Landscaping in Walnut

When we do landscaping in Walnut, the level ground by the house and the slope beside it are priced as separate parts of the lot. Call (310) 857-2520 to book the free yard visit.

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

A dry creek bed of gray and tan river rock winding through the backyard of a gray-green Craftsman bungalow toward an old wood fence, crossed by a flat stone, with deer grass, purple salvia, white yarrow, orange California fuchsia, blue fescue and a young redbud tree in bark mulch and a decomposed granite path along the fence

From your back door, the yard may run level for a few steps and then tip up or down to the fence. Those are two different pieces of your lot, and they get different sun.

A slope that faces south or west takes the afternoon sun more squarely than the level ground beside it, so if yours does, tell us when you call.

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.

Level ground and slope on a Walnut lot

  • The level ground by the house. This is where you sit, and where turf or a lawn goes. If your level part is small, we would keep it for the patio and the turf and give the planting to the slope.
  • The way to the backyard. If your garage is attached, stone and plants reach the back along a side yard. If that side yard is steep or has steps, show us when we walk the lot, since it changes the price.
  • The slope. If you can't use it now, we build retaining walls and terraces to give you level strips, and plant them with drought tolerant plants chosen for the way the slope faces.
  • The front yard. If you want landscaping out front done along with the back, we begin with landscape design for a whole yard, and we price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.

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.

On a hot afternoon in your backyard

The slope faces the afternoon sun and stays bare

If yours faces west, we would plant it for heat and water it by drip irrigation, so each plant gets its water at the base and none of it runs down the hill.

The level stretch is too bright for turf by mid-afternoon

Turf in the afternoon sun gets hot to the touch, and we'll point out which parts of the level stretch get that sun. If all of it does, we would price planting for its brightest end and keep the turf to the part the house shades.

What else can go on the same quote in Walnut

  • A pergola or a patio cover. We build either one, and it gets its own price next to the patio.
  • An outdoor kitchen. We run the gas, water and power to an outdoor kitchen, and wire the lights. If you know where you want the grill, show us at the visit.
  • Landscape lighting. If your yard has steps or terraces, we price the lights along them separately from the walls.
  • Sod. If you want real grass on the level ground, we lay sod and price it on its own.
  • Sprinklers. We fix broken sprinklers, and the yard does not have to be one we built.

Call (310) 857-2520 or book the free yard visit, and we will walk the level ground and the slope with you.
