Spring arrives in Santa Monica with gentle warmth and renewed energy, making it the perfect time to revitalize your outdoor space. After months of winter dormancy, your garden is ready to burst into life with the right preparation and care.

Soil Assessment and Preparation

The foundation of any thriving landscape begins with healthy soil. Start by testing your soil's pH levels and nutrient content. Santa Monica's clay-heavy soil often benefits from organic amendments like compost or aged manure to improve drainage and fertility. This preparation sets the stage for robust plant growth throughout the growing season.

Strategic Plant Selection

Choose plants that thrive in our Mediterranean climate while complementing your home's architecture. Native California plants like lavender, sage, and ornamental grasses require minimal water once established and provide year-round beauty. Consider bloom times to ensure continuous color from spring through fall.
