Inland NCSD has its own logic
Landscape design inland is a different discipline than coastal. Vista specifically has:
- Hotter summer afternoons \u2014 irrigation run times peak 20\u201340% higher than coastal. Smart controllers pay back faster here.
- Lower humidity, less fungal pressure \u2014 turf does better than on the coast, but needs more water.
- Variable soil \u2014 pockets of heavy clay, pockets of decomposed granite. A single property can have both.
- Mature citrus culture \u2014 lots of Vista yards have 30+ year old orange, grapefruit, lemon, avocado trees. Preserving and pruning them properly is part of what we do here.
Our Vista-specific specialties
Two things we do a lot of in Vista:
- Acreage irrigation redesigns \u2014 older systems on 1\u20133 acre lots often have drift, over-pressure, and dead zones. We re-engineer zone-by-zone with proper pressure regulation and coverage mapping.
- Heritage citrus rehabilitation \u2014 neglected citrus orchards brought back with proper pruning, feeding, and integrated pest management. A good citrus program can turn a tired grove into the best feature of your yard.
