Working in Aliso Viejo
Climate & hardiness zone
Aliso Viejo sits in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 10b, with minimum temperatures of 35β40Β°F and no meaningful frost season. Zone 10b is one of the most favorable climates for landscaping in the United States β a near-endless growing season, but also near-endless water demand. Experienced contractors here design around California's water restrictions, favor Mediterranean and drought-adapted species, and build irrigation systems calibrated for year-round operation. The absence of frost also means pest and disease pressure never resets β a contractor who understands Zone 10b biology is worth asking about.
