Landscaping is a benefit to all our neighbors and visitors in Arroyo Grande. Creating colorful, beautiful spots throughout the city creates pride in the community and shows our visitors we care.

Our focus when designing an area to be landscaped is to be sensitive to our Mediterranean climate and use plants that tend to be drought tolerant and in the case of some historical settings, to use plant material that is reflective to that era.

For a list of plants that do well in our climate, please see our Plant List in the Resources page.
