Classic Lawns & Artificial Turf

In California, there's a great debate over which is better - classic lawns or artificial turf. We don't try to solve that question for you, but we do bring you all the relevant information so you can make an informed decision on which option works best for you.

We offer a wide variety of grasses and ground covering plants to beautify your landscape, and we will prepare you for long term success with your lawn by making necessary irrigation and drainage improvements. We can also use native California and/or drought resistant grasses and plants to help you conserve water during the dry season.

Artificial turf has come a long way since the introduction of the original variety - Astro Turf. Today, it's not just for sports use, but there are types of artificial grass that is designed for homes, businesses, golf courses, and more. Features like non-absorption of pet mess and chemicals, non-toxic materials that are safe for kids and pets to play on, and UV-resistance that minimizes fading are examples of how artificial turf has become a practical, long term solution. And of course, you save money and effort and the environment by no longer needing to water, fertilize, mow, or put pesticides and herbicides on your lawn!

Decks & Patios

Decks and patios create a transition zone between your indoor and outdoor areas and effectively extend your total "living space." Whether in the front yard, side yard, or back yard, they help you get fuller enjoyment out of your lot and your home's natural surroundings. Additionally, adding a deck or patio allows you to hold frequent family barbecues with ease and to treat friends, relatives, neighbors, and other guests to parties on holidays and other special occasions.

You can choose between natural wood decking and specialized artificial boards. Decking can be both upper and lower, often with stairways connecting the two. Also consider "island" decking connected to other areas of your property by stone or crushed gravel walkways. Patios of flagstones, cut stones, brick, or concrete can be ground level or step-up. When properly installed, they will drain well, stand up to the weather for many years, and not come loose even with heavy use and foot traffic.

You may also want your deck or patio covered with a fixed or retractable awning, a structural roof, a pergola, or another option to create shade and weather protection. Or, you may need to fit the patio/decking around a pool or other structure. The Landscape Experts can assist you in both installing and integrating your new deck or patio into your overall landscaping scene.

Edible Gardens

It's more in fashion than ever before to grow your own food at home, and it's a great way to help stay healthy while getting some exercise and hobby time out in your own back yard! Plus, a well designed edible garden can add pride and beauty to your landscaping arrangement.

The Landscape Experts can help in the planning phase as well as construction and initial planting phases of your new garden. A stone, wood, brick, or concrete garden wall is a first step - or you can choose the more "open" look. Bringing in high-nutrient soil and ensuring the garden can drain without losing it top soil is a next step.

Additionally, we can build attractive, productive, and sturdy raised beds, put in bamboo tepees or bean towers, create tunnels and arches for climbing vegetables or vines, add planter boxes and containers, and perfect your garden's walking and storage spaces.

Fences & Gates

Good fences make good neighbors, and The Landscape Experts make good fences. We can build or install a fence to enclose all or part of your lot and provide you with the desired security, privacy, shade, and aesthetic effect. Whether you want a fence in wood, vinyl, wrought iron or another metal, stone, brick, or something else - we can accommodate you.

Also, it's often a smart move to put up interior fences, or "partitions," that can help define different spaces on your landscape. You may need a pool fence, for example, or a fence to wrap around your garden, provide a smaller "yard within a yard" for a pet, or act as edging for flowers and plants while holding the mulch in.

A fence without a gate is a problem instead of a solution. We can install for you a wide variety of gate styles, from the basic and practical to the decorative to the more security focused.

Fountains & Water Features

Adding a little water to your landscape scenery can do wonders for helping its look, sound, and feel. Fountains, "crystal rivers," koi ponds, water gardens, and waterfalls can be soothing and beautiful. They help make your yard a relaxing retreat where you can meditate and unwind at the end of a busy, hectic day.

We can show you the great variety of decorative fountains available today, walking your through all the styles from classic all the way to modern. You may also be interested in a "fire fountain," a patio pond, or a rainwater harvesting system to help water your edible garden.

Installing winding pathways of pebbles, river rocks, and other stones and then running a "babbling brook" over them - then adding a quaint little wooden bridge here and there and a walking path alongside the stream is a great way to enhance your back yard. But there are many other ideas too, and we can show you our galleries to inspire you to come up with ideas of your own.

Garden Art

Yes, your garden and your whole yard can be - among other things, a veritable art gallery! There is a wide variety of garden/yard art that you can simply buy and position artistically to emphasize a certain theme or ambiance for your outdoor spaces.

This includes sculptures, stacked stones, metal, clay, or stone figurines and abstract art, and much more. We can also customize your garden art, building it from scratch from an endless variety of source materials.

Artwork is one of the best ways to personalize your garden and yard and to make it seem welcoming and warm to your whole family, as well as to guests. We are experts at "exterior decor" and will be happy to discuss your garden art ideas with you!

Hedges & Plants

Planting hedges is, in many situations, a viable alternative to installing a fence, while in other cases, both hedging and fencing will find its place in your overall landscape plan. Hedges add beauty, create shade, and obstruct views to gain a measure of privacy - the taller the hedge, the greater the privacy.

