The Natural Front Yards Process (Part 4): Finishing Touches and Watching it Grow

Finishing touches

When we finish a yard, we create an informal sketch labeling all the plants for the client.  If you applied for a rebate with the water district, we provide you the proper information about the plants in your yard to receive the rebate.

We apply a preparation of compost tea, which feeds beneficial soil organisms and helps the plants get settled in their new homes.

Once everything is all set up, it is time to relax, sit back, and watch the plants as they start to fill in!

When the plants are first planted, they look very small and spread out because we use young plants to minimize customer costs.

However, they will fill in when they reach their adult size.
