Dinsmore Pro Tips

Neglected landscapes aren’t just unattractive — they pose real safety and compliance risks.

Landscaping thrives when it’s planned seasonally, not week to week. Turf, plant health, and water use all follow seasonal rhythms.

Most irrigation systems waste water daily — through zone overlap, poor scheduling, and hidden leaks.

Swapping contractors every year to chase price might look good on paper — but it almost always leads to short-term gains and long-term pain. New crews, lost site knowledge, and disruption erode quality fast.

Blanket spraying for weeds or pests is outdated — and risky. Today’s smart portfolios use IPM (Integrated Pest Management), seasonal strategy, and PHC (Plant Health Care) programs.

Cities and water districts are offering cash-back rebates for turf removal, smart irrigation upgrades, and other sustainable improvements — but funding is limited.

Architectural landscape plans look sharp on paper but often miss the realities of maintenance, irrigation, and long-term plant performance.

Landscapes can appear fine at a glance, but surface-level beauty often hides deeper performance issues.

Turf may seem simple, but it consumes more water, chemicals, and labor than any other plant on your property.

Bioswales aren’t just a green feature — they’re a regulatory requirement. Neglected bioswales lead to flooding, fines, and costly remediations.