Bushes, shrubs, and trees can also create privacy, and they can break up the monotony of a large lawn, while adding style and appeal. Smaller plants, ferns, and flowers do their part as well to keep the perimeter of your building and other areas you want to edge out (like a pool, deck, or shed) from looking "bare."

If you want to save on water, we can plant drought tolerant plants on your property, many of which are native to California. We can also help you select plants that require very low maintenance and use mulch, lava rocks, smooth creek pebbles, anti-weed cloth, and vinyl edging to minimize maintenance tasks even more. Your plant life in your yard can be practical, beautiful, and good for the environment all at the same time!

Paths & Driveways

The Landscape Experts are no less adept at pavement and pathway work than with plants, hardscapes, and pools. If you need a new driveway put in or an old one repaired or expanded, we can handle it for you. Driveways do much to add to a home's curb appeal and resale value, besides being of great practical value.

To fully enjoy your landscaped lot, you need to be able to access it. Of course, you can just walk out over the turf, but it also helps to have walkways that lead to different areas of your backyard and that connect the back and front yard.

There are many materials that can be used for paths, including flagstones, which come in many colors and shapes and fit into almost any landscape scheme. Decomposed granite is also a great pathway material: it drains well due to its permeability, is natural and safe for the environment, won't dust up easily or blow off during a drought, and is very affordable. But whether you use solid stone, stepping stones, or gravel, proper path construction is important so that the pathway will not easily erode or fall apart over the years.

Pavers

One popular way to create a path or patio in your back yard or to add decor to a garden or flower bed, is with paving stones. Pavers are extremely durable, won't easily stain, and are simple to maintain (just wash them off with a hose.) Additionally, pavers are slip resistant, and thus, very safe to walk on.

Many choose to lay their pavers down tight up against one another and to use the variety of colors and finishes available to create unique patterns and customized patio shapes. Others space pavers out with grassy areas purposefully intervening between them. There are nearly endless ways you can arrange them to get the desired effect.

It's not as easy as it might look to install pavers correctly. We at The Landscape Experts know how to make them lie flat, stay in place, and drain well. And we can create any pattern or arrangement you want with the greatest of care and precision.

Pergolas

Pergolas add a classy, and classic, look to your outdoor living spaces that nothing else can quite accomplish. If you don't want to go with a full covered patio, a pergola can provide a measure of protection from the blazing Southern California sun - and even from a light, misty rain if your pergola has vines and plant life growing on top.

A pergola is often attached directly to the house or erected right next to it at least, in which case it's very easy to run wiring and hang lights off of it at strategic locations. Other pergolas are placed in the pool area as a kind of "dry off" or "meal break" zone during pool parties or out in the main yard along a pathway.

You will find there are numerous types of pergola, and you can customize the design to your exact needs. Some pergola rafters are straight, others sloped, still other arched. Some pergolas are open on all four sides, while others use the house wall, lattice work, a nearby fence, or foliage to create borders on anywhere from on to three sides.

In addition to pergolas, another structure you might want to consider adding to your landscape is a gazebo. The Landscape Experts can help you select, design, and place all such structures. We will custom build them to your exact preferences.

Pool and Spas

Nothing says "Orange County" more than having your own swimming pool at home. There are hundreds of thousands of pools in Orange County, most of them located at single family homes, and that just adds one more swim option to a county that is also blessed with abundant nearby sandy beaches and plenty of public pools. Having your own private pool is simply more convenient, more private, and lets you get the most time in the water.

Whether you're looking for an in ground our above ground pool, for an enclosed pool or one out in the open, or for a fiberglass, vinyl liner, or concrete (gunite) pool, it's going to take professional expertise to ensure the pool is put in right. Professional installation will ensure you get the longest possible life out of your new pool and that it attains to the quality level you desire.

But a pool alone is "just a hole in the ground." Exquisite, safe, durable pool tiles, pool stairs, lighting and fountains, waterfalls and hot tubs, decking or patio pavements surrounding the pool, and proximity to an outdoor barbecue and kitchen, beautiful plants and flowers, and your house (especially indoor kitchens and bathrooms) is part of what makes a pool all it's intended to be.

Add on a spa, where you can relax and pamper yourself just like at a resort or five-star hotel, and then the picture is complete!

Stairs & Steps

In Orange County and throughout the L.A. Area, thousands of homes and businesses are located on hilly terrain. Many lots have a good portion of them that is heavily sloped or have upper and lower zones with a steep slope between the two sections of the yard. This necessitates the use of stairs and steps in many of our

Of course, steps can be as simple as a walkway to your front door, and stairs my be a part of connecting several decks at two or more different levels into a single network. But steps are also often integrated along paths as needed when they wind up/down hill sides.

Steps may be of natural stone, concrete, wood, or brick. They can be made attractive and integrated into your other landscape elements, but sturdiness and safety have to be the top concern. Side railings are another option that sometimes makes sense, or outdoor stairs and steps may be recessed into the ground and outfitted with retaining walls or sold concrete/brick side walls.
