Landscaping in Whittier
Two stones and an afternoon will show how far the shade travels across your yard, and we plant by it when we do landscaping in Whittier, in Uptown, Friendly Hills and Whittwood. Call (310) 857-2520 for a free yard visit.
Book online and we'll call you back the same business day.
At one o'clock, set a stone on the lawn at the edge of your house's shadow. At four, set a second stone where the edge has moved to.
The ground between the two stones had sun for part of the afternoon and shade for the rest. That makes it the mildest ground on your lot. If you tell us how far apart the stones ended up, we can start placing plants and turf.
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.
On either side of the two stones
On one side, the lawn never had shade
If that ground stayed in the sun the whole time, it is where your grass browns first. We'd replace it with drought tolerant plants on drip irrigation. We pick plants for the heat your part of LA gets.
On the other side, it was shade all along
If that ground never saw the sun, the grass is thin there for the opposite reason. We'd put shade plants on it, or a paver path if it is where you walk.
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.

Fake grass or plants, by where the stones landed
- Between the stones. If you want fake grass, this is the ground for artificial turf. Turf heats up on summer afternoons, so we'll tell you which spots catch that sun.
- The sunny side. We'd plant here. Out front, that means front yard and parkway planting where the lawn was.
- The strip by the curb. If your parkway gets no shade all day, low planting goes there, and it gets a price of its own.
An older house near Uptown, or one up in Friendly Hills
- A Spanish or Craftsman house near Uptown Whittier or Greenleaf Avenue. If your garage stands on its own at the back, set your stones by its shadow too. Whatever it shades by four is a good place for one of the flagstone and paver patios we build.
- A hillside home in Friendly Hills. If your yard slopes, we build retaining walls and terraces for level ground. If it is steep, a plan comes first. We price the plan at the yard visit, before any building is priced.
- A house in Whittwood. If you want the hardscape and the planting done together, ask about landscape design for a whole yard.
- Water for the new planting. We do sprinkler system installation for new planting, and we repair sprinklers too, including on yards we didn't build.
Leave the stones where they are and call (310) 857-2520, or book the free yard visit online.
