Preparing your Home for the Holidays with Last-minute Improvements
The festive season is here and it's time to make your home warm, welcoming and ready for celebration. Start by decluttering and giving each room a quick refresh.

If you're hosting, dress up the dining table with fresh linens and a simple centerpiece. Prepare the guest room with fresh bedding and a few thoughtful extras. Don't forget to check your pantry and supplies before the big gatherings begin. And if your pre-holiday checklist includes home repairs or last-minute improvements, Lenton Company's Bob Jobs division is here to help.

Transform your Lawn for a Beautiful, Water-wise Spring
Spring is just around the corner - and there's no better time to rethink your landscape! Replacing your grass with a water-wise design not only creates a stunning yard that thrives year-round, but it also helps you save water and money.
Through SCV Water's Lawn Replacement Program, residents can receive $3 per square foot to remove thirsty turf and install sustainable, California-friendly landscaping. Whether you're drawn to colorful native plants, decorative rock features or efficient drip irrigation, your new outdoor space can be both beautiful and eco-friendly.
Why make the switch? Traditional lawns can use up to 50 percent of a home's water - and much of that is wasted through overwatering or runoff. By choosing California-native plants and implementing smarter irrigation, you'll help preserve our local water supply and reduce maintenance costs. Plus, these landscapes attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds, adding vibrant life to your yard.
Getting started is easier than you think! SCV Water offers free landscape design resources, workshops and rebates for smart controllers and efficient irrigation equipment. Start planning your project now so your yard will be ready to bloom when spring arrives.
Together, our community can create beautiful landscapes that thrive in every season and protect the Santa Clarita Valley's most precious resource: water. For more information and to apply for the Lawn Replacement Program, visit yourscvwater.com/rebates.


Four Ways to Harmoniously Blend Diverse Materials to Craft a Rich, Layered Space
Yes, your home can have a thoughtful contrast of texture, tone and reflection. Here's how.
1. Mix materials to bring in depth and balance to your design, like the built-in bar here.
2. Rely on organic textures - like this handcrafted blue tile - to contrast with sleek elements, like the veining of the marble countertop. It will create visual tension that feels intentional and elevated.
3. Add in layers of softness and warmth to ground your cooler tones. Here, warm oak cabinetry and brass hardware make this job look effortless.
4. Include elements of transparency and lightness to keep corners from feeling heavy. In this room, the glass pendants and open shelving make the space feel expansive.

Go Green After the Holidays & Recycle your Trees & Wreaths
You can give your fresh (But likely dry and ready to be composted!) trees and wreaths a new life after the holidays by recycling them! Fresh trees and wreaths can be dropped off in designated bins throughout the city, or place your trees curbside on your regular collection day. Wreaths can be placed inside your green organics bin. Common sense tip: Be sure to remove all lights, tinsel, ornaments and stands. Unfortunately, flocked trees will be collected and disposed of as trash - they can't be recycled.
