Landscaping in Torrance

We'll walk both side yards with you before we price any landscaping in Torrance, in Old Torrance, Walteria, Hollywood Riviera or North Torrance. Call (310) 857-2520, or book the free yard visit online.

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

Straight walk of warm gray concrete pavers in running bond with a charcoal border row, crossing a backyard between beds of lavender, Mexican bush sage, blue fescue and yarrow to a brown-shingle Craftsman garage with wooden carriage doors

Walk down both sides of your house at about two in the afternoon. One side yard is bright and warm, and the other is dim and cool, even though they are a few steps apart.

The same split runs across your whole lot. If you tell us which side is which, we know where turf will stay cool and where only plants that love the sun will last.

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 the price of a Torrance yard comes down to

  • Which parts you want done. Your landscaping can cover the front yard, a side yard, the backyard or all of them, and we measure and price each one on its own.
  • What is there now. We measure the lawn, concrete or old planting that has to come out. If you have already cleared the ground, there is less to pay for.
  • The slope, if you have one. On the hillier streets of Hollywood Riviera, a yard may need steps or a low wall before anything is planted. If yours does, we measure that at the visit.
  • Curves, borders and the paver or turf you pick. A straight walk in one paver costs less than a curved one with a border. We bring samples, so you choose with them in your hand.

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 the side yards tell you about a Torrance lot

Nothing you plant on the sunny side lasts

If one side yard gets the sun from noon on, it is the warmest ground you have. We would put planting chosen for heat there, with drip irrigation run to each plant.

The shady side is bare dirt you walk across

If the other side sees almost no sun, use it as the way through. We would lay a paver walk from the front to the backyard there, with shade plants where there is room.

What we would build behind a Torrance house

  • A house in Walteria or North Torrance with an attached garage. With the garage on the front, your open ground is out back, from the house to the fence. If yours faces south or west, we plant it for heat, and planter walls give you raised beds along the fence.
  • A sloping yard in Hollywood Riviera. If your yard falls away from the house, the landscaping starts with retaining walls and terraces so you get level ground. We choose the planting on each level for the light that reaches it.
  • A bungalow in Old Torrance with its garage out back. If the garage shades a corner of your backyard after lunch, that corner is where turf stays coolest, and planting for heat goes on the open ground.

When you call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit, say which side yard is the dim one.

We also work nearby in Gardena.
