29 Playa Vista Elementary Playa Vista, CA

30 Playa Vista Elementary Agapanthus africanus Lily of the Nile

31 Playa Vista Elementary Soil Analysis

32 Playa Vista Elementary What We Found High salinity along with border-line high Boron and off the charts Sulfate readings Normal soil ph Recommendation Provide a list of reclaimed water tolerant plants Apply gypsum to scratched soil per soil analysis report. Drench to leach out salts.

33 Playa Vista Elementary Where did all of the irrigation heads go?

34 Playa Vista Elementary What We Found Recommendation Inefficient irrigation system Repair or replace pressure regulator

35 Playa Vista Elementary

36 Playa Vista Elementary What We Found Recommendation Rough turf Repair irrigation system Organic only campus; therefore tough to use weed and feed Define best practices for turf care

37 David Starr Jordan High School Los Angeles, CA

38 David Starr Jordan High School

39 David Starr Jordan High School What We Found Poor soil performance in Bioswale - Plants leaning - Plants growth inhibited Recommendation Soil samples taken to lab Lab submitted report to general contractor for review and submitted to LAUSD

40 David Starr Jordan High School Hemerocallis x Strawberry Candy Strawberry Candy Daylily

41 David Starr Jordan High School Ceanothus griseus var. hortizontalis Yankee Point Yankee Point California Lilac

42 David Starr Jordan High School What We Found Irrigation system accidently left turned off over the summer and restarted in Fall Recommendation Request an authorization for fungal treatment after removal of dead and diseased plants Replace dead and diseased plants Check irrigation system timers regularly Advised Landscape Contractor to instruct facility maintenance supervisor on irrigation timer

43 David Starr Jordan High School Muhlenbergia rigens Deergrass

44 David Starr Jordan High School What We Found Recommendation Muhlenbergia rigens (Deergrass) color off Soil lab test to confirm proper soil blend Feed with Nitrogen or incorporate Nitrogen fixing plants within the planting area to improve foliage color.

45 Mt. San Antonio College Walnut, CA

46 Mt. San Antonio College

47 Mt. San Antonio College Pittosporum tenuifolium Golf Ball Golf Ball Kohuhu Pittosporum tobira Mock Orange Photinia x fraseri Red Tip Photinia

48 Mt. San Antonio College What We Found Recommendation Pittosporum tenuifolium (Kohuhu) removed Water was on too long; landscape contractor was unfamiliar with the drought tolerant plant Fungus on plants

49 Lessons Learned Post irrigation maintenance audit results regularly for facilities maintenance team and principals to view. Seek professional advice for the on-going care of drought tolerant and native plants. Determine how to make your campus a living laboratory; partnering with local universities on landscape performance. Develop a campus action plan whenever the landscape system shows signs of underperformance.
