Is the site visit free?
Yes, on qualifying projects, which generally means work of about $10,000 and up. We walk the property with you, talk through what you want and follow up with a written scope and price.
Do you take small jobs?
Our crews are set up for projects that typically run 2 to 12 weeks. If yours is smaller, text a photo to (805) 797-3346 and the office will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.
Are you licensed?
Yes. We are a California C-27 landscaping contractor, CSLB Lic. #1102401, and we carry workers' compensation insurance for our crew. You can check the license any time on the CSLB website.
How long does a project take?
Most of our projects run 2 to 12 weeks, depending on size, materials and permits. A patio or walkway is on the short end; a full backyard with walls, patios and an outdoor kitchen is on the long end. Your schedule comes with your written scope.
Should I choose concrete or pavers?
Both last when the base is built right. Poured concrete, stamped or smooth, usually costs less per square foot and gives one continuous surface. Pavers usually cost more to install, but a single paver can be lifted and reset if you ever need a repair. We walk you through both on the site visit.
What goes into an outdoor kitchen?
For homes, usually a block island with a stone or stucco finish, counters and openings for a grill, side burner, fridge or pizza oven, plus the patio around it. We build the island, the finishes and the flatwork. Gas and electrical connections are coordinated with appropriately licensed trades.
Do retaining walls need a permit?
Often, yes. The rules vary by city, but taller walls, and walls that hold up a slope, a driveway or a structure, usually need a permit and engineered plans. We check with your city or county building department, tell you what your wall needs, and coordinate the engineer and the permit when it does.
Do you work with hotels, HOAs and condo communities?
Yes: landscape refreshes, walls and planters, paver and walkway work within landscape projects, irrigation upgrades, lawn conversions and annual landscape care agreements. Use the commercial page to request a bid walk.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Se habla español. Call or text the office at (805) 797-3346 and ask for Spanish.
What areas do you serve?
All of Ventura County, plus Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Woodland Hills, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Bel Air, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Pasadena and Burbank in Los Angeles County, and Altadena for fire rebuild work. Not sure? Call or text (805) 797-3346.
