Landscaping in Brentwood
A canyon lot in Crestwood Hills and a level yard near Brentwood Village get very different sun, so we price landscaping in Brentwood one part of the lot at a time. Call (310) 857-2520 to set up the free yard visit.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
On a clear day, write down the time the sun first reaches your back lawn and the time it leaves. If your house sits in a canyon, those two times can be only a few hours apart.
Grass wants more sun than that, and a lawn that gets so little stays thin however often you reseed it. If you give us the two times when you call, we can start thinking about what will grow there.
What one free yard visit gets you
- A free yard visit within 3 business days. Paver and turf samples come with us.
- One quote with a price for each part of the yard. It reaches you by email within 1 business day of the visit.
- Turf and planting priced side by side. Where either could go, your quote names the one we would put there.
- One crew lead, with a direct number. Whoever walks the lot with you at the visit runs the build and the final walkthrough.
- What we build is covered for 1 year. What we plant is covered for 12 weeks, with a check visit in that time.
What those two times tell you
The lawn gets only a few hours of sun
If that is your lawn, more seed won't fix it. We'd take the grass out and plant the ground for shade.
If you still want green to walk on, artificial turf needs no sun at all, and it stays cool where the sun is brief. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.
The shrubs along one side all lean the same way
Plants lean toward light. If the ones on the hill side of your yard reach out over the path, that side is darker than they would like.
We'd replace them with plants that stand up straight in shade, and move the sun lovers to the side that stays bright longest. You can see both kinds in what goes where the lawn was.
One crew lead runs your whole job.
Whoever walks the lot with you at the free visit runs the build and the final walkthrough, and you get their direct number that day. A question about the slope or the side gate goes to the person who measured it.

Sprinklers set for a sunny lawn on a shady lot
- A head sprays the walk or the street. If the pavement is wet after the sprinklers run, a head has turned, or a shrub has grown in front of it. We fix it or move it.
- One corner gets no water. If one end of a bed is dry while the rest is fine, tell us which end. We find the head that should reach it.
- We didn't build your yard. We repair sprinklers on yards we didn't build as well as on our own.
- The lawn is coming out. Drip or sprinkler changes come with any build that needs them.
- The yard is one we built. After handover we can stay on to prune, weed, top up the mulch and check the drip each season. It is for yards we built, and we don't run a weekly mow-and-blow route.
From the street to the hill on a Brentwood lot
- The ground nearest the hill. If you live in Bundy Canyon or up in Crestwood Hills and the yard rises or drops behind the house, we build retaining walls and terraces to give you level ground. For a steep slope, we price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
- The side that stays bright. One side of a canyon lot keeps the sun longer than the rest. If yours has room, that is where we'd put the sun plants, and the patio if you want to sit in the light.
- A level front yard near Brentwood Village. If your front is all lawn, we can replace it with front yard and parkway planting and lay a paver walk to the door.
Before we come out to your lot
My street is narrow and steep. Can you still get materials in?
Yes. How the materials get from the street to your yard goes into the price, so tell us about the drive and any steps when you call.
Do you take on the whole lot, or only single parts?
Both. If you want everything redone, the page on landscape design for a whole yard shows what that covers, and one part can also be the whole job.
Call (310) 857-2520 with your two times, or book the free yard visit online.
We also work nearby in Santa Monica and Westwood.
Book one visit for the whole yard.
It's free, and you'll hear what we'd do in every part of it.
