Siapin Horticulture: unique landscape design in California? The Palm tree is synonymous with the Los Angeles scene, Siapin Horticulture proved that in a urbanized city setting you can still keep that “Los Angeles” or “California Vibe” by planting a palm tree right in the middle of your design or in this case an American Apparel retail space. This project had many details including perfectly positioning the palm in place and installing a access door for proper maintenance.
How Bioretention works: Do you remember the science class at the university when you made a water purification project at the end with a water bottle, fine sand, fine sand, pebbles, and a coffee filter? A Bioretention is almost the same concept with a few small details added. These shallow depressions in the landscape are designed to mimic the mechanisms of the removal of pollutants in our forest ecosystems that slow down and treat the outflow. Consisting of different elimination mechanisms, each with a specific role, the bioretention zone will intercept the water that flows out of your car park by slowing it down and capturing the various pollutants it has caused. Mechanisms such as a sand bed for filtration, absorption through vegetation, a shallow pond, soil particles, and mulch will help filter pollutants and distribute water evenly in the soil environment.

Here at Siapin Horticulture Inc, Including OC Father and Son Gabriel Siapin and Daniel Siapin we make sure that the job that’s needed, gets done right. The new Starbucks in Santa Ana needed a new landscaping job to be done to top everything off. The landscape we had to make was pretty basic but we made sure to still make this starbucks have pleasant surroundings. We did this job as this Starbucks was being built, so coordinating on time was something we had to keep in mind. Our installations were environmentally friendly. We installed drought tolerant planting, which is very beneficial in grouping plants in landscaping. Drought tolerant plants release moisture in the air. We also installed new drip irrigation grasses with a bioswale around it. Bioswales are helpful in recharging groundwater and they also convey stormwater runoff and remove pollution. We accomplished all this with low water usage.
The use of permeable pavement is a stormwater BMP which allows for more environmentally sound outdoor flooring. It is a more feasible alternative to concrete and asphalt flooring in preventing runoff, erosion, and water pollution. Stormwater is absorbed through the porous surface and drains into a stone reservoir. Stormwater runoff is temporarily stored in the reservoir until it is infiltrated into the subsoil. Sand and organic filters let water drain into a sand bed, composed of organic filters which remove impurities from stormwater runoff. Sand beds effectively filter floatables, metals, and other pollutants from stormwater. They improve the quality of water treatment and reduce the amounts of sediments and fecal coliform bacteria in stormwater runoff. This form of stormwater BMP is used as a stage of the water treatment process, usually before stormwater is discharged into groundwater or other receiving areas.
