What grows well here

Fallbrook has warm, dry summers and mild winters with most of the year's rain falling between November and March. Plants from similar climates settle in and then ask for very little: lavender, rosemary, sages, agaves and aloes, kangaroo paw, olive, citrus, and California natives like manzanita and ceanothus.

The best time to plant most of them is fall. The soil is still warm, the rain is about to do the watering, and roots get months to establish before the first summer.

How a project runs

We walk the yard with you, measure, and talk through what you want it to look like and how much water and upkeep you are willing to give it. You get a written quote with quantities and unit prices. When you approve it we schedule the work and tell you the start day and how long it will take.

Thinking about taking out a lawn? Ask your water district whether a turf replacement rebate is open before any grass comes out. Programs that offer one usually require approval first.

Questions

Landscaping: what people ask.

How much does landscaping cost in Fallbrook, CA?

It depends on the project, so Lawn Casa posts unit prices: mulch from $115 per cubic yard delivered and spread, new sod from $3.25 per square foot, gravel or decomposed granite from $5 per square foot, and 5-gallon shrubs from $60 each, planted. Replacing a lawn with a low-water garden starts at $7 per square foot. Every project gets a written quote after a walk-through.

How much mulch do I need?

One cubic yard of mulch covers about 100 square feet at 3 inches deep. Measure the length and width of each bed in feet, multiply them, add the beds together and divide by 100.

When is the best time to plant in Fallbrook?

Fall, from about October through early December. The soil is still warm and winter rain helps new plants root in before summer. Spring planting works too but needs more water through the first summer.
