South of Ventura Boulevard, the hill behind your house may take the sun off the backyard by mid-afternoon while the front is still bright. On the flats nothing does that, and whatever shade your backyard has comes from the house, a fence or a tree.

If you know when the shade reaches your yard, tell us, because that decides where turf, planting and a place to sit each go.

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.

Late afternoon on a Sherman Oaks lot

The hill takes the sun off the backyard early

If yours does, plants that want full sun grow thin there, and so does a lawn. We would plant that ground for part shade, and it is a good place for turf, which stays cooler out of the sun.

The front lawn on the flats takes the sun until evening

If your front faces west, that lawn has the longest sun on the lot, and it is the first to brown. Turf would get hot there on summer afternoons, so we would price planting for the heat next to it and let you compare.

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.

The landscaping we build on a Sherman Oaks lot, front to back

  • The path from the sidewalk to your door. We lay paver walkways, and if your front faces south, we plant the beds beside the walk for full sun.
  • The front lawn and the parkway. If you want the lawn gone, the front yard and parkway planting page shows what can replace it.
  • A place to sit out back. We build flagstone and paver patios, and if you want a pergola or a patio cover with yours, it gets a price of its own on the same quote.
  • The slope on a hillside lot. We build retaining walls and terraces, and low planter walls where the ground only steps a little.
  • A lawn you don't have to mow. We lay artificial turf, and sod if you want real grass, each with its own price.
  • A sprinkler that has stopped working. We repair sprinklers too, including on yards we didn't build.

A ranch house on the flats or a house up the hill

  • A postwar ranch house north of the Boulevard. The lot is level, front and back, so turf goes down easily. We would place it where the house shades it after lunch and plant the open ground for the Valley heat.
  • A hillside house with a steep driveway. Stone and plants go up that driveway on a cart, and the time that takes is in the price. If the level ground is only a small pad by the house, we work out with you what it is best used for.

Call (310) 857-2520 about the landscaping you have in mind, or book the free yard visit and note which side of the Boulevard you are on.
