Flower Power


Armando submitted this just in time for Easter greetings. Osteospermum or African Daisy is a member of the Asteraceae family. They like sunny, well-drained conditions and are a tender perennial; best in an area where the winters are frost-free.  Used as a ground cover and bedding plant in ornamental landscaping.
In this photo they look as if they are glowing - or had some fancy filter applied.  But if you do a web search for Osteospermum, lavender images you will find something close to this and other lavender variations as well.

Heritage Garden - Tree Planting

We installed several trees last week, including oranges, avocados and these 36" box Olive trees. This urban 'oasis' is really taking shape beautifully.  Our crews are working hard towards the shared vision of Heritage Garden, Escondido.  We will return this week to document the continued transformation!

Heritage Garden, Escondido


 Steven Smith Landscape, Inc. is currently participating in a collaborative effort to build a park in the City of Escondido, at the corner of Grand and Juniper. The planning stages for "Heritage Garden" have been underway for several months. All the materials and labor are being donated by local Escondido businesses. There is an extensive list of participants now and even more to be added. Steven Smith Landscape's first endeavor is to build an approximate 300 lf.of keystone retaining wall. RCP Block and Brick provided the materials for the wall. This is an exciting project that beautifies an otherwise vacant lot area owned by the City.  -Chris Cutler
