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 Our customer already had two BBQ islands, but the tile on the islands was outdated.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.

Laguna Niguel Outdoor living

TRU Landscape Services just completed an outdoor living area in, Laguna Niguel. Laguna Niguel, is a city in Orange County, which is bordered between the cities of Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo and Mission Viejo. This project was a fun and exciting project from day one up until the last day. We were called out on a Tuesday to give a free estimate. The customer had great ideas on what they wanted, and we were able to furnish them with an estimate in only three days. The customers gave us an OK to start the project. Usually, most projects start within a two week time frame from the time the estimate is approved, but we were able to start this project immediately. This back yard had a poorly installed putting green in which we began by removing it along with several inches of dirt. My crew did this in a quick, but clean manner. This allowed us to install a new concrete slab. Our customers wanted new Flag stone in their front walk way and travertine marble installed in the back yard.

Orange County Hard Scape

TRU Landscape Services takes pride in installing quality materials. We begin installing the new Flag Stone by pouring a new concrete slab. Therefore, this project first had to have a large concrete pour. The concrete we installed had rebar every 2 feet on center and we poured 3½ inches of new concrete. This lets us sleep at night knowing that the new stone has a firm foundation. There are a lot of contractors that will lay their stone right into the wet concrete, which is fine if they already laid down the rebar in the sub surface, but most likely they skip this step which allows the stone to show cracks right away. With saying that, there is no guarantee that our process won’t produce cracks too, but we feel this is the strongest way to install stone work. After pouring the concrete we installed all of the Flag Stone and Travertine. This customer has a young family that likes to go to the beach on a regular basis. We all know once you go to the beach, we all have sand everywhere, so to fix this problem we built them an outdoor shower area. We have a feeling that this outdoor shower will not only be great for removing the sand, but the kids are going to have fun playing in it. It’s allot cheaper then a pool.

Synthetic Turf

The customers had a small area in the back yard that they wanted to plant grass in. The only problem is that there was a shade problem. Grass must have at least 4 hours of direct sun light to survive. We explained to the customer, that if we install Synthetic Turf in this area there is no need for a gardener. They can keep the back gate locked and save money on their Landscape Maintenance. After, installing the synthetic turf, we installed all of the new landscaping. The new landscaping included a new sprinkler system, we used Toro precision nozzles on their sprinkler heads which will save them 35% of the water used on the landscaping. Along with the synthetic turf and water saving sprinklers their water bill will be reduced. Which will make running their outdoor shower that much more enjoyable.
