Local context
Softscape in Castroville — what's different here.
Castroville sits in the inland foothills, where warmer summers, broader temperature swings, and rolling terrain shape every install. Soils here run to a mix of sandy loam and heavier clay depending on the parcel, and rural-residential parcels and larger lots that often involve grading and drainage decisions before installation.
Inland softscape can run the gamut — traditional turf, drought-tolerant beds, screening hedges for slope and wind. Soil testing pays off before planting.
What it looks like in practice:
- Expert plant selection
- Native and drought-tolerant options
- Professional installation
- Soil preparation and amendment
