About La Cresta, CA

Perched on the Santa Rosa Plateau, La Cresta runs cooler than the valley floor below, with a Mediterranean climate marked by warm, dry summers, crisp evenings, and a bit more winter rain. That elevation brings more frequent frosts, and an occasional dusting of snow in rare storms, so plant placement and species choices matter. We often position cold-tender plants closer to the house, near stone walls or sheltered courtyards, and reserve tougher natives and Mediterranean species for outer zones. Irrigation in La Cresta is designed for deep rooting, wider spacing, and generous mulching so trees and shrubs can ride out summer heat and plateau breezes with less water. Natural stone, decomposed granite drives, boulders, and subtle swales reinforce the oak-woodland character while managing runoff on long slopes and protecting roads, arenas, and barns.

La Cresta’s Santa Rosa Plateau soils range from shallow, rocky granitic profiles on ridges and oak-studded slopes to somewhat deeper loams in meadows and along seasonal drainages. The better-drained, rocky ground is ideal for Mediterranean and California native species that prefer not to sit in water, Engelmann and coast live oak, manzanita, buckwheat, rosemary, lavender, and sages all feel at home among the boulders. In deeper or heavier soils near homes and barns, we often amend with compost, selectively use gypsum where sodium is an issue, and add broad, organic mulching to improve infiltration and protect roots from temperature swings. For long-term structure, we lean on heat- and cold-tolerant anchors like oaks, desert willow, olives, and arbutus, layered with deer grass, toyon, ceanothus, and other natives that provide habitat and seasonal color without demanding high water use. Where clients want lawn, we recommend keeping turf small, warm-season, and close to the house for easy irrigation with MP rotators or subsurface drip. On the plateau’s slopes and long drives, we contour with berms, stone headwalls, and rock check structures that slow runoff, capture more water on-site, and reduce erosion on roads, arenas, and pastures.
