Phase 1 removed "the worst offenders":
- dead or dying shrubs
- shrubs inappropriate for their location
- overgrown scraggly shrubs at the end of their useful life
- shrubs blocking access to the side of the houses with fuse boxes and electric/gas meters,
We can now start transitioning to a new fresh more natural "soft" look. We will examine the remaining plant materials to see if additional removal is warranted, and decide on replacements.
Some places were simply too crowded and will benefit from a simpler look by letting the remaining plants grow out, others will need new plant material.
Our goal is to maintain a cohesive look by using the same plants throughout Mendocino while allowing for more diversity and character. If you want a bigger say in what goes into your front yard, please contact Emily Podgurski at MMS.
