“Tree selection for the Valley requires understanding the soil conditions, available space, and microclimate. Sycamore and mulberry trees are beloved for their shade but have aggressive root systems that damage driveways and sewer laterals within 10–15 years of planting. If you want a large shade tree, plant it at the perimeter of the lot, not within 30 feet of any hardscape or structure.”
Request that the landscape designer include underground utility locations (irrigation main line, site lighting conduit, drainage pipe) on a landscape 'as-built' drawing. This document shows where underground utilities are buried, preventing damage from future digging for landscaping changes, pool work, or hardscape modifications.
