About Regenerative Living

For about two weeks every March the orange groves ringing Visalia bloom all at once, and the whole valley smells sweet from Ivanhoe to Woodlake. Regenerative Living starts its year in that stretch, working from the ground up: aerating compacted turf, topdressing with compost, overseeding thin areas, then mowing high so the roots stay shaded through the heat that is coming. Weed control follows the same logic — a thick stand of grass does most of the work, and the crew handles what gets past it. Valley soil rewards attention, and a lawn built this way drinks less and stands taller by July. The result is not flashy in April; it is obvious in August, when it is still green.
