Landscaping in Lakewood

Planting, paver walks, patios and turf are what we put in when we do landscaping in Lakewood, in Mayfair or next door in Lakewood Village. Call (310) 857-2520, and we'll come walk the lot with you for free.

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

Look at the strip of grass between your sidewalk and the curb. Unless a tree stands over it, no wall, fence or roof shades it, so it gets more sun than the lawn by the porch. If it is the browner of the two, that is why.

Lakewood was laid out on a regular grid, so the front yards on your side of the street all face the same way. If you tell us which way your front door faces, we know where the afternoon sun lands before we arrive.

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 each part of a Lakewood yard adds to the price

  • The parkway and the front lawn. We measure both, and the price follows how big each one is and how much old grass has to come out.
  • The backyard. We price flagstone and paver patios by their size, the stone you choose, and any curves or borders. If you want a pergola too, that gets a price of its own.
  • The way in. If your garage is at the back of the driveway, materials can roll straight down it to the backyard. If an addition has narrowed the way through, point it out when we come.
  • The turf, if you want some. We bring samples, and the one you pick and the size of the patch set that price.

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 a Lakewood lawn gives out first

The parkway browns before anything else

If nothing shades yours, we would take the grass out and put in low plants that like full sun. A drip line lets the water out beside each one, so none of it runs across the sidewalk, and the page on front yard and parkway planting shows how a parkway like that looks.

Turf behind the house would sit in the sun all afternoon

If you want turf out back, notice where the garage's shadow lands after lunch. Turf gets hot in the afternoon sun, and we'll point out at the visit which spots would. The stretch the garage shades is where turf stays comfortable to walk on.

A Mayfair lot, from the front door to the side fence

  • A front yard that faces west. If yours does, the lawn and the beds by the porch have the sun from lunch until it sets. The landscaping we would put there is planting for heat, with artificial turf priced beside it so you can compare the two.
  • The side yard between your house and the next one. If yours is only a few steps wide, grass seldom does well there. A paver path with low planting along the fence uses it better, and you reach the backyard without crossing bare dirt.
  • The walk from the sidewalk to the door. If yours is cracked concrete, we lay paver walkways in its place, and the bed beside it is planted for whichever sun that side gets.
