Our Landscaping is Complete - the Plants and Trees are in Full Bloom

Posted by  on 
Valley Haven's is so pleased our newly landscaped property is complete and in full bloom. With a auto     controlled drip system, just the right amount of water is fed to our plants, by measuring  the moisture in the air. Please drive by and take a look for yourself. 

  
We enjoy watching the birds use the bird baths

Looking over our property to the corner of Third and Maple

A second pergola draws our members into the yard for some outside activities.
Our members now have a shady place to enjoy outdoors.
A good view of one of the decomposed granite pathways.  A crape myrtle tree in in bloom. just give it a few years for a full display of pink flowers.

Thanks to our fantastic landscape architect, Laurel Brady, our property is both beautiful and drought tolerant.


Some of our path are concrete while others ate decomposed granite.

The forms are ready.  Let's pour!!

The patio and a walkway are complete

Linking the walkway to the front yard.

We are so grateful to the County of Santa Barbara for granting us the CDBG grant that is making the improvements to our property a reality.  With this grant money we are also able to satisfy our Conditional Use Permit requirement to install City sidewalks .  We expect to complete the hard-scape and the landscape by the end of May.  Come by and see the beautiful transformation.
