Lantana is the plant that laughs at a Lennox summer — orange and pink right through heat that flattens everything else — and Lantana Landscaping Services takes the name seriously. Yards get built around that idea: lawns mowed and edged clean, beds shaped and planted with things that can stand a dry August out on the flats between the coast and the freeway. Mulch goes down, weeds come out, hedges get squared, and the sprinklers get checked so the water reaches roots instead of pavement. By July you can see from the street which yards were given a plan and which ones were left to argue with the sun. Color that survives the heat is the whole ambition here.
