Landscaping in Casa Conejo, CA

Casa Conejo is a small unincorporated neighborhood of single-story homes built in the early 1960s, surrounded by Newbury Park. Many yards still have original layouts: front lawns, foundation shrubs, and aging sprinkler systems. Owners updating their homes often want modern, low-water landscapes.

Updating 1960s yards

Original sprinkler systems often leak and cover unevenly. Clay soils common in the Conejo Valley drain slowly, so drip irrigation and clay-tolerant plants work better than frequent spraying. Lawn conversions to drought-tolerant plants and gravel or pavers reduce water use and upkeep. Mature trees planted decades ago may shade parts of the yard and affect plant choices.

Water and permits

Casa Conejo is unincorporated, so the County of Ventura handles permits for walls, grading, and electrical work. Check your water bill to see which provider serves your address, then ask about current turf replacement or irrigation rebates. Many programs require approval before any work starts.
