Siapin Horticulture: unique landscape design in Southern California

Posted by ZackManson

Landscape design firm in Southern California by Siapin Horticulture? A beautiful landscape design can transform a place from ordinary to extraordinary! While the basic exterior of a building may or may not be allowed to be changed or modified, but how the owner wants to do up or keep the garden is a personal choice. The garden area adds immense style and beauty to a house or commercial space, along with being the space that offers rejuvenation and peace. This comfort instantly magnifies when the landscape design of the garden is unique and beautiful. Landscape gardens are a class apart and can add tons of charm to any garden area.

Gutters and curbs transport flow fast to a stormwater drain without allowing for pollutant removal or infiltration using an inlet filter. Eliminating gutters and curbs can reduce runoff volumes and increase sheet flow. Maintaining sheet flow by removing gutters and curbs that direct runoff into bioretention basins and swales that are vegetated helps to prevent soil erosion by stormwater also helps retain hydraulic conditions (pre-development). A level distributor, which is a channel designed to convert concentrated discharge into a level stream and evenly distribute it on a slope, can also be included to prevent soil erosion.

Here at Siapin Horticulture, we do our best to use all of our specialties to exceed people’s expectations and construct things exactly how they ask. Starting off at the University Southern California COL/URH building, the contractor demoed all the plants to do repairs so we installed a new building and a new landscape to manufacture a wide planting, new style campus, and match the planting plan. By doing that, we had to use ornamental grasses and drought tolerant ground cover which gave a satisfying aura to the landscape. Our job at USC was big on plants so we also installed lomandra plants, carissa ground cover, raphiolepis, and new sod. See more information at landscape construction company in Southern California.

The company was started in 1962 by Jack Siapin with the goal of providing high quality landscape construction and maintenance throughout Southern California. In 1978 Jack’s son Daniel joined the firm and became a partner. In 1997, Jack retired selling his stock to Daniel. Daniel’s son Gabe has joined the firm and manages the Maintenance and construction division.

Bioretention cells refer to hollow patches of land with a permeable backfill under the surface filled with shrubs and greenery. Backfills are materials used to fill up excavation and facilitate the filtration of stormwater runoff by letting it pass through an underdrain. Also known as a rain garden, bioretention cells effectively drain pollutants off stormwater and prevent runoff from being pooling on the ground. They are most suited for parking lots and other enclosed areas where the ground does not absorb water. Curb and gutter elimination systems reduce the rapid and sudden transport of stormwater to a drainage system. They also allow for better infiltration and removal of polluting agents, as they reduce the flow of stormwater by increasing sheet flow. Sheet flow is the condition wherein stormwater is allowed to disperse and spread in a flat state. Being a level form of water flow, sheet flow decreases the occurrence of soil erosion and directs stormwater into bioretention basins.

Here at Siapin Horticulture we sometimes have to navigate many technical details when designing a landscape project take for example this job at Western Asset Plaza in Los Angeles where we had to blow in “lightweight soil” to reduce the weight load on the planters because underneath is a parking structure. We also kept in mind that though we have had plenty of rain here in So Cal we are still in drought mode. Read extra info at Siapin Horticulture Inc.
