Happy Snapdragons!

At our design center, our snapdragons are a show of beautiful color this year!  We love this cool season annual that comes in a wide variety of gorgeous colors and welcomes the first signs of spring.

Too Good to be True?

Are you looking for a plant for your landscape that is drought resistant, deer resistant, has a long bloom period and loves the sun?  Sounds too good to be true - doesn't it?

But it does exist!  Damianita is a small, evergreen shrub with dark green needle like leaves.  From April through September it blooms bright yellow flowers.  Damianita thrives in full sun and poor soils with good drainage. It requires no irrigation.

We love the soft, round contrast it creates with your typical desert plants like yuccas and agaves.

Crape Murder

A few weeks ago, we discussed the right way to prune crape myrtle trees. The following is a link to that post:
http://preferredlandscape.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-right-way-to-prune-your-crape_28.html

We saw this the other day and wanted to post pictures of what we refer to as "Crape Murder" or the WRONG way to prune your Crape Myrtle trees.  It is such a shame to do this to your trees and it will make the tree look worse in the long run.  By cutting it back to stubs, the tree will never have new bark and eventually the new limbs will be too week to hold up the blooms.

Testimonial Tuesday

"I was very pleased with your people that came and did my landscape job.  They did a professional job.  I would recommend Lalo Esqueda, Jose Garcia and Luis Vasquez for any future jobs and would use them again on any job I would need." ~Leigh P

Testimonial Tuesday - Lighting Department!

We got this online review last week we wanted to share with you.  It is from a longtime client we have had and was regarding some recent landscape lighting work she had done.

"I am an existing customer and would like to compliment Agustine on his good work.  He is always easy to communicate with and does an excellent job.  Thank you." ~Patricia T.

Agustine has been our team leader of the landscape lighting crew for several years and does an excellent job with not only the lighting work but with customer service too!
