Orange County Outdoor Living

TRU Landscape Services recently completed this Orange County Outdoor Living space in Laguna Niguel. Our customer wanted a dreamscape. The designers came up with a plan that the customer loved. The whole backyard was totally renovated. Starting with a new swimming pool and spa. Then we installed all of the hardscape. We used a top cast concrete through out the backyard. Top cast concrete helps give traction to the surface. The designers proposed Synthetic turf to be used around the swimming pool.  The fire pit was installed along with a BBQ island. Then our softscape crew finished up the project.

Orange County Hardscape

Our professional  design staff met with the customer and laid out this beautiful backyard. Then our crew took over and built this BBQ island. On this BBQ island the designers called out for a tile from NPT . We put in a refrigerator and a few cabinets for storage as well as poured in place concrete for the countertop. Customer requested a outdoor refrigerator.  All of our BBQ islands are custom made in the USA!!

Orange County Firepit

Our designers came up with this design for this firepit. The same tile that was used for the BBQ Island was also used for the firepit. We  applied the poured in place top cast for that concrete finish. The firepit is Natural gas for easy lighting  and the designers put in the ceramic balls for a great accent while the firepit is lit. Our Fire pits are custom made. The customer can choose from several different sizes and shapes. Along with different color caps.

Part One: Barbecue Island

One of the most striking features of the Mission Viejo Patio Remodel that we just completed was the addition of a custom concrete barbecue island to their backyard patio.  Take it in.

Imagine a Saturday. You grill up a delicious backyard dinner on your barbeque island while the kids splash in the pool. Afterward, you laugh and warm up with friends and family around the fire pit. One Lake Forest customer had TRU Landscape Services provide that vision with various hardscape installs in their backyard.

Backyard Granite BBQ Island

Backyard Granite BBQ Island

TRU Landscape Services just completed this project in Lake Forest. Lake Forest is a small city surrounded by Mission Viejo and Irvine, nestled in the Saddleback Valley. The project in Lake Forest was a back yard remodel. The customer already had a beautiful pool and a nice BBQ, but the rest of the back yard was in need of a face lift. After meeting with the customer, our salesman sent over an estimate the next day. The customer called us back a few days later and hired us to remodel their back yard by installing a granite counter top on their barbeque and installing planter walls.

Orange County BBQ

TRU Landscape Services can build all types of BBQ islands. Our BBQ islands are made out of block and concrete and built to last. Our customer already had two BBQ islands, but the tile on the islands was outdated. The customer had already picked out a granite tile to replace the tile. On the first day we removed the tile and started installing the granite. It took our crew a few days to finish the new granite on the BBQ islands to ensure a long lasting outdoor experience. There are several accessory options that we can install on a BBQ island, besides the regular BBQ grill. We install meat smokers, side burners and warming drawers. Get outside and whip up some food on a well crafted barbeque island with all of the necessary features. Let our salesman design you a new BBQ island today.

Orange County Planter Walls

Our customer’s swimming pool was built right up to the wood fence. The bare concrete put off a very hard and uninviting appearance.  To make space and add elegance to the design, we saw cut out about a foot of concrete and installed a planter wall. This new wall added another sit down area as well as beauty and depth to the back yard.  This wall was built out of block with a custom concrete cap on top of the wall. After the cap was finished we installed stack stone on the side of the wall. There are several different styles of stack stone that we offer for the side of a wall or the side of your house. Just adding a four foot high veneer stack stone siding to your house increases the beauty and value of your property. TRU Landscape Services has been installing planter walls in Orange County and outdoor living spaces for over 20 years.
