Drought Tolerant Plants

Congratulations!!!  to the City of Laguna Hills for installation of the new and improved gazebo at Santa Maria and San Remo! And supplying A PORTION OF paint to make the wall more of a positive greeting to our neighborhood.

   GROUP PHOTO   "We Did It"

This group of ambitious neighbors responded to the call

for help painting - arrived 9:00 am & completed by 11:30

Landscape maintenance supervisor Ryan Hanley has suggested several improvements currently under consideration:

  • Installation of a 'french drain' to help divert hillside run-off from running over the front of the wall

  • Soil enhancements to encourage better growth on the hillside above the wall

  • Completed a good Pressure wash the wall to remove loose paint 

  • Current Plan: Plant fig ivy at the foot of the wall to provide a lasting wall protection over the coming years. (irrigation installed too.)

LTBT was Honored...The Heritage Day event provided u
a check of $517 - proceeds for the ABC License and sales which we had

.... acquired

Wall painting   and healthy plants at the base have been the needed beautification here...

Coffee & doughnuts:

We need your succulent donations - you may leave at the gazebo

 A vote was taken in June and the color "grizzly" won ! 
Thereafter, It was used on a fence on Teramo and approved  by the neighbors there.

Recent Work:

9/18/23:  Staff installed fig ivy to eventually cover the wall in 4 to 5 years.
 & Excess soil  removed.

HISTORY of this effort

  • June 1st  2022  Presentation to the Parks and Recreation Commission - the video was well received and Consultant Dick Fisher was in attendance.

  • July LTBT has continued to meet with City staff and discuss priorities, including the highest immediate priority our  'entry wall' on San Remo at Santa Maria.

  • The gazebo at the entry to our community WAS being further discussed to identify funding and planned installation.  Board members  Stephen Hooley , and Harry Huggins met August 22nd with Council Woman Erica Pezold  in City Hall to discuss the plans and design for a Gazebo at our Community Entrance at Santa Maria  and San Remo. SEE PROJECTS for more details

  • Re-conditioning the "Entry Wall'  remains a priority

    • There were thoughts that refinishing the ​wall could be a stone finish similar to the bottom support posts of the proposed gazebo. But Painting is less expensive

  • Securing improvements to ​neglected homes  was discussed at length

  • How to inspire better care of open space along major streets as being "view-corridors" to improve the City.
