Landscaping in Glendale
We handle landscaping in Glendale from the parkway to the back fence, in Verdugo Woodlands, Adams Hill, Sparr Heights and Oakmont. Call (310) 857-2520 and tell us which side of your house takes the afternoon sun.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
The bed along the west wall of your house gets the afternoon sun and the heat coming back off the wall, and whatever you plant there is crisp by the end of summer. Around the corner, out of the sun, the same plants look fine, so we would pick different ones for each side.
If your house sits above the street on a steep drive in Adams Hill, tell us when you call, because the slope is a part of the lot too, and the walk up from the street changes how we price it.
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 takes the sun on a Glendale lot
The front yard is a slope down to the sidewalk
If your house sits above the street, the front yard is a bank you cannot mow or sit on. Two or three low terraces with planting between them make it ground you can walk across, and the steps up to the door go in at the same time.
If the bank faces west, the planting on it is chosen to take the full afternoon.
The back lawn has nothing to shade it
An open lawn that takes the sun from late morning on is hard to keep green. If you still want some green out back, a smaller patch of turf where the house throws its shadow after lunch is easier to live with than the whole lawn.
The rest can become planting and a patio, each with its own price, and the patio can go where you would want to sit on a summer evening.
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.

Landscaping for a Glendale lot, by where the house sits
- A 1920s to 1940s house with a detached garage. If the back is the sunny part of your lot, a patio with a pergola over it is what we would put there. The front yard and the parkway are priced on their own.
- A hillside house in Adams Hill with a steep drive. The slope is the biggest part of the lot. If pavers and plants have to come up from the street on a cart, that is in the price, and your crew lead walks the route with you at the visit.
- An apartment building off Colorado Street. The parkway and the strip along the building are the parts, and if you own the building you book the visit for it. If your tenants share a small patio, a pergola over it gives them some shade.
Sprinkler trouble on a slope or an old lawn
- The heads on the front slope run off before the water soaks in. A slope wants drip, which lets the water out slowly beside each plant. If the slope is being terraced, the drip goes in with the planting.
- The bed along the hot west wall gets the same water as the shady side. We fix sprinklers on any lot, ours or not. If that bed is being replanted, it goes on drip of its own, so it can get more water than the shade does.
- The heads still water a lawn you took out years ago. Drip or sprinkler changes come with any build that needs them, so when we plant that ground, the old heads are capped and drip goes in.
- A yard we built, each season. 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.
The build days, in order
- Everything coming out, lawn included, goes down the driveway to the truck first.
- Terraces and steps on a slope go in before the flat parts, from the bottom up.
- Walks and patios go in next.
- The drip goes in before anything covers the ground.
- Plants and turf go in last, and your crew lead walks the lot with you.
Getting materials in, and plants that take the heat
My driveway is too narrow for a truck. Where do the pavers go?
At the curb, on the day they arrive, and then down the driveway in a wheelbarrow or a hand cart. If your driveway is also steep, say so, because that is a longer day and it is in the price.
Will the plants take a Glendale summer?
We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets. If your lot is in the open with no tree over it, say so, and the planting we price is chosen for full sun, not for shade.
Call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit online, and tell us how steep the drive is. The page on retaining walls and terraces covers the slope.

It's free, and you'll hear what we'd do in every part of it.
