Landscape design in Thousand Oaks
We start landscape design in Thousand Oaks with one visit for the whole lot, in Westlake, Dos Vientos and Wildwood, from the parkway to the back fence. The number is (310) 857-2520, and it helps to know which way your driveway faces.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
If your house is in one of the newer tracts and the trees are still small, the only real shade on your lot may be the house itself. Where its shadow falls after lunch is where turf or a seat belongs, and the rest of the lot needs plants that can take the heat.
When we work out landscape design for a Thousand Oaks lot, that shadow is the first thing we look for, and the plan covers the whole lot.
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.
What dries out first on a Thousand Oaks lot
The lawn beside the driveway browns along the concrete
A wide driveway in front of a three-car garage soaks up the afternoon sun, and the grass beside it dries out faster than the rest of the front. If yours browns along that edge, we would plant it for heat and run decomposed granite, a fine gravel that sets firm, along the concrete.
Turf would also fit there, and the samples at the visit let you set both on the ground and look from the street.
The beds along the back fence dry out before anything else
If your back fence faces the afternoon sun and nothing shades it, the plants along it get the full heat of the day. Shrubs chosen for dry summers can fill that line, on drip, which waters each plant at the root through thin tubing.
We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets, and out here the summers are hot and dry.
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.

When the old sprinklers no longer fit the yard
- The lawn by the street gets water and the lawn by the house does not. We repair sprinklers on yards we did not build, as well as our own. If that front lawn is becoming planting, the old heads come out and drip goes in.
- The beds along the back came after the sprinklers. If the heads were set for a lawn and the beds went in later, a drip line out to them is part of the planting job.
- You want the whole system redone with the yard. Drip or sprinkler changes come with any build that needs them, and a whole new sprinkler system is priced on its own.
What we would do on each kind of Thousand Oaks lot
- A tract house in Westlake or Dos Vientos. Each part, from the lawn beside the driveway to the back fence, gets its own price. If your back faces west, a covered patio by the house is what makes it usable on a summer afternoon.
- A house near Wildwood Regional Park. If your back slopes away and faces west, it takes the hardest sun on the lot, and terraces with planting for that heat make it ground you can use. On a steep slope we price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
- A larger house in the hills. The drive, the back and the hillside each get their own price, and so does lighting along the drive.
- A condo or townhome off Thousand Oaks Boulevard. A patio and a strip at the door are priced like any other part of a lot.
How the build days go
- We confirm the start date in writing.
- Anything dead along the fence comes out first, with the old lawn.
- Terraces, the walk and any patio go in next.
- The drip goes in and we run it with you watching.
- The shrubs along the fence, the planting out front and the turf go in last, and then you and your crew lead walk the finished yard together.
To get the whole lot priced, call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit online. The page on landscape design for a whole yard shows what the plan covers.
We also work in Oxnard, Calabasas and Woodland Hills.
