This weekend our crews finished one of our current landscape projects in Yorba Linda. We love working in the city of Yorba Linda. Yorba Linda is surrounded by the cities of Anaheim Hills, Placentia and Fullerton. Yorba Linda is the birthplace of our 37th president Richard Nixon. Now let’s talk about the project. The first thing we did on this project was prep the soil for new plants & grass. After preparing the soil we started setting our forms for the new concrete patio. Well one crew was setting the forms for the concrete, the other crew was installing the sprinklers. The sprinkler system took us a couple of days to install. After we made sure all of the sprinklers were installed, we installed the electrical for the fountain.

The customer was on a budget like most of us now days. So to help the customer save money we gave them options on the concrete finish. For a small back yard patio we recommend a color concrete with a diamond pattern installed in the finish. Why not install stamped concrete? First reason was the budget and the second reason was on a small patio, you might not get the full affect as you would on a larger area of concrete. The day that we pour concrete we only do light work around that area. We don’t want to take a risk of to much dust or someone dropping something on the fresh concrete. After working 20 years in the Orange County concrete business we have learned our lessons on what not to do, when working around wet concrete.
Final Touches
After the concrete dried we installed all of the plants & flowers. On this project the customers knew exactly what types of plants they wanted. This made our job allot easier. The customer had a game plan for the whole project. After all of the plants were installed, we installed the sod. Allot of landscape companies collect the check and hit the road. We follow up on our projects a couple of days after the completion of the project. To make sure the sprinklers are working fine and the new sod is happy. We would rather catch a small problem before it turns into a large problem. After a few days the customer reviewed the landscape project with us and made the final payment.
