Palos Verdes Peninsula & South Bay Spring Planting: Restore Your Yard After Heavy Rain
We all know the saying, “Spring showers bring flowers,” but they also bring weeds. After a heavy rain your yard can become overwhelmed with overgrown weeds, soggy soil, and damaged plants. So, how do you restore your yard and bring it back to life this Spring? Here’s your guide to reviving your outdoor space.
Weed Overgrowth: 🌿
After a good rain weeds can quickly take over your yard. This rapid growth can crowd out your plants and take away nutrients from your garden.
How It’s fixed: Jonakee Landscaping clears out invasive weeds and uses sustainable methods to prevent them from returning, ensuring your plants have the space and nutrients they need to not just survive, but thrive. We recommend planting California native plants which are naturally resilient to pests, diseases and drought, and thrive in the South Bay or Palos Verdes Peninsula area. These plants will outcompete weeds and require less maintenance, helping your garden flourish!
Mulch and Ground Cover: (Preventative) 🪵
Your garden can benefit from a fresh layer of mulch or a ground cover to maintain its health. Mulch suppresses weeds, stabilizes soil temperatures, and retains moisture which is crucial following heavy rain.
How It’s fixed: We top off mulch around your plants to ensure ongoing moisture retention, weed suppression, and soil protection. Ground covers are also used to help prevent new weed growth and reduce the need for constant maintenance. This acts as a protective layer, keeping your garden looking and feeling great in the long run.
Damaged or Toppled Plants 🌱
Noticing any bare spots in your garden? Sometimes heavy rain causes plants to topple over or become damaged.
How It’s fixed: We replace any damaged plants with sturdy, native plants that are better suited for the South Bay or Palos Verdes Peninsula environment. Strong natives like California Poppies, Western Redbuds, and Manzanita are designed to withstand our area’s specific weather conditions and provide lasting beauty to your garden.
Why Plant Native? 🌼
When you plant native, you’re not only restoring your garden, but also creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly space.
Native Plants:
Thrive in our local social and climate conditions, reducing the need for pesticides or chemicals.
Attract local wildlife like pollinators and birds🐦.
Requires less water and fertilizer💧.
Outcompetes weeds naturally🌾.
