Simi Valley, Ventura County
Landscape design and construction in Simi Valley
Hot inland summers, clay soils, and properties on the wildland edge.
Brooks Landscape and Design designs and builds landscapes in Simi Valley, Ventura County, from a yard in Moorpark, California. The company is family owned and has been working in this county since 1986, doing the design, the hardscape, the pools, and the planting and irrigation with its own crews.
What is different about building in Simi Valley
Simi Valley runs hot in summer and cold at night in winter, with heavier clay in parts of the valley floor and decomposed granite on the slopes. Neighbourhoods on the north and south edges sit directly against open hillside.
Planting that survives a Simi Valley summer
Plant selection in Simi Valley is a climate decision rather than a taste decision. Our service area covers coastal plain, the Conejo Valley and hot inland valleys within roughly twenty miles, and a palette that thrives in marine air struggles in an inland August. Choosing correctly for the specific property is also the cheapest drought tolerance available, because a plant suited to where it stands needs less water for the whole of its life without anybody managing it.
Getting it right is also what keeps a garden looking deliberate rather than merely full. A plant suited to its position holds its shape, needs less cutting back, and does not have to be replaced in three years by something that should have been there in the first place.
