Landscaping in San Pedro

Anything left outdoors shows where the sun reaches, and we read that before we price landscaping in San Pedro, in Vista del Oro, South Shores or Downtown. Call (310) 857-2520 for a free yard visit.

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

Look at something that has sat in one place outside for a couple of years, such as a chair cushion, a plastic bin or the cover on the grill. If one side has faded pale and the other still has its color, the sun reaches it from the pale side.

The plants beside it get that same sun. If you tell us which things in your yard have faded, and on which side, we have a fair picture of your lot 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.

How a San Pedro yard is priced, piece by piece

  • The front yard. We measure it and note what has to come out. If your old lawn comes up and plants on drip irrigation go in, the size of that ground sets most of the price.
  • The backyard. The paver or turf you choose from the samples changes the number, and so do curves and borders in the hardscape.
  • A yard on a hillside street. If your ground steps down, we measure the length and height of the retaining walls and terraces and price them apart from the planting.
  • The way in. If your garage is on an alley, tell us. How the materials get from the street to the backyard is in the 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.

Faded on one side, fresh on the other

The bed on the faded side never fills in

If plants there stay small or burn at the edges, they are in more sun than they like. We'd replace them with drought tolerant plants chosen for it. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.

Nothing in the yard has faded at all

If everything still has its color, your yard gets gentle sun, from the marine layer or from a building close by. Lawn stays thin on ground like that. We'd use shade plants there, and it is a fair place for artificial turf.

On the grid near Downtown, or on the hill in South Shores

  • A lot on the grid near Downtown San Pedro or Pacific Avenue. If your garage opens on an alley, it stands at the back of the lot and throws its own shade on the yard. Tell us if that shade reaches the ground you want planted.
  • A postwar house in South Shores. If your backyard is on a slope, the level ground by the house is where we'd build one of our flagstone and paver patios. If you want the backyard designed from the house to the fence, ask about landscape design for a whole yard.
  • A house in Vista del Oro or off Western Avenue. If your front lawn faces the afternoon sun, we'd do front yard and parkway planting there. If you have seen it called xeriscape, we mean the same thing.
  • A broken head or a dry corner. We fix those too, whoever put the sprinklers in.
