Drought-Tolerant Plants for Water Conservation Landscaping
Maximillian Parker • March 5, 2025
With spring evolving into summer across the California's South Bay, from Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, or Torrance, homeowners
and businesses
alike are soon to give the outside world beyond them a makeover. At CG Tree & Landscape Inc., with 40+ years of experience serving the South Bay, we recognize that green landscaping
is not a fad-it's a necessity. With water conservation
at the forefront of minds in California, now is the ideal time to turn your yard into a green oasis that prospers on green practices throughout the hottest summer months.
Why Sustainable Landscaping Is Important in South Bay California?
The seaside climate of the South Bay presents specific opportunities—and challenges—to landscaping. Hot, dry-weather summers with extended dry periods require wise management of water, particularly in high-end neighborhoods such as Palos Verdes Estates
and Rancho Palos Verdes, where landscapes provide curb appeal. Green landscaping
provides both beauty and economy, giving your outdoor living area bloom without throwing resources to the wind. For a homeowner
wanting to create a eco-friendlylow-maintenance lawn solution for the future.
Spring Prep: Creating a Water-Wise Foundation
Spring is the ideal season to prepare your landscape for success:
- Choose Drought-Tolerant Plants:
Cultivate local plantings like California lilac or sage that thrive on Torrance sandy soil and Palos Verdes sun-baked slopes. These plantings need minimal watering
and attract neighborhood insects, supporting the diversity of your garden.
- Improve Irrigation:
Our skilled staff at CG Tree & Landscape installs efficient drip irrigation systems
tailored to your property. More efficient than outdated sprinklers, drip systems
deliver water at the roots, conserving waste and encouraging health.
- Mulch for Retaining Moisture:
Organic mulch
on plants retains moisture
and stops evaporation—a must as temperatures rise into summer.
Summer Maintenance: Nurturing with Conservation in Mind
As South Bay weather warms up in summer, eco-friendly landscaping care makes your lawn grow strong and water usage minimal:
- Xeriscaping:
This water-saving technique is our specialty that features succulents instead of water-thirsty lawns. It's a sophisticated, low-maintenance aesthetic ideal for Palos Verdes mansions or Torrance gardens.
- Tree Care:
Healthy trees
also provide shade to other plants, saving water for the plants around them. Our arborists
are certified to provide you with professional tree care
to promote growth and durability in scorching summer weather.
- Smart Watering Schedules: Watering in the morning or evening minimizes evaporation. With more than four decades of experience, we can modify your watering schedule to meet the demands of the season.
