Landscaping in the San Fernando Valley
One crew lead handles your landscaping in the San Fernando Valley, from Sylmar and Granada Hills down to Northridge and Woodland Hills, and the whole lot goes on one quote. Call (310) 857-2520 and tell us what your yard looks like now.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
If the rooms on one side of your house get hot every summer afternoon, the yard outside those rooms is taking the same sun. That side of the lot needs plants that can take the heat.
If you tell us which way your house faces when you call, we can tell you before the visit which parts are likely to be in sun all afternoon.
What one free yard visit gets you
- A free yard visit within 3 business days. Paver and turf samples come with us.

- What we build is covered for 1 year. What we plant is covered for 12 weeks, with a check visit in that time.
Three spots a Valley summer finds first
The back lawn is too hot to stand on barefoot by three
A wide, flat backyard with no tree is in sun from late morning until the sun goes behind the mountains. If you still want something green out there, planting that takes the heat can fill most of it, with turf kept to the part a patio cover shades.
Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.
The front is a lawn and a narrow concrete path
If the path to your door is a narrow strip off the driveway, a wider paver walk with planting on both sides changes the front more than a new lawn would. The planting needs drip while the roots take, then much less water than the lawn did.
If your front faces west, the plants for it are ones that look good in August, not only in April.
The north side of the house is the only cool spot on the lot
If the strip along the north side of your house is in shade most of the day, it is the one place on a Valley lot where turf stays cool and shade plants do well.
A paver path through it from the gate to the back gives you a shaded walk, and it gets its own 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.

How a build runs on a Valley lot
- The dead lawn comes out, and the trucks load from the driveway.
- Patios, walks and any wall are built first.
- Drip and any sprinkler changes go in now, before the ground is covered.
- Planting goes in, then the turf, then the mulch between the plants.
- Your crew lead walks the lot with you, part by part.
Your lot, by the part of the Valley you live in
- A house in the East Valley. If your front yard is only a few steps deep, the parkway at the curb is worth doing with it, because together they are most of what you see from the street. If the street side faces west, both get plants that take the heat.
- A ranch or tract house in the West Valley, Northridge or Granada Hills. If your front faces north, the house shades the front lawn all afternoon, and it may be the one patch of grass on the lot that keeps its color. The back, in sun from late morning on, is the place for planting that takes the heat.
- A hillside house south of Ventura Boulevard. The slope behind or below the house is ground a flat lot does not have. If yours is steep, it gets its own price, apart from the flat ground.
- An apartment building along Sepulveda Boulevard. The strip along the building and the parkway are the parts, and an owner can book the visit for the tenants.
The landscaping we build, and where on the lot it goes
- Where the front lawn was. The page on front yard and parkway planting shows what goes in its place, with more on what goes where the lawn was.
- The hot back lawn. We build flagstone and paver patios with a pergola over the part you sit in, and the pergola gets its own price.
- The shaded strip along the north side. We lay artificial turf there, where the house keeps it out of the afternoon sun.
- The slope below a hillside house. We build retaining walls and terraces so the slope becomes flat ground you can plant or sit on.
- From the sidewalk to the door. We lay paver walkways and run the wiring for the lights along them, with lighting priced on its own.
Before you book the visit
Is Sylmar or Granada Hills too far for you?
No. We do landscaping across the whole Valley, from Sylmar and Granada Hills down to the 101 and 405 freeways, and the visit is free wherever you are in it.
Does the whole Valley get the same plants?
No. Your plants are picked for the sun each part of your lot gets, and the turf spots follow the shade. If your lot has no shade at all, say so, and the visit starts with where the sun is.
When you are ready, call (310) 857-2520, or book the visit online and we'll call you back the same business day.
