Landscaping in North Hollywood
Before we suggest turf, plants or pavers for landscaping in North Hollywood, Toluca Lake or Valley Glen, we find where the summer sun lands on your lot. Call (310) 857-2520 to book a free yard visit.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
If the first water out of your garden hose is too hot to touch, look at where the hose was lying. That patch of your yard has been in full sun for hours, and whatever grows there takes the same heat.
We look for those patches first. What goes on them is a different choice from what goes on the ground your house or garage shades.
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, plants or pavers for the ground the sun hits hardest
- Ground in the sun from lunch until evening. We'd plant it. If you want drought tolerant plants, this is the ground for them, and you can see the choices in what goes where the lawn was.
- Ground that is in shade by mid-afternoon. This is where artificial turf is comfortable. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.
- A bed that only gets the morning sun. Morning sun is easier on plants than afternoon sun. If you have a bed like that, it can hold plants that would burn on the far side of the house.
- A patio or a walk out in the open. Pavers warm up too. When the samples are in your hands at the visit, set one in the sun for a few minutes and feel it before you choose.
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 a Valley summer may have shown you
You water in the morning, and the lawn is crisp by four
If that happens on the open ground and not in the shade, the sun is taking more than the sprinklers give.
We'd take the grass out of that ground and put in plants on drip irrigation. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.
The strip by the curb has turned to dust
The parkway has pavement on both sides, so it dries out before the lawn does. If yours has gone bare, grass seldom comes back there.
We'd plant it low, with plants that take a full day of sun, and it gets its own price. You can see how that looks on the page about front yard and parkway planting.
The lot you have, near Vineland Avenue or Burbank Boulevard
- A small bungalow with a detached garage. If your garage stands behind the house, one of its walls faces your backyard. Tell us whether that wall is lit or dark at four in the afternoon, and we know which way the sun crosses the yard.
- A postwar ranch house. A ranch house is wide and low, so the front lawn is wide too, and the house shades little of it. If yours faces the afternoon sun, that lawn is your hot patch.
- A house in Toluca Lake or Valley Glen. If your lot there is bigger, it has more parts to price, and each one still gets its own number.
What we build in a North Hollywood yard, and where it goes
- From the sidewalk to your door. We lay paver walkways in place of cracked concrete.
- Behind the house. We build flagstone and paver patios, and we place them by where the shade is.
- Where the sprinklers are old. A new sprinkler system is its own item with its own price, and we repair sprinklers on yards we didn't build.
- The whole lot. If you want everything redone at once, ask about landscape design for a whole yard.
Call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit online, and tell us where the hose was lying.
We also work nearby in Van Nuys, Burbank and Sherman Oaks.
Book one visit for the whole yard.
It's free, and you'll hear what we'd do in every part of it.
