Comments (9)Update: After several more hours of research, I think I'm down to a choice between Amerimax and Anlin. It seems that the Anlins may be slightly more efficient, but Amerimax has more choice and probably a lower price. People coming this week. As for California Deluxe, I can't find any published ratings, but it appears they are no more efficient than the other two, probably more expensive and the company has some shady sales techniques. If they call, I'll talk to them, but I don't see going that way. So any comment on Anlin vs Amerimax?...See MoreBest grass for Los Angeles?
Comments (91)Adrienne in Thousand Oaks: Regarding UC Verde Buffalo Grass, we installed it June 2021 so can attest to how it took watering twice a day to establish, then less frequently until we were watering twice a week with good results; I live in Thousand Oaks and were restricted to watering once a week for 15 minutes which was a good soak and it survived the limited watering last summer. When first planted as plugs we had a lot of weeds but it eventually filled in and is very thick. What we don't like is that is it dormant and brown in color from November to March; it has been slowly turning green in the last few weeks now that it is spring. It requires very little mowing, about once a month at most from spring to fall. The only way to buy it in Southern California is from FloraSource Ltd. They ship it as plugs in flats so it is labor intensive to have it installed; cost is twice that of sod....See MoreTips on grass type for Los Angeles area
Comments (31)The very best way is to hire a tractor (and driver) with a box blade. If it is a traditional SoCal yard, it will take about 30 minutes. Or you can DIY with some effort. Probably the hardest part is to figure out whether you need to remove soil that's already there. I'm going out on a limb here, because I see a lot more (LOT MORE) yards needing to remove soil, but I'm going to suggest you should remove soil. If the soil is higher than the surrounding hardscape, it should be removed down to, more or less, level with a slight crown in the middle for drainage. Once that is done you can deal with high and low spots. Assuming the grass is gone, then look for low spots to fill with sand. Smooth that off with a long 2x4 board with some weight on it. Or you can drag a piece of wire fencing around. I made a chain link drag with rope, wood, bag of sand (for weight), and fencing. It worked great for a small area. So with the drag you drag that around until it looks perfect. Then spray it all down with a mist of water to encourage the sand to settle without washing it away. Let that dry and fill the new low spots with more sand. Drag, water, and evaluate again. After about 3 cycles of that you should have a relatively perfect surface. Don't walk on that until the grass is down. Sand works better than topsoil for this because topsoil always has little clods in it. Even a 1/4-inch clod will make you scream as it creates a furrow in the sand. You can make it putting-green smooth, which is a great goal. After the sod is down, then use a roller to press the bottom of the sod down onto the surface of the soil/sand. Roots will not grow through the air to reach the ground. Of if it is a small area, you can achieve the same result by walking on every square inch of sod to press it down. Your weight is perfect for this. You might want the sand to be moist/firm when you do this. Dry sand might push around and defeat the purpose of leveling....See MorePlease Help Custom/Semi-Custom Kitchen Cabinets options Los Angeles
Comments (16)I would NEVER recommend using reform cabinets. I am a designer and ordered these for a client. After 17 weeks (the promised lead time was 14-16 weeks) we got the cabinets. Had the order come in accurate it wouldn't be a big deal that it was 1 week late. Unfortunately, they didn't come in even close to accurate and we have had to go back and forth multiple times to get the additional pieces that were either missing or incorrectly sized. It has now been 6 months since we placed the order and still don't have all of the missing or incorrect pieces. The customer service rep has told us multiple times that remaining pieces will be "completed next week" 3 times now and they have failed to meet the deadline twice. If they actually ship next week as told, we will have spent hours on phone calls and waited over 6 months to get the kitchen to be delivered accurately and completely....See MoreLars
