What Makes Hawaiian Gardens Different
On a small lot, the front yard is most of the curb appeal. Clean edges, a well kept patch of lawn and one strong flower bed go a long way. Containers and narrow side beds add color without much upkeep.
The Ground In Hawaiian Gardens
USDA maps this as Hueneme and San Emigdio soils, about 61 to 65 percent sand. Hueneme rates somewhat poorly drained, even with all that sand.
- Sandy on top and slower below means do a drain test before you plant trees.
- Water less often and deeper than the sand suggests, then check how wet it is a foot down.
- The soil runs alkaline, so yellow leaves on acid lovers are common. Pick plants that like it.
Plants That Tend To Fit This Soil
- Yarrow
- Lantana
- Rosemary
- Deer grass
- Salvia
- Oleander

Lawn Removal Rebates
Metropolitan Water District runs SoCal Water$mart, which lists $3.00 per square foot for turf replacement in its service area. Your local agency may add to that or set its own terms, and synthetic turf is not an approved conversion. Check your address on the program site and get approved before you remove any lawn.
