Landscaping in Highland Park

Hillside lots and level ones both get a free yard visit when you call us about landscaping in Highland Park, Hermon or Mount Washington next door. The number is (310) 857-2520, and each part of your lot gets its own price.

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

If you have solar lights along a path, look at them an hour after dark. The ones still bright spent the day in full sun. The ones already dim sat in shade for most of it.

Your plants get the same sun those lights do. If you tell us where the dim ones are, we have a good idea where the shade is on your lot before we come.

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.

Hillside or level, the lot around a Highland Park house

  • A hillside lot in Hermon or up toward Mount Washington. A slope that tilts toward the afternoon sun is hotter than the level ground next to it. If yours does, we plant it for that, and we build retaining walls and terraces where you want a level bed.
  • A Craftsman or Spanish bungalow on a level street. If the front lawn has the sun after lunch, we'd take it out and do front yard and parkway planting there.
  • A small apartment or courtyard building near York Boulevard or Avenue 50. If you own one, the building may shade its planted ground for much of the day, and if it does, we'd choose shade plants for it.

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 your lights go dim early

The lights by the front steps are out by nine

If that ground is shaded for most of the day, lawn and sun plants will stay thin there. We'd put in shade planting, or artificial turf if you want green underfoot, since fake grass needs no sun.

The lights along the back fence glow all night

If that fence has the sun all day, the bed in front of it does too. We'd use drought tolerant plants there. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.

Lights that are wired in, and other things we add

  • Landscape lighting. Wired lights come on whether the day was sunny or not. We set them and do the wiring.
  • An outdoor kitchen. We build it, and bringing the gas, the water and the power to it is our job.
  • A pergola or a patio cover. We build either one, over a new patio or one you already have.
  • Sod. Real grass wants sun for a good part of the day. If you'd like a lawn, the spots where your lights stay bright are the ones for it.
  • A sprinkler system. We put in sprinklers for a new lawn or new beds, and we repair sprinklers too, including on yards we didn't build. Drip or sprinkler changes come with any build that needs them.

Each one gets its own price, on the same quote as the planting and paving.

Call (310) 857-2520, or book the free yard visit online and tell us where the lights go dim first.

We work in Alhambra, Pasadena and Glendale as well.
