Davis is built around bike paths and tree lined streets, and the city takes its urban forest seriously, there are ordinances covering street trees near downtown and the older bungalow neighborhoods that mean trimming has to be done with the city's rules in mind, not just the homeowner's preference. Clay and adobe soil under most yards holds water in winter and cracks hard in summer, which changes how sod and mulch beds need to be prepped compared to sandier ground elsewhere in the region.

Being surrounded by farmland, Davis also runs hotter and drier through summer than towns closer to the river, and that has pushed a strong local preference for drought tolerant rock and mulch landscaping over solid turf, especially in newer areas like Mace Ranch and Wildhorse where water use gets watched closely.
