Full Circle: Yes you can grow big tomatoes in Nevada! It is easy if you understand how Nevada soils function. We can help. This is just native Nevada (horrible) soil that has been amended with BOOST soil amendment. BOOST is designed to fix Nevada soils so you can do this. It is all-natural and made from almost 100% recycled Lake Tahoe materials! Let's grow!

We designed and installed 16 custom planters around the front and side patio using a curated mix of climate-appropriate plants, stylish containers, and proper drainage for long-term health.
Here’s what went into it:
- 3D design to visualize layout, proportion, and plant placement
- Assorted planters with filler, perlite, raised garden soil + soil amendment
- A mix of sculptural and evergreen plantings, including:
• Dracaena trifasciata 'Laurentii'
• Boxwood Beauty Natal Plum
• Purple Majesty Chinese Fringe Flower
• Foothill Sedge
• Obsession Heavenly Bamboo
• Ray of Light Agave
• Woolly Grevillea, Snake Plant, Tradescantia & more

We designed & installed plantings with year-round interest harmonious with the post-Victorian home. The sandy soil was amended for greater moisture retention. The profuse plantings afford clients greater privacy. Pollinator-friendly.

This is a turf reseed project in only 14 days! AMAZING. All we did was rake out the soil and existing turf. Spread drought tolerant grass seed. Cover with 1/4 of BOOST soil amendment. Water and BOOOM. 14 days and good as green. Full Circle Soils & Compost

Scott & Catherine Buley, HTT&T, High Tech Turf & Trees, LandscapeMakeover.biz, Rain Garden Nursery. As a matter of fact, these protected seed pockets also hold fertilizer, water and soil amendments, reducing concern about irrigation or wind, traffic etc., disturbing the seed or seedlings. By taking one pass at around 4" deep, we bring up perfect aeration plugs, that are further broken up into topdressing when we take a final pass or two, at just 1/2" depth. All the surface depressions are then roughly 1/2" deep, with loosened soft soil and amendments to start the new seedlings. Very few aerators on the market will do this with perfectly vertical "un-crushable" seed pockets. Our aerators weight 1000 lbs. and up, but distribute weight to the tines only, as they have large suspending rollers. Their tines work perfectly vertically, something rental machines inherently can't do. Others place "leaning" plug holes, that crush down sideways under pressure, reducing ultimate seedling survival. We've found and use the largest diameter tines, to create plug pockets capable of growing seedlings for maximum early coverage and survival.

Some yards don't need a tweak. They need a reset. We took this one down to a blank slate and rebuilt it as a low-maintenance, low-water courtyard made for actually being outside.
What went in: light broom-finish concrete with modern control joints for clean lines, Daytona 103oz turf that stays green without a drop of water, and a Del Rio pebble garden threading through it all. We layered in drought-friendly plants, succulents, and trees, each set in amended soil and fed by a smart drip system that waters only what's needed.
Then the details that make it feel finished: a 42" incense cedar courtyard fence with double gates, a 5.5-foot modern backyard gate, and low-voltage ESUNN lighting on a smart transformer, so the whole space carries into the evening.
Built once, built right, and easy to live with from here on out.

Eradication of both cool season and warm season transitional weeds thru selective treatment. as it was at poor dormant stasis with the time of year be it mid May and should have been in mid activity, we amended soils both tending to its structure foundation and also tending to the turf types needs at one time the week prior, then properly mowed and cleaned up the turf areas.
