Landscaping in Porter Ranch

An ice cube in the sun and one in the shade show how different two pieces of your yard are, and we plant for that when we do landscaping in Porter Ranch. Call (310) 857-2520 for a free yard visit.

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

A dry creek bed of gray and tan river rock winding through the backyard of a gray-green Craftsman bungalow toward an old wood fence, crossed by a flat stone, with deer grass, purple salvia, white yarrow, orange California fuchsia, blue fescue and a young redbud tree in bark mulch and a decomposed granite path along the fence

At about three on a hot afternoon, set one ice cube on the sunniest ground in your backyard and another on the shadiest. Then watch them.

The one in the sun is gone long before the other. If two spots a few steps apart treat ice that differently, they need different plants. Tell us what each cube was sitting on.

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.

Where the first ice cube went

It melted on the slope at the back

If the bank above or below your yard is in the sun all afternoon, thirsty shrubs won't hold on it. We'd plant it with ones that can. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.

It melted on the lawn, a few steps from the green part

If that stretch yellows every summer while the grass by the house stays green, more water won't even them up. We'd keep grass or artificial turf near the house and plant the stretch that yellows. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.

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 we measure before a Porter Ranch yard gets a price

  • The slope. We measure how long it is and how far it drops. If you want level ground cut into it, the planter walls or retaining walls and terraces are priced by their length and height.
  • A steep slope. If yours is steep, a plan comes first. We price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
  • The backyard. How big it is and what has to come out set most of the price. The paver or turf you pick from the samples sets the rest.
  • The front. If you want curves and borders out front, those take more cutting than straight runs, and the price shows it.
  • The way in. If your side yard is narrow or has steps, materials take longer to get from the street to the backyard.

A Porter Ranch lot off Rinaldi Street or Porter Ranch Drive

  • A large home with a two- or three-car garage. If the driveway fills much of your front, the planting beside it is a small piece of ground in full view. We'd do front yard and parkway planting there, chosen for the sun it gets.
  • A townhome or a condo. If all you have is a patio or a strip behind the house, it still gets a visit and a price. We build flagstone and paver patios at that size.
  • A ranch house next door in Northridge or Granada Hills. If you want all of your lot done, ask about landscape design for a whole yard.
