Winter is for Landscape PlanningSoon we will have all survived the holiday rush and will begin to start to settle down for a brief Southern California ‘winter’. While we won’t be covered in snow like much of the rest of the country, winter still is not the optimal season for garden redesign--or is it? It turns out that winter is the best time for planning your spring landscaping activities. As landscapers, we know that the cold winter months provide the ideal climate for developing a thoughtful landscape design that can be implemented as soon as the weather turns. Early planting in spring will give your plants a head start on the growing season and will give you a garden that’s bursting with color by the end of the season. Front Yard Design Trend Here at The Yard Fairy, we're noticing a trend among the front yard design requests we receive from our clients. In recent years, homeowners are really looking at their yards as ways to extend their living space to the outdoors (which makes perfect sense in a climate such as ours). Creating a living space in front yards can present a challenge--especially when the front is small and is close to the street and sidewalk. According to Sunset Magazine, "Rather then simply carpeting the soil with lawn and edging it with foundation plants, Westerners increasingly are ...replacing lawns with low-maintenance, water- wise plants; or adding gracefully curved beds". Our own experience has shown us that clients who create front yard living
spaces are enjoying the added benefit of interacting with their neighbors
and feeling much more a part of their local neighborhoods. About The Yard Fairy Diane Downey is the owner of The Yard Fairy Inc, an award-winning custom residential landscape design build contractor servicing North San Diego County and specializing in low water, low maintenance landscapes.
