I have had my business since mid 2007 and since then I have learned a thing or two about marketing my business and what social media platforms work best. I found that YouTube and Instagram were the two main platforms that elevated my business.
In this video, I share with you how social media in general benefitted my business and what worked and still works.
When I was contacted by the homeowners, they had one requests. They wanted the artificial turf in their front yard replaced. It was there when they bought the house and they hated it. So did I. Truth be told I do not see any value in having fake turf anywhere.
We decided due to budget reasons to keep all the existing hardscape. This is what I tell my clients when it comes to existing hardscape. If it's not a hazard and you don't hate it, then let's not break the bank and leave it be. In this case we added pavers to not only extend the seating area but also create a path to the side gate.
The plants are mostly California native and mulched using decomposed granite. There is also decorative pottery and boulders used to add some pizzazz to the garden.
I get asked all the time by my clients about irrigation. Do I need an irrigation system? Can't I just hand water. The truth is that yes you can hand water. But you have to water each plant for 10 minutes at least thrice weekly during the first 4-6 months after the install. Is that something that you can realistically do? The answer I get is always "Oh! I don't have time for that". In this video I share with you why you should consider an irrigation system.
