Gardening and landscaping in Tehachapi is not an easy task. The native soil in some areas is less than desirable, rodents love to nibble on tender fresh roots and the deer and elk are known to remove a branch or two from trees. While all of that may seem daunting there is still plenty of opportunity for success. In fact, its those things that make us all value where we live and appreciate it even more when we get our gardens and landscapes to thrive.
