How does GreenPal Work?

Common questions about how GreenPal can help you hire the best lawn care service in San Diego

Do we need to have an irrigation system within our San Diego property?
San Diego area property managers benefit by its relatively consistent climate. It is typically cooler than the Los Angeles area because more of the city is closer to the Pacific Ocean. Residents of the inland valleys will, however, generally experience higher temperatures, especially during the spring and summer months. However, having a properly maintained irrigation system is of the utmost importance as San Diego averages less than one inch per month of rain at 11.7 inches per year. By comparison, Los Angeles averages 15.5 inches of rain. Consequently, lawns need to be properly watered while water themed landscaping (pond, waterfall, etc.) must have sufficient irrigation in place. Labor and materials costs for needing to replace dried out or burnt sod continue to rise, whereas a well performing irrigation systems eliminates the need to constantly replace.
Which types of shrubs grow best in the San Diego climate?
With so little rainfall, native and "drought tolerant" plants and shrubs are the way to go when it comes to landscaping in San Diego. The Mexican Bush Sage, Silver Carpet, and Sheep Fescue are worthy of consideration. It is important to understand which portions of your property receive or need more shade than others. Some choices are more for adding shade vs. being "drought tolerant". Others to consider are the California Lilac, Scarlet Larkspur, Bottle Brush Tree, and the Douglas Iris.
What is the average cost for a landscaping project in San Diego?
Your answer depends upon the scope of the landscaping project, and is separate from costs for ongoing landscape maintenance. If looking at a small planting project, your budget might be in the $500 to $800 range. For a mid-size project including basic construction and/or installation, your budget could range from $800 to $4,000. Larger projects, especially when drawings, landscape architecture, and construction are needed, typically range between $4,000 and $12,000. Important variables include whether your project is for renovation of an existing plan or starting new.
What is the best time of the year in San Diego to replace dead plants?
Typically early spring is a good time of the year for replacing dead plants and shrubs. However, the ultimate cause of the need for replacing can easily factor in to your decision. For example, if a severe summer drought causes shrubs to die, it is best to not wait all the way through the winter until the following spring.
How often should I water my lawn in San Diego?
It's generally recommended to water your lawn deeply and infrequently. Typically, watering 1-2 times per week during warmer months and adjusting based on rainfall is sufficient. However, factors like soil type, grass type, and weather conditions should also be considered when determining watering frequency.
What are the common lawn pests in San Diego?
Common lawn pests in San Diego include armyworms, cutworms, grubs, and various types of beetles. These pests can damage grass by feeding on roots or foliage, leading to brown patches and thinning turf. Integrated pest management strategies, such as proper lawn maintenance and targeted pesticide application, can help control these pests effectively.
When is the best time to fertilize my lawn in San Diego?
The best time to fertilize your lawn in San Diego is during the spring and fall seasons. Applying fertilizer in spring helps promote healthy growth as the grass enters its active growing phase. Fall fertilization helps strengthen the grass roots and prepare the lawn for the winter months. Use a slow-release fertilizer and follow recommended application rates to avoid over-fertilization and potential environmental damage.
How do I prevent weeds in my San Diego lawn?
Preventing weeds in your San Diego lawn involves a combination of cultural practices and herbicide applications. Regular mowing, proper watering, and overseeding to promote dense turf growth can help suppress weed growth. Additionally, applying pre-emergent herbicides in early spring and late summer can prevent weed seeds from germinating. Post-emergent herbicides can be used to control existing weeds as needed, following label instructions carefully to avoid damage to the grass.
What are the best types of grass for lawn care in San Diego?
The best types of grass for lawn care in San Diego include Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, and Kikuyu. Bermuda grass is popular for its drought tolerance and ability to withstand foot traffic, making it a top choice for many San Diego homeowners. St. Augustine grass is known for its lush, green appearance and tolerance to salt spray, making it suitable for coastal areas. Zoysia grass offers a dense, carpet-like appearance and thrives in warm climates, while Kikuyu grass is valued for its rapid growth and ability to recover quickly from wear and tear. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure and water requirements when selecting the best grass for your lawn in San Diego.

About San Diego California

San Diego is a city in California, United States.

Garden maintenance services location map for San Diego CA 92121

San Diego, California is one of the cities in the state whose city name is also its state. It is a major city in the state, garnishing a noted spot on most maps and globes of the world. Its one-and-a-half million people in the city make San Diego the eight largest city in the United States, but it also makes it the second-largest in the state of California.

In addition to being the second largest city in California, San Diego is also the second largest border city. Detroit and its bordering city Windsor is the only border community that surpasses San Diego and Tijuana, almost quadrupling its population. San Diego is commonly referenced to as the birthplace of California. The area has a prehistoric history, mostly about the Kumeyaay people of the area, prior to the European invasion beginning in 1542 by Juan Rodgriguez Cabrillo. He landed on the continent and claimed the city for Spain, beginning a long tie between indigenous peoples...

He landed on the continent and claimed the city for Spain, beginning a long tie between indigenous peoples of Mexico and Europe.

Because San Diego was one of the main portals the Spanish had into the area, the history of San Diego is well documented. From the various explorers and settlers that came to survey and stake claim on the land, to missions being established (in fact, San Diego is named after Cabrillo landed on the beach near Mission Bay and Point Lima in his ship San Diego).

Spanish settlement continued up until the indigenous people and Mexican citizens wished to secede from Spanish rule. What began was a long and arduous fight and transition of countries, gaining independence from Spain in the late nineteenth century and allying with Mexico, but then being the center of a land takeover by the United States in the twentieth century. As history stands today, this part of California belongs to the United States, but many still claim that the area known as San Diego today is rightfully the Mexican people. Only the annals of history, and the preferences of their authors, will record the area as being rightfully owned by either party.
