DRAINAGE Without good positive drainage, plant roots rot, house foundations suffer, mold and moss grow instead of desired plantings and the garden is always a muddy mess to walk through. There are two types of drainage- surface and subterranean. We have had some sites where we have had to install large underground French drains that pick up waters moving horizontally through the soils like underground rivers. Most of the time in San Diego, surface drains are enough, but if there are the telltale signs of subterranean water, then we can help solve these challenges as well.
SOIL PREPARATION A garden with good soil preparation is like a home built on a good strong foundation. If the soil preparation is done thoroughly and properly, a new garden will mature quickly and stay healthy for years to come with a lot less watering, fertilizing and work on your part. Most of San Diego soils are ancient ocean floor strata that haven't seen the light of day for millions of years until some builder came along with a bulldozer. What this means is usually a high salt content and a definitive lack of organic materials. We perform an onsite soil analysis which checks the texture and Ph of the soil. After this is done, we doggedly till the proper amendments into the soil. This usually involves electric jackhammers and small bobcats with teeth. Some of the amendments that we use are: organic natural compost, peat moss, bone and blood meal, time released fertilizers, organic fertilizers and gypsum for clay soils.
CONTROL OF THE WATER Applying the right amount of water to the plant material at the right time is at the heart of our arid climate challenge. With little rain and using drought tolerant plants that will rot easily if over-watered, we have a delicate situation. Each part of your garden has a small but important micro climate. A shady northern side of a home is cooler than south or west side. What we do is divide the garden according to its microclimates and water each area with a separate circuit of irrigation. For example: we might water that shady north side every 4th day in the summer and water the southern side every other day. We also divide the circuits or valves in the irrigation by the types of plants. A citrus orchard will need to be watered weekly where as a shade garden of azaleas or camellias might need water every other day in the summer.
