Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services installed a residential landscape this week. This project consists of several smaller projects. We installed a concrete patio, planter wall, putting green and low voltage lighting. The customer told us that he had received several estimates, but very few companies did all of the work themselves. The customer did not want several sub contractors working on this small project. Our customer was too busy to deal with several companies. Plus the customer felt really confident that TRU Landscape Services could complete the projects in a professional manner. When dealing with a smaller project we must carefully line up all of the jobs. If we sent over all of our crews at once there would be a traffic jam.

Orange County Hardscape

On the first day of the project we removed all of the old landscape which included the concrete. The old concrete was raised in several areas and needed to be replaced. Our crew graded the yard so that all of the water ran away from the house. We then dug the footing for the planter wall. On the second day the block crew started installing the concrete footing and the first row of blocks. At the same time our concrete crew was setting forms for the new concrete. On the third day we installed the new concrete. The concrete pour went smoothly and we moved on to the putting green.

Laguna Niguel Landscape

Synthetic Putting Green

TRU Landscape Services installs several Synthetic turf projects a year. This project was too small to install by itself. But because we were doing the other small projects it allowed us to install this putting green. If you were to install a small putting green by itself it would cost too much. We use all American made products. Most of the artificial turf has a 15 year warranty from the manufacture. The customers dog loved the new Synthetic turf.

Low Voltage Lighting

On our final day of work we installed the LED low voltage lights. These lights are made here in California and have a 10 year manufacture warranty. We have a close working relationship with our light supplier. They are always teaching us about the newest products on the market. Even though LED lights have been out for several years the new technology changes all the time. The new LED lights use 20% of the energy that the halogen bulbs used. With the price of electricity always on the rise these lights will pay for themselves in just a few years. Overall the project went smoothly and our customer was very happy.

Orange County Synthetic Turf

Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services just completed a Synthetic Turf project in Mission Viejo. This project was a front yard that we installed in Artificial Turf. The two major reasons our customer wanted new Synthetic turf was first they didn’t have time to mow the grass, not to mention the up keep on real grass. The second reason was the gophers were out of control. Our customer lives close to a school and school yards usually have gopher problems. The gophers were not only destroying the grass but they were killing the plants too. Gophers eat the root systems on the plants which causes the plants to die.

Waterless Grass

TRU Landscape Services arrived at the project and right away started grading the front yard. First, we removed the top 3” inches of soil. After removing the top soil we installed a mesh to help keep the gophers out. The best way to control gophers is to have a pest control company maintain the grounds at all times. These customers never had a pest control company out to the property. The current company we use is not expensive compared to replacing all of the grass and plants. These companies are licensed with the State of California and train all of there workers on the most current methods of rodent control. After installing the mesh we installed and compacted a base product to the top 3” inches of the yard. After compaction we level out the yard and install a weed blocker cloth. This landscape fabric will help keep the weeds from growing back through the new Waterless grass. TRU Landscape Services has been out to several properties where the prior installers skipped the landscape fabric. By skipping the fabric they opened the door for the old weeds & grass to grow back through the seems and drainage holes. The only way to fix this problem is to remove the old turf and install a landscape fabric. It’s better to pay a little more money in the beginning then to have to pay twice for the job.

We install several different landscape products, including the following: Landscape Construction, Concrete walkway, driveways, sidewalks and pool decks, Synthetic turf, Putting greens, LED lighting, Ponds, Irrigation systems, Outdoor drains.

Orange County Dog Run

Synthetic Turf Orange County

TRU Landscape Services just finished installing a dog run in Mission Viejo. Our customer called us out for a estimate and approved the estimate on the spot. The project was to install a Synthetic Turf dog run. Along with the Synthetic Turf we installed a wrought iron fence to keep the dogs in.

First we removed the upper layers of grass & dirt. Because this area was going to be a high traffic area, we installed a strong edge. This edge will hold down the Synthetic turf so that the dogs can’t tear it up. This is an essential step when installing an artificial turf dog run.

Orange County Dog Runs

Once that was finished, we installed a layer of Decomposed Granite (DG). Getting the proper compaction is a very important part of this step. Once we made compaction, we laid down a landscape fabric to keep the weeds from growing back in the side yard. With those steps completed, we installed the Synthetic Turf. The Synthetic Turf can last 15 to 20 years! We also include an 8 year manufacture warranty. Our customer was very happy with the final product.

Wrought Iron Fence

During our estimate the customer asked for a chain link fence to surround the Orange County dog run. We do install chain link fences but in this application we thought wrought iron fence would look far better. This fence was important to keep the dogs out of the backyard, so we made it 5 feet high. With all of our wrought iron fences we give the customer a choice on the design and color. Our customer chose a basic square design along with a black fence. We install our fence with a concrete footing. Most companies set there fences right into the dirt. Call for a free estimate on all of your fence needs.

Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services just completed a landscape installation in Mission Viejo. Mission Viejo is a city located in Orange County, California. This landscape renovation project had many important details, the most important decision the owner had to make was to install grass or install Synthetic Turf. The owner wanted to install real grass but they were afraid that the 75 pound puppy would tear it up. Another problem was that the grass area was only getting 3 hours of sun. Most grass needs a minimum of 4 hours of sun light to be healthy. Our customer likes to travel and didn’t want to worry about the gardener going in the back yard and leaving the gate open. By installing artificial turf the customer could lock the gate and not worry about the gardener.

Astro Turf Install

One of the most important steps to install Synthetic Turf properly is the foundation. Like most things in this world if the foundation is not done properly the rest of the project will either fail or not look proper. We have been out to several Synthetic Turf installs where the contractor skipped the first step and the most important step, installing the base. If you fail to install the base properly the artificial turf will sink when walked upon. TRU Landscape Services likes to use decompose granite (DG) for our base. A lot of companies use road base, which is crushed up concrete and asphalt. The down side to using road base is that the Artificial Turf has to be installed with large nails. Large nails work fine but we like using large staples which hold down the Synthetic Turf better.

