Landscaping in Downey

Show us the stretch of lawn that never fills in, and we'll price it with the rest of the lot when we do landscaping in Downey, around Downtown Downey and along Firestone Boulevard. Call (310) 857-2520 for a free yard visit.

Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.

Next time you mow, watch what comes out from under the mower. If one stretch of the lawn throws dust where the others throw clippings, the grass there has thinned to almost nothing.

Note where that stretch is and whether the sun is on it after lunch. If it is, more seed won't fix it, and we'd look at what else could go on that ground.

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.

A ranch house lot in Downtown Downey, from the street back

  • The front lawn. If nothing shades your front lawn after lunch, the grass there has a long afternoon. We'd do front yard and parkway planting there, with plants chosen for that sun.
  • The side yard. If your garage is attached, the side yard is your way to the back, and the house shades it for much of the day. We'd lay paver walkways there, with shade plants along the fence.
  • The backyard. If your garage stands on its own behind the house, the backyard is the ground between the two. We look at which one shades it in the afternoon before we say where a patio goes.
  • A building with tenants. If you own apartments near Florence Avenue or Imperial Highway, each planted strip is priced separately.

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.

Where the mower finds dust

The thin stretch is out in the open

If it has the sun all afternoon, the grass there is short of shade, and it thins a little more each summer. We'd plant that ground. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.

The thin stretch is right against the house

If a wall keeps the sun off it for most of the day, grass is short of light there. Shade plants do well on that ground, and so does artificial grass. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.

Adding an outdoor kitchen or a cover to a Downey backyard

  • A kitchen outside. We build outdoor kitchens, and we bring the gas, the water and the power out to yours.
  • A pergola or a solid patio cover. We build both. If the dusty stretch of lawn is where you'd like to sit, pavers and a cover can take its place.
  • Lights. We set landscape lighting along a walk or around a patio, and we wire it.
  • New grass. If you want a real lawn back, we lay sod, and we price it by the size of the lawn.
  • Sprinklers that miss the lawn. If a head is the reason one stretch has thinned, we fix it, and we repair sprinklers on yards we didn't build too.

Each of these has its own price, on the same quote as the planting and the paving.

Call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit online, and say where the thin stretch is.

We come out to Lakewood and Whittier as well.
