Description
Veterans Park neighborhood, Culver City 90230We dug up the turf (two people working for two days). Over another month, I weeded any shoots of grass and remaining roots on a weekly basis. Steven Williams and Tom Rau (activists with the OFG Sub-Committee of the West LA/Malibu Surfrider Chapter) provided amazing assistance with respect to water retention advice, plant palette and design.
We installed rain chains (already had barrels) and hosted a OFG Garden Assistance Party. We had 8 people working together magnificently and installed everything in a matter of 4.5 hours, including lunch and discussion! Installation included:
- dry creek bed w/decorative rocks
- berm around periphery
- native plants (see list below) with 2-3 inches of mulch from fresh tree trimmings
- decomposed granite, brick and stone paver pathways
- directing 1,500 sq. ft. of roof area into the landscape
- we later made cuts in our driveway, making it permeable (800 sq. ft.)
We will add compost tea after I install a few more plants, mainly grasses.
