Blame the hot climate in Woodland Hills on the Santa Monica Mountains, which block 85% of the Pacific Ocean’s cool breezes. But the area's Mediterranean summers are perfect for growing citrus, avocados, walnuts, and macadamia nuts.

A diverse array of vegetation adorns our landscapes, from hardy succulents like Aloe and Crassula, to vibrant Bougainvillea, fragrant Jacaranda, and sweet Clementines and Pomegranates. Evergreen perennials like California Holly and White Bottlebrush shrubs add year-round beauty.

Woodland Hills is subject to temperature extremes, with winter lows ranging from 10°F to 27°F (-12°C to 3°C). In September 2020 temperatures reached 121°F (49.4°C), breaking all previous records in the area.

A lot of what’s going on in Woodland Hills lies under your feet. What you don’t know could hurt you.
