Landscaping in Santa Clarita
In Saugus and Canyon Country, we do landscaping in Santa Clarita for the whole lot, with planting where the summer sun is hardest and turf where it stays cooler. Call (310) 857-2520 to book the free yard visit.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
A shrub that looked fine in spring can be burned by August, though you watered it the same all year. Usually nothing went wrong with the plant. The shade it had in spring is gone.
In winter the sun is low, and your house and fences throw long shadows. In summer it is high, the shadows pull back toward the walls, and ground that was shaded in January sits in full sun. If you tell us what burned and where, we know which ground to look at first.
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.
Plants that give up once the shade moves
The bed along the back fence loses its plants every summer
If that bed is shaded in winter and in the open all summer, the plants in it were probably picked for shade. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.
We would replant it with ones that take a full summer afternoon. You can see the kinds of planting we use in what goes where the lawn was.
You'd like fake grass out back, and the back is in the sun
Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun. The samples we bring let you check for yourself.
If you can be home for an afternoon visit, lay a sample on the spot you have in mind while we walk the lot, then put your hand on it. If it is too warm for you, that spot is better planted, and the artificial turf goes where the house shades the ground.
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 moves the number on a Saugus or Canyon Country lot
- The front lawn. We measure it, and the price follows its size and how much old grass has to come out. Drip or sprinkler changes come with any build that needs them.
- The backyard. We price flagstone and paver patios by their size and the stone you pick. If you want curves or a border, those add to it.
- The turf, if you choose some. The sample you pick and the size of the patch set that price.
- From the street to the back. We look at how far the pavers, plants and turf have to travel from the curb to where they go. If your backyard is easy to reach, that adds little.
The price comes from the parts you want done and what's in them now, and we measure both at the visit.
More than planting and paving
Each of these gets its own price on the one quote.
- A pergola or a patio cover. We build both. If you can't decide between them, ask us to price each one.
- An outdoor kitchen. We build it, and we run the gas line, the water and the power to it ourselves.
- Landscape lighting. We set lights along a walk, on steps or around the patio, and we do the wiring.
- Sod. If you want real grass and not turf, we lay sod, and the size of the lawn sets its price.
- A retaining wall. If your yard has a bank you want held or leveled, we build retaining walls and terraces as well.
Before we drive up to Saugus or Canyon Country
Does it matter what time of year you see my yard?
No. If we come in winter, tell us what burned last summer and where it stood. Your crew lead can also tell from where the house and fences stand which ground loses its shade in July.
Can you price the whole yard, and not one piece of it?
Yes. If you want a whole new yard, we price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced. The page on landscape design for a whole yard shows what that covers.
What should I have ready?
Nothing on paper. If you know which plants failed and roughly when, that is the most useful thing you can tell us.
A lot off Bouquet Canyon Road or Soledad Canyon Road, front to back
- The front lawn. If nothing shades yours from lunch until evening, it is the hardest grass on the lot to keep green. We'd take it out and do front yard and parkway planting there, with plants chosen for full sun.
- The side yard. If yours is a narrow run between the house and the fence, it gets a slice of sun at midday and shade the rest of the time, and grass gives up there. We'd lay paver walkways down it, with shade plants along the fence.
- The backyard. On a summer day, mark where the shadow of your house ends at lunchtime. Past that line, the ground needs planting for full sun, or a patio cover if you want to sit there.
Call (310) 857-2520, or book the free yard visit online, and tell us what burned last summer.
We also work nearby in Northridge and the San Fernando Valley, and in Valencia, next to Saugus.
