They say a picture is worth a thousand words and we are happy to let these images do the talking.

Please take a look at a sampling of our recently completed landscape projects.

1492 Sunset Dr, Ventura

1569 Silver Shadow, Thousand Oaks

This is a project we completed a few years back and have been maintaining ever since. New driveway and stone work, with low voltage lighting and smart irrigation finish it off.

183 Nob Hill, Ventura

This is a project we completed a few months back. The yard was a total overhaul and completely rebuilt with the exception of the driveway. It features new pilasters with lighting along the front of the property, a new retaining wall to hold up a level lawn, new slope planting with jute mesh to help stabilize the soil, as well as new stairs and walkways with integrated lighting, and pots with drip irrigation tied into the new more efficient irrigation system.

1024 Scenic Way, Ventura

This is a job we completed in Ventura in January 2012. After gutting the front yard and trimming up the existing Magnolia and Black Pine trees we set to building the Keystone Walls. After the walls were completed we moved on the Paver Walkways and Driveway. We also used the pavers to make a border around the lawn and to border the flagstone sitting area. After planting and sodding, we added low-voltage lighting on the trees, paths, and steps. We set in a new mailbox and a pot on the column. Irrigation is handled by MP Rotator nozzles and Drip and controlled by a Rainbird Smart Timer. Vinyl gates were installed to replace the old wood gates. Finally we carried the customers Travertine from inside their house out onto the front porch to finish it all off.

3898 Pacific Coast Highway, Ventura

This is a job we completed in October in Faria Beach. This was a complete front yard redo. We removed all hardscape including driveway and all patios and walkways. We tore down existing plants and all fences. We then constructed a new block and stucco wall around the whole front yard on both sides of drive. We added ledgestone to the panel of the entry portion to touch it up and added a custom wrought iron gate. Columns have low voltage lighting inside each one. New paver driveway was then installed along with a new drainage system and a paver foyer and entry. We added stepstones and new vinyl fence and gate down the side for access to the back yard. 3 large king palms as well as other plants were installed to complete the tropical effect. Low-Voltage Lighting, Weather-controlled irrigation and a new recycled wood Timberwolf gate on east side finished it off. To truly appreciate this job, please check out some great before and after shots on our website.

528 Emma Ave, Ventura

This a job we completed in May 2010. This is a great example of an alternative to the normal front lawn setup. First step on this job was to replace the existing concrete porch which only had steps on the left side and had a significant fall hazard off the front. We recreated the porch with wrap around steps and created new walkways along driveway, to the porch and side gate, a trash can walkway to the street, and a couple small walkways from the parkway. Once this was done, we replaced the existing wood fence and gate with a Timberwolf gate and fence structure. Timberwolf is a wood-looking recycled plastic material that is resistant to insects and never has to be stained or painted. Combined with steel posts and hardware, the longevity of this product is outstanding. It was then on to irrigation. We used Toro Precison Sprays for the groundcover areas. The 5′ radius sprays output an average of only .08 gallons per minute! Compare this to a traditional 5′ spray head that outputs .20gpm and its less then half the norm. Combine this with a drip system for all the other plantings and a Rainbird ESP-SMT Smart Watering System to control it all and you have water efficiency at its best. We completed the landscape with a decomposed granite and flagstone pathway, Santa Barbara boulders for accents, Vista Pathlights and Uplights, and plantings that complement the entire low-water design. This job was really a treat for us work on and a great showcase of what a front yard can be without a lawn.
