Modern Landscape Orange County

Modern Landscape Orange County

TRU Landscape services have installed several modern landscapes in Orange County. What does modern landscape really mean to us? Modern landscape is essentially a more contemporary take on the average residential or commercial property. It’s a fairly new design that incorporates squared features such as benches, concrete pathways, pots, poured in place concrete caps, etc. Contemporary gardens also
provide many drought tolerant alternatives. The modern yards are typically being installed with decomposed granite, artificial turf, or a decorative rock. Popular plants most commonly used are a
variety of bamboo species, different types of succulents, and commonly grown grasses. One of the more updated features of the contemporary yard is the Redwood Horizontal Fencing that we’re beginning to see more and more of. Updated fencing provides an elegant yet basic look that ties together the rest of the yard.

Modern Concrete

We’ve also installed many modern concrete paths that have channels cut and filled in with either artificial turf or pea gravel. Customers in Orange County either ask for slabs to be installed in an offset formation or uniform, concrete paths are an easy way to give your home a more modern and contemporary feel to it. Slabs are formed and designed to the customer’s specifications. Once approval is given and agreed upon to the design, we begin pouring concrete and applying the finish. We provide the options of either applying a broom finish, smooth finish, using colored concrete or interlocking pavers.  Concrete poured 4” thick and is reinforced with a 6’ x 6’ wire mesh. Different design options are
available. The more contemporary gardens are starting to apply different types of decorative rock, turf, or decomposed granite (DG) along the channels of the concrete pathways. Great design technique that allows one to eliminate the notion of having a front or backyard surrounded by nothing but concrete. Eliminates the concrete jungle theory we’re all afraid of.

Modern Fences

Horizontal fencing has become a popular trend to the contemporary garden. Many of our Orange County customers have requested for horizontal fencing to be installed all along their property walls, retaining walls, pony walls, etc. We use all treated lumber for our projects. Posts are all set and reinforced in concrete. We have several different design options available upon installation. Even old block walls can be revitalized with a modern wood fence attached right to the block wall. You choose the type of wood, stain, or color. We only make recommendations based on previous jobs and customer feedback.
