The Hawthorne Boulevard Median Beautification Project consists of removing existing asphalt in the medians of Hawthorne Boulevard, between Crest Road and Palos Verdes Drive West, and installing new landscaping. The new landscaping will include bio-swales, Palos Verdes rock boulders, Black Mexican Beach Cobble and new drought-tolerant trees and shrubs. The project also include a one-year contract for monthly watering and maintenance to help new trees and shrubs establish themselves and help ensure their longevity.
