During a landscaping project, we’ll be planting various plants and shrubs. It’s helpful to understand when California’s climate will support your new installations best. Despite Los Angeles’ beautiful year-round weather, the best time to plant trees, shrubs, and plants is in the late summer and early fall. Doing so helps the installations develop a healthy root system and get enough water. If you wait too long, they’ll be exposed to the heat of summer before they’re ready to grow.
