Landscaping in La Crescenta
We do landscaping in La Crescenta, Montrose and the rest of the Crescenta Valley, with plants chosen for the way your slope faces the sun. Call (310) 857-2520 to book a free yard visit.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
On a clear afternoon, stand on the sloped part of your yard and look at your own shadow, which points away from the sun.
If yours points uphill, the slope faces the afternoon sun and takes it squarely. If it points downhill, the slope leans away, and the late sun only skims across it. Tell us which one you have 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.
Turf or planting, once you know where your shadow points
- A slope where your shadow points uphill. This is the hottest ground you have, and we'd plant it. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.
- A slope where your shadow points downhill. Plants here get a gentler afternoon. Grass is still awkward to mow on a slope, so we'd plant this one too. You can see the kinds we use under what goes where the lawn was.
- The level ground by the house. If you want artificial turf, this is where it goes. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.
- The front lawn. If it tilts toward the afternoon sun, we'd swap it for front yard and parkway planting.
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.

Two spots on a sloped lot you may have given up on
You'd like a level bed partway up the slope
We build retaining walls and terraces for that. If your shadow pointed uphill there, the bed will have the sun all afternoon, so tell us what you hope to grow in it.
The plants on the slope look worse every year
If that part of the slope faces the afternoon sun, they are probably the wrong plants for it. We'd replace them with ones chosen for it. Drip or sprinkler changes come with any build that needs them.
A La Crescenta lot, from the steep driveway to the back
- The steep driveway. If your garage stands on its own at the top or the bottom of a steep drive, the materials go up or down it, and that carry is in the price. Say so when you call.
- The front of a cottage or a ranch house. If the way from the street to your door is a slope, we lay paver walkways with steps where the ground calls for them.
- The whole lot in Montrose or toward La Cañada Flintridge and Tujunga next door. If you want it all redone, ask about landscape design for a whole yard. We price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
- A condo or an apartment near Foothill Boulevard. If your outdoor space is a patio, tell us which hours the sun is on it, and we price it like any other yard.
Call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit online, and tell us which way your shadow pointed.
