Landscaping in Encino

For backyards where the shade keeps moving, we do landscaping in Encino, in Amestoy Estates and in the hills south of Ventura Boulevard. Call (310) 857-2520 and we'll come walk your lot with you for free.

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

If you move the patio umbrella two or three times on a summer afternoon to keep the table in shade, you have been following the sun across your backyard. The last place you move it to is the side the late sun comes from.

Remember that side. It tells us where the shade on your lot runs out, and that decides where a patio, turf and planting each belong.

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 level lot in Amestoy Estates, or one up the hill

  • A ranch house or a larger home in Amestoy Estates. If your backyard is level and open, the table is probably in the sun for much of the afternoon. A pergola or a patio cover gives it shade that stays put, and each one has its own price.
  • A hillside home south of Ventura Boulevard. If your lot climbs toward Mulholland Drive, level ground is the scarce thing. We build retaining walls and terraces to make more of it. We price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
  • The front, facing the street. If your front lawn has the sun after lunch, we'd do front yard and parkway planting there.

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.

When the umbrella isn't enough

You keep moving it, and the table is still hot by four

If the sun gets under the umbrella late in the day, it is coming in low from one side. We'd add shade on that side, with a cover over the patio or tall planting along that edge.

A sprinkler wets the chairs, or leaves a dry patch beside them

If a head near the patio sprays where you sit or misses the lawn next to it, tell us which one. We fix sprinklers on any yard, including ones we didn't build.

What makes an Encino yard cost more or less

  • The backyard. We measure the patio you want, and you pick the paver or stone from the samples. Curves and borders add to it, and you can see the flagstone and paver patios we build before the visit.
  • The front. We measure what has to come out first, whether that is lawn or old concrete.
  • The grass. We price artificial turf or sod by the area you want covered. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.
  • The way in. We look at how materials get from the street to the backyard. If your driveway is long or steep, that carry is longer.

The number is (310) 857-2520. You can also book the free yard visit online, and we'll call you back the same business day.
