As Fall is quickly approaching and the weather begins to cool off, there are many things you can do to ensure the health of your garden and landscape in Southern California this Fall.
Fall Mulching
Not only does mulching add a protective layer to help the quality of soil, it also protects your plants against weather conditions. As the weather begins to cool down, it is important that your plants are prepared for the cooler temperatures.
Check Irrigation Systems
With temperatures going down, and the weather not being scorching hot any longer, you may want to check your irrigation system. Not only will this prevent overwatering, but it will also help you save money in the coming, cooler months. Pacific Vista Landscape Services is happy to help you with your irrigation needs.

Harvesting
For those who plant vegetables, fall means harvest season! Harvest season runs from late September to December, but it is never too early in the Fall to prepare. Now is the time to start researching when the best time to harvest your vegetables is, as each is different from the next. It is also the time to buy the tools you need to harvest. This includes pruning shears, scissors, and gloves.
Yard Clean up
Fall is a great time to start pulling your annuals and collecting fallen leaves. You can use your annuals and leaves to create compost for the next season and add it as a layer of supplemental food to next year's plants. They will love it! It's also important to clean up those piles of debris in your yard, especially ones with fruits and vegetables. Leaving these piles out can attract harmful pests to your precious garden.

As the sun shines brighter and longer, plants need adequate water to thrive through the hot summer. Smart water irrigation is a great choice for people living in Southern California for all types of landscape with both commercial and residential properties.
Many aspects go into choosing good irrigation system such as types of plants and ethics. You may need drip irrigation or sprinklers, or both, depending on what plants you have and how much watering is needed. Positioning sprinklers and drip systems in the correct place is also important. It’s also important to consider water conservation and your climate when choosing plants.
With climate change and water becoming more and more precious, it is pertinent to make sure your irrigation isn’t leaky or overwatering your plants. Overwatering plants can also cause them to suffocate and wilt or die. Having automatic sensors turn off your irrigation when the rain comes or when enough moisture is already present is key. Efficient and ethical irrigation can ensure your plants are getting the specific amount of water they need without waste.
Smart Irrigation is an important part of landscaping because it ensures your plants receive enough water for them to thrive but saves plants from overwatering, saving both water and money. Choosing irrigation may not be easy, but with our help, we can ensure you receive irrigation that fits your landscaping needs best.

Spring is linked to all sorts of wonderful things like new beginnings, cleaning, and blooming! It’s here and we want to make sure you know what you need to do to have a fresh and original look for your horticulture needs.
Yard Cleanup
Part of a healthy yard is keeping it clean. Raking away dead leaves and inspecting your yard for dead plants and overgrowth can revitalize its look. A lack of pruning, cutting off dead branches or overgrowth, can lead to less growth in the future for your plants. You can remove dead leaves and stems, carefully, with your hands by pulling at them. For tougher stems or branches, you can use pruning shears or scissors.
Adding Fresh Mulch to Flowerbeds
Mulch is a must have for your garden for not only its aesthetic benefits, but also health benefits for your garden. A new layer of mulch helps retain water in the soil for your plants and can lead to less need of watering your plants. Mulch also helps keep down unwanted weeds from infiltrating around your precious plants. Using mulch in for your plants is an easy trick to saving money on water and giving your garden a fresh look. There are a variety of choices when it comes to mulch these days!
Efficient Water Irrigation
Plants are a lot like humans in that they need a good balance of water and oxygen. Overwatering can lead to your landscape drowning in water and lacking oxygen. Making sure your water irrigation is working efficiently and ethically also helps the earth! As California is suffering from a drought, it is important to conserve as much water as possible and it can also help you save money. Smart irrigation can help!
