Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just finished a Landscape renovation in Orange County. The Church that hired us had over 100 Rose bushes in the front of the church. This was a problem because after Sunday services the children would be playing in the rose bushes. Another problem the church had was a busy street in front of the property. During the week the church has a child care program and there is no fence to keep the children from running out into the street. The first phase of this landscape renovation was to move the Rose bushes. The church didn’t want to throw away the roses, so we moved them onto another part of the property. The best time of the year to move roses is during the winter. So the first problem we faced was that it was the middle of the summer and it was very hot outside. This is not the best time of the year to move the roses. After explaining this to our customer we agreed to move forward. On the first day we moved all of the Roses and started the irrigation.

Orange County Sprinklers

TRU Landscape Services provides all different types of irrigation services in Orange County. For these Rose Bushes we installed the new Toro water saver nozzles. First we installed new pipes along all of the roses. Then we installed the new sprinklers. After flushing the new sprinklers out we installed the water saving nozzles. Right after finishing the sprinkler system we turned on the water. We thought it would be best to water the Roses twice a day. We are happy to say that all of the Roses lived through the landscape renovation.

Orange County Block Wall

The second phase of this project was to install a new fence around the front of the property. First we installed the block pilasters. We built the pilasters out of Split Face blocks. These blocks do cost more to install but we feel like the appearance is well worth the money. After finishing the block pilasters we moved forward to the installing of the Wrought Iron fencing. Our customer was extremely happy with the new fencing!!

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.

Project of the month

Leave a reply

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.

Video of the project:

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.
