Orange County Fencing

Orange County Fences

TRU Landscape Services just finished a block wall in Huntington Beach. This project was to remove a tree that had cracked the block wall and replace the section of the wall that was cracked. After the crew set up to remove the tree the supervisor had a brief safety meeting with the crew. These meetings are to go over certain problems that might arise. This tree had cables running through it, so the supervisor wanted to make sure the crew knew how to remove the tree without damaging the cables. Once the meeting was complete the crew started removing the tree. The tree took them a day and a half to remove. They finished without a problem.

Orange County Block Wall

After removing the tree, our hardscape crew showed up and removed the old cracked block wall. The wall was cracked by the tree lifting the wall. We also found roots growing inside of the wall. The old school way of  building blocks was that they didn’t install concrete into the columns. This allowed the rain water and morning dew to run inside of the wall. The roots then found the water and grew until there was no more room. The wall would eventually cracked. Which is what happened for this customer. This wall took us a day to remove and replace. Why hire more than one company and have the hassle. Let our professional crews take care of all of your outdoor needs.

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.
