XPO Park Living located in the Bankers Hill Community in San Diego offers a modern design. Featuring our Carbon Slate, no detail was spared on this project. Thank you to the design team at McCullough and Duarte Landscape.

Our first featured project is Willow Springs Park. This unique project is located at the highest elevation in the City of Long Beach CA. The inspiration for this project was a 360° topographical map showing the natural landscape within a 50 mile radius of downtown Long Beach. The change in elevation was established by utilizing over 1,600 linear feet of bender board, back filled with various shades of DSS supplied decomposed granite, creating

Using inorganic stone mulch provides long-term value in comparison to other organic mulching products. Unlike wood mulch, aggregates never have to be replaced, do not fade, are weed, pest, and mildew proof, and are virtually maintenance-free. When you take into consideration the time and money spent on replacing and maintaining other mulching materials, rock mulch is a long-term economical solution that adds value and beauty to any property.

Boulders are a great way to enhance your landscape design. Whether it accomplishes the aesthetic you're going for or for practical purposes like seating or barriers for safety purposes, boulders can be quite versatile. How much do they weigh though? Read on to find out.

These crisp cool fall months have traditionally been the start of an annual slow down in the number of projects in the installation phase. 2013 has bucked that trend for DSS and we continue to enjoy a substantial project log.

Decomposed granite, commonly referred to as D.G., is a small, fine material that is best used for ground cover on walkways, pathways, driveways, and garden trails. Their sizes range from 3/8” inches down to rock dust and this mixture of sizes allows for the correct blend of large particles “strength”, medium sizes “space filler”, and fines “binders”, to come together for a stable surface once wet and compacted. They can be the preferred option for ground cover not only because of their attractive design and style but also because of the low maintenance they provide. Because of this, D.G. is an excellent option to install as a xeriscape ground cover where little-to-no irrigation is needed, especially crucial for dryer, drought-prone areas.

Amongst all the Mexican Beach Pebble colors the most rare and arguably the most beautiful color is the Red Beach Pebbles.
