Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just completed a landscape project in Yorba Linda California. This landscape project had several different details. Which included : a Pondless waterfall, Interlocking Pavers, and several smaller projects. TRU Landscape Services has been installing all of your landscaping in Orange County for over 25 years. Our company takes pride in the fact that we can install all of your outdoor needs. There is no need to have a interlocking paver company to install the driveway and a pond company to install the pondless water fall.

Our company provides all of these services and our customers don’t have the headaches of dealing with several companies. During a landscape install there are several smaller projects that must be done in the right order. A good example is that the sprinkler pipes must be installed under the walkway before the interlocking pavers can be installed. So if a customer was trying to manage this project on their own, they would have to call out the landscaper to install the sprinkler pipes and the interlocking paver company would have to wait or even leave the job. If one company has to wait or even leave the project due to another company, it could cost the customer more money or wasted time. Buy hiring TRU Landscape Services you have found the one company that can design your landscape and install every aspect of it.

Orange county Interlocking Pavers

TRU Landscape Services removed all of the concrete driveways and walkways in one day. It took 3 bobcat tractors, one 18 wheeler dump truck and several smaller trucks to complete this work.

On the next day we installed all of the underground pipes and wires. Right away our interlocking crew started installing the base for the pavers. Our design team had already showed our customers several different styles and colors of interlocking pavers. So right after prepping the base we started installing the driveway and walkways. It took our crew roughly 3 days to complete this part of the project. The customers were really happy because they could park their cars in the driveway right away. Unlike concrete we always recommend not parking on the driveway for several days.

Orange County Ponds

TRU Landscape Services loves installing water features. There are several types of water features we can install for you. One of the most popular ones right now is a pondless waterfall. The benefits are very low maintenance and they are very safe to have children around. Our project in Yorba Linda was spread out enough that while one crew was working on the interlocking pavers there was enough room to start the pondless waterfalls. On this water feature we installed 2 small creeks running through the front yard. These creeks are only a few inches deep but they provide the sound and beauty that Orange County lacks due to our dry climate.  Our design team walked the customers through the design of the creeks. On paper all designs look great but when it gets installed it always looks different. Once again this is a prime example of hiring just one company to install all of your outdoor needs. We designed the entire landscape around the water feature. The tree’s, plants and grass all were installed to accident the pondless waterfalls.

TRU Landscape Services just finished a landscape project in Anaheim. The city of Anaheim is surrounded by the cities of Yorba Linda and Orange. Disneyland is located in the city of Anaheim. Our project was to install sprinklers, concrete curb and low water plants. We gave the customer an estimate and went over some ideas with them. Shortly after that they hired us to landscape their front yard. The customer wanted a dry river running through their front yard. TRU Landscape Services thought that a concrete curb would be the best application to outline the dry river bed.

Bobcat Orange County

The area in which we were landscaping had a huge mound of dirt. This mound was causing the water to run towards the house. This wasn’t good, we were surprised that the house didn’t have water damage. So on the first day of work we took our Bobcat and removed the dirt down to a level grade. We did leave a little pitch on the yard so that the water would drain forward away from the house. After removing the dirt we installed the sprinklers. For this project we installed Rain bird 4” 1800 series. We installed all new pipes and fittings. TRU Landscape Services has been performing landscape projects for over 25 years in Orange County.

Landscape Borders

After finishing the first day we came back on the second day and installed a concrete curb for the dry river bed. We prefer using this style of landscape border. Being made out of  concrete the curb should last for many years of enjoyment.  After finishing the border we installed a landscape fabric to block future weeds from growing. Next we placed the boulders in place.

Low Water Plants

On the final day we installed the gravel down the dry river. Next we installed all of the plants. This area could have been installed with grass, but by installing low water plants, this customer will save hundreds of dollars on water. Not to mention that these plants won’t need to be trimmed or cleaned but for a couple times a year. If your looking to landscape your property with low water plants or a dry river bed give TRU Landscape Services a call for a free estimate.

Orange County Ponds

Orange County Ponds

TRU Landscape Services was called out to Orange to install a pond. Orange is a city in Orange County, California. Other cities that surround Orange are Villa Park, Anaheim Hills, and Santa Ana. This customer had called us out for a estimate originally for a pond. There are many different types of ponds available to choose from in Orange County. After seeing the property and talking to the customer, we decide on a Pondless waterfall. A Pondless waterfall is a type of pond that uses a catch basin to store the water underground. This holding tank has a pump installed inside of it, which pumps the water up to the top of the waterfalls. The customer already has a pool in their back yard. They didn’t want another body of water to worry about their grandchildren falling into. This was the main factor behind choosing to install a Pondless waterfall. The second reason was they didn’t want a lot of maintenance. All ponds do have some minor maintenance, but a Pondless waterfall has very little maintenance at all. Orange County doesn’t get cold enough during the winter to freeze the water, so no need to drain it during the winter. Another great thing about Pondless waterfalls is the water is constantly being cleaned by the rocks and gravel we use to build the waterfalls. There will always be debris to clean up, but most gardeners can take care of this problem. One of the customers concerns was about the water level getting too low and burning up the pump. We like to install a auto water filler in our ponds. When the water reaches a certain level a valve will turn on the water for a short time to replenish the reservoir. This customer already had a outdoor drain system in their back yard, so we installed a drain line into the water reservoir. If the water level rises too high from rain it will allow the water to drain out through the pipes.

Orange County Water Features

TRU Landscape Services has been installing ponds in Orange County for 20 years. We work with our suppliers to constantly be updated on the newest techniques and materials available. Orange County has a great climate to grow plants from all over the world. We can provide all of your water plants along with your bedding plants. One of the most common questions we receive from our customers is do ponds waste water?  It is true,  you will lose some water through evaporation and water splashing around on the waterfalls, but this water usage is a lot less water if you were to landscape this same area. The Pondless waterfalls are children friendly. All of the water is held under ground, so there is no way for a child to fall in the water. However,  you will want to watch them so they don’t start throwing rocks from your new waterfall. We can use all types of materials to build you a Pondless water feature. We have used wooded barrels, Fountainscapes and vases for a few examples. Rain harvesting systems are getting popular in other parts of the world. Orange County receives such little rain fall that it hasn’t become real popular. TRU Landscape Services can build your dream pond, whatever type you choose. We build garden ponds, Koi ponds and Pondless water features. Water features always become the focal point of your garden area. Let us design the right water feature for your landscape and budget.
