Now this work is questioned under last years Proposition 218 which says everyone must vote again on almost anything that costs money. It is this extensive landscaping work which gives the whole city its green and beautiful looks. Our residents have a major investment in their homes and property. Having the surrounding areas well maintained helps everyone live in a desirable area. It is our City's environmental beauty that keeps the property values of all Calabasas so high.
Public safety is even more important than our beautiful views.
As most of you know, geological safety can be a serious problem throughout the Santa Monica Mountains. We have long experience with landslides and mud flows. It is the proper planting and maintenance of hillside trees and shrubs that keeps these slopes safe. The roots of trees and plants help bind the soils and stabilize the hills. Drought tolerant and native species work best for hillsides.
