About Riverside, CA

Riverside is situated in California’s Inland Empire, characterized by a hot, semi-arid climate; long, dry summers that regularly reach into the 90s-100s °F, mild winters in the 40s-60s, and most of its ~10-12 inches of rain falling between November and March. Santa Ana winds can dry plants quickly, so designs that emphasize deep-rooted, drought-tolerant species and incorporate generous organic mulch are best suited. Think water-wise palettes built from Inland Southern California natives: California buckwheat, toyon, Cleveland and white sage, desert willow, red yucca, and deergrass; supplemented with climate-adapted Mediterranean plants like rosemary, lavender, and olive. Drip irrigation, hydrozoning, and gravel or decomposed granite topdressings help control evaporation and keep landscapes tidy during prolonged dry spells.

Soils across Riverside are largely alluvial; sandy loams and loams along the Santa Ana River with pockets of heavier clay on older sites, and tend to run slightly alkaline (often pH 7.5-8). That means good drainage in many yards, but occasional compaction or perched water in clayey spots. Raised beds, broad-spectrum compost, and aeration improve root zones. At the same time, elemental sulfur or acid-forming fertilizers help plants that prefer lower pH levels. Citrus, the city’s historic crop, still thrives with regular deep watering and mulch; avocados need wind protection and excellent drainage. For new plantings, dig wide (not just deep), set emitters to long, infrequent cycles to encourage deep roots, and expect to adjust schedules after hot, windy events. Mulch 3-4 inches deep, keeping it off the trunks, and you’ll have a resilient Riverside landscape that stays attractive with minimal water.
