Landscaping in Hollywood

We handle landscaping in Hollywood on hillside lots and on the flats, in the Hollywood Hills, Whitley Heights, Little Armenia and East Hollywood. Call (310) 857-2520 to set up the free yard visit.

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

If the sun comes into your kitchen at breakfast and is gone from the yard by mid-afternoon, your side of the hill faces east. Across the canyon, a yard that is dim at breakfast has the sun on it all afternoon.

Those two yards get different plants from us, and turf suits one better than the other. If you are in the Hollywood Hills, tell us which one is yours when you call.

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 a Hollywood afternoon does to the yard

The front yard of a bungalow on the flats is the hottest ground you have

If your bungalow faces west, the ground between the porch and the sidewalk gets the hardest sun of the day, and grass there browns first. We would plant it for heat, and if you would like turf there, we'll tell you how hot that spot gets.

The level ground by the back door is in shade by three

If the hill takes the sun off your one level spot early, that is a comfortable place to sit in summer, and a small patio fits there. Turf stays cooler there too, so we price it next to shade planting for you to compare.

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.

What moves the price on a Hollywood lot

  • How steep the slope is. If your yard climbs, we measure how tall each terrace has to be and how many it takes, and the price follows from that. On a steep lot we price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
  • How materials get from the street to the back. On a narrow street with a small garage at street level, stone and plants are carried or carted up. If the only way to your backyard is a flight of steps, show us at the visit.
  • What has to come out. We measure old concrete, a dead lawn or overgrown shrubs at the visit, and price their removal along with the landscaping that goes in.
  • The paver or turf you pick. We bring samples, so you can lay them on the ground in your own light and choose.

A house on the hill or a bungalow below it

  • An older hillside house on a winding street. If your yard is mostly slope, most of the landscaping is retaining walls and terraces, with each level planted for the sun it gets.
  • A 1920s Spanish house or bungalow with a detached garage. The front yard and the backyard face opposite ways, so one gets the morning and the other the afternoon. If yours has a lawn on the hot side, the page on what goes where the lawn was lays out the choices.
