Siapin Horticulture: unique landscape construction in California? Here at Siapin Horticulture we sometimes have to navigate many technical details when designing a landscape project take for example this job at Western Asset Plaza in Los Angeles where we had to blow in “lightweight soil” to reduce the weight load on the planters because underneath is a parking structure. We also kept in mind that though we have had plenty of rain here in So Cal we are still in drought mode.
Siapin Horticulture we believe urban areas are one of the best places for better management of rainwater management. Loaded with impenetrable surfaces, such as car parks, median strips, islands, etc., commercial landscapes become a motorway for deposited pollutants that drain off the ground and bombard surrounding soils with contaminants. These pollutants, such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, sediments, and even waste, pollute our flows and streams, making them the third largest source of pollution for lakes and the primary source of estuaries. By implementing a bio-genetics system, you can filter these pollutants and delay the drainage of the rainwater by reducing and improving the discharge quality naturally and aesthetically.
A garden adds style, beauty and so much breathing space to any house or building! Many people living in busy streets and cities, crave to have their own garden, just for the serenity it offers.

A nice patio that is also environmentally friendly is something a lot of people want to be around. We were able to make that happen here at Siapin Horticulture. During this high profile project in Fox Plaza in Century City, we installed a new patio for the office building. Aside from just adding a new seating area, this project was unique because of the “epic system”, which captures all rainwater on sight and stores in the pipes on the ground which feeds the plants. This is a better technique than just recycling the water. Something else that might stand out is the drip irrigation which also has the potential to save water by granting the water to slowly go down to the roots of the plants, that way the water can most likely go directly into the roots and help avoid evaporation.
Siapin Horticulture designed rainwater drainage systems are an essential part of the design process for construction projects related to residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and public works. Engineers must design this kind of systems and installed by experienced contractors of pipelines. Rainwater drainage systems must meet the criteria set out in the best management practices. Guidelines for the best management practices have been developed to regulate rainwater drainage and to protect air quality, nature and the environment.
