercial landscape in downtown Ventura.

The best of both worlds

The cool thing about gardening is enjoying what you labor for outside on the inside.
All you need is a few vases and you can decorate your house for pennies on the dollar. This Bird of Paradise arrangement you see here is at least $40 in the store.

Mi Casa, Es Su Casa

This is my house, I used to have lawn all the way to the sidewalk/driveway. It was just to plain for me so I downsized the lawn area and added planter space around it. 5 sprinklers where cancelled and drip was run to the new plants. This saves me time on mowing and Im conserving more water.

FLAGSTONE

Use it for walkways, steps & patios. Could be easily installed over concrete or on sand and soil. Natural cut or straight cut, it comes in all sorts of colors & textures.

Everybody's Doing It

Are you? If not, why not?
How sweet would it be to make a salad for dinner without having to go to Von's to get the lettuce.
Did you know that almost all the veggie's you buy can be easily grown at home.
If you have the space, I say go for it. It's a good hobby to do solo or with the family.

Last year our client started out with a 10ft x 10ft garden, they loved it so much today we expanded it to 20ft x 20ft.

Raised Veggie Bins

I really had a fun time with these veggie bins. This is the first time the Kirby family is doing a veggie garden. I got to share alot about what to plant, when to plant & how stuff grows. Overall this was a pretty neat experience.

Here's two 4ft x 8ft rough red wood raised veggie bins. I installed a laser drip system that will come on automatically from the timer. I mixed 50% compost and 50% existing onsite soil. While I was there I also tuned up the existing irrigation system for front and back yards.

Check out the before and after pics.

Carrows Restaurant

Located on the corner of Ashwood and Telegraph. Carrows Restaurant is one of our newest commercial landscape maintenance accounts. We started maintaining it in December. It was definately a diamond in the rough.

King Residence

Located in the Ventura Foothills, the King residence overlooks the paficic ocean. This landscape was done approximately a year ago. We re-graded, installed irrigation and new sod. Check out the new fire pit!

Native Landscape

Native plants that are drought tolerant and can stand super cold temperatures is what you see here. The Bishop residence is fragrant, organic and pleasing to the eye. It attracts both birds and butterflies.

Malachi's 1st Work Day

He's got his lunch in hand, ready to take on the world.
Thank you Lord for this little one.

Our Baby

Out of all the properties we maintain, this is my favorite one. The Gooch residence has it all. Here's a picture of the front & back yard.

U CALL, WE HAUL

Check out this sweet ride. It dumps at the push of a button.
16 Yards of wood chips... no problem. It hauls just about anything.

TORNADO Damage

I still cant believe it... A torndado in Ventura.
It sure broke this Ficus tree in half, check out the fence.
Never say never.

recycle, reduce, reuse

Today was a sweet day, we did a dirt removal job here in Ventura and then used the dirt for our new back yard veggie bin.
Here's a picture of the family helping unload at our house.

Let's make it clear.

Last week we worked at the Jensen residence in Ventura. We worked on clearing their 28,000 sq ft property.

Here's a picture of me hard pruning a pittosporum tree.

If your interested in buying an ocean view property stop by 278-280 Cedar Street, two houses on one lot for $699,000

Christmas un-decorating

Today we worked at the Bishop residence in Oak View.
We un-decorated a 20' foot living Christmas tree, an olive tree and their home.
Next year I'll take the before pictures.

Bare Root

Now is the time to plant Bare Root fruit trees.
Apples, plums, apricot's you name it.
Why bare root? You get a bigger root system, a bigger tree and it get's established alot quicker. It's also easier to plant since it doesn't come in a giant pot with a bunch of dirt in it.
Check out Malachi planting a Fuji apple tree at the Elms residence.

Money on Trees

Who ever said money doesn't grow on trees?
Did you know that the average price for Hass avocados are 2 for a $1, sometimes $1 each. Having an avocado tree in your back yard is good for three reasons... 1:the shade 2: the fruit 3: the money you make selling all the ones you cant eat.