After installing 4” inches of DG and getting the proper compaction, we install our plastic edging. Our edge’s are the strongest in the industry. If you would like to hear more about our edge’s please call us toll free at 1-866-487-1359. TRU Landscape Services doesn’t want to give away all of our trade secrets to installing Synthetic Turf properly! Next we lay down a landscape fabric which will help stop the weeds from growing. You can skip this step but you will have several weeds growing through in a couple of months. If the contractor says he’s spraying a chemical that will block the weeds, ask them how long that will last? Most chemicals only control weeds up to one year. After installing the fabric we install the Synthetic Turf. Last step is to back fill the turf. TRU Landscape Services has been installing Synthetic Turf for over a decade in Orange County. When you hire us to install your Synthetic Turf you can feel assured that you are getting a certified installer. All of our installers have been working for us for over 5 years.

Landscape Orange County

TRU Landscape Services was called out to a customer’s house in Yorba Linda. This customer hired us a few years back to install Synthetic Turf in their backyard. They were now ready to landscape their front yard. They called us out for a free estimate and together we designed the front yard. The husband had an idea of what they wanted. They wanted Interlocking Pavers and Synthetic Turf installed. We began by removing the old grass.

Orange County Pavers

After removing the old grass we dug down the front yard roughly 4” inches deep. This would allow for us to install a base product. A base product will give the pavers and artificial turf a firm foundation. Some contractors will skip this process or install a small amount of base, but beware because by avoiding the base your pavers or synthetic turf could fail in the future. Most of the time it takes a

couple of years before you start noticing any problems, by this time the company is out of business. A fine point to keep in mind when your looking at hiring a landscape company is how many years they have been in business and Please check the contractor license number with the State of California, State license Board (CSLB).

Orange County Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services installed the base to the proper compaction and leveled it out. After doing this we install a landscape fabric to block any future weeds from growing back through the Synthetic Turf. Then we installed the artificial grass. The synthetic turf we installed in the front yard matched the synthetic turf we installed in the backyard. This was extra nice for the customer. The Artificial Turf was installed and the customer was very happy!!

TRU Landscape Services just completed a project in Irvine, California. This install, was a really fun project!! It was a smaller project so the turn around was fast. We enjoy doing projects of all sizes.

Orange County Landscape

First, we graded all of the dirt for the new flagstone. We always like to install the flagstone to a slab of concrete. Some companies will try and talk you into a sand base for flagstone. The sand base will eventually wash out and your stones will move. After pouring the concrete base we started installing the flagstone. Our customers went down to one of our local suppliers and chose the stone themselves. We suggested a couple different stones. They ended up choosing one of our favorites, Arizona flagstone.

When one crew was installing the flagstone another crew was installing a planter wall. After we completed the wall we moved onto the Synthetic turf.

Orange County Synthetic Turf

Our crew installed the Synthetic turf in one day and it turned out really nice. The customers were happy. With the artificial turf installed we moved onto installing the interlocking pavers.

Orange County Pavers

Once again our crew finished in one day. One of the best things about TRU Landscape Services is that we can install almost anything that is outdoors. For a property owner to setup different companies for each one of these projects would cost a lot more then it cost to hire us. If our crew is already at your property installing one project, we can cut our normal rates to do all of your projects. We can cut these rates because we use less fuel and can have our crew working on several projects at once. If your looking for a new landscape or to update an older property, call TRU Landscape Services for a free estimate.

Yorba Linda Landscape

Yorba Linda Landscape

TRU Landscape Services is currently working in the city of Yorba Linda. This project involves two different projects. The first project, we are installing some yard drains. The second project, is to install some Synthetic Turf. We were called out to give an estimate for some drains that were clogged and/or were not working well. When we were looking at some drains in the grass area we noticed how bad the grass looked. It was really surprising because these customers are really into there plants. But in their defense, it was a small area of grass and they have a large dog. The grass was getting really beat up from the dog. Plus, it looked as if the grass was getting too much water. When the grass gets too much water on top of any dog running around on it, your going to end up with a muddy situation. We advised the customer that this was a perfect yard for Synthetic Turf. They agreed, but said that they priced the fake grass and it was too much money. We then explained to our customer how this was a perfect example of how we could save them money. The reason we can save them money is because we can install the drains and the Waterless Grass at the same time. Suddenly the project went from a small job to a medium size job for our company. In return for our customer we lowered our price for the Synthetic Turf, allowing them to get both projects finished, everyone was happy!

Orange County Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services has been installing Synthetic Turf for the last 8 years in Orange County. We have had the same installers for the same amount of time. We only install Synthetic Turf that is made in the USA and is lead free. Our manufacture has been in business for several years. The amount of water that Synthetic Turf saves is unbelievable. The average house in Orange County uses ¾ of there monthly water usage, outside for there landscape. Most water agencies are raising there price on water to record levels. Our main water sources are at record lows. Help save water now. Call today for a free estimate.

Orange County Drains

The drains at this project have some major problems. Over several years of different companies working on the customers drains, they now have a maze of pipes running in all directions with no rhyme or reason. After running a complete check of the drain system, we decide it would be best not to get involved in the existing drain system. So we installed a new drain pipe in the area our customer was having a problem with. There are many different types of drain pipes we can use. We have found over many years of installing drains in Orange County that a SDR 35 pipe is the best for outdoor area drains. We do not use the cheap pipe sold at your local hardware store. These pipes will allow roots to grow right inside of them. The pipe we use has a glue joint that helps keep the roots out. Call us out today and let us design you a quality outdoor drain system.
