Planting & Softscapes
Why it’s important
Our San Diego climate is ideal for incorporating a wide range of plant material selections within your garden. Tropical, Sub-Tropical, English, Mediterranean and Japanese themed gardens are only few of the plant material palettes one can select from while living in San Diego.
How it works
Bradley Landscape incorporates the latest techniques and technologies when designing and maintaining healthy gardens. We can help you create a beautiful lush garden while emphasizing conservation of water through properly designed irrigation systems and plant material selections.
Water conservation requirements and limitations are constantly changing within our communities, and we understand how to work with the needs of various plants rather than against them. Not only are you able to support sustainable practices, but with a proper water conservation and irrigation systems in-place, you can save on your monthly water expense while sustaining a beautiful garden. Let us help you create a water conservative landscape you will enjoy for many seasons.
Tips for Saving Water:
- Choose low water use or drought tolerant plants in your landscape.
- Check & adjust your irrigation systems at least once a month to inspect for leaks, overspray, and broken sprinkler heads.
- Water only during off-peak hours (before 10 am and after 6 pm) when temperatures are cooler, to reduce evaporation.
- Use mulch or ground covers in all planter beds to reduce evaporation.
- Irrigate three days a week.
- Immediately replace and repair any damaged or leaking parts and connections.
- Upgrade any out-of-date irrigation systems to those with water-saving emitters, moisture sensors, and smart sprinkler controllers.
- Use drip / netafim irrigation when possible.
