Cypress Landscape

TRU Landscape Services has been working on 2 projects in Cypress, California. These projects are a half a mile apart. The first project is a return customer; we installed his backyard last year. He was so pleased with it that he called us back out and told us to give him an estimate for the landscape in the front yard. Our office scheduled a free estimate for the following week. When our salesman had a meeting with the customer, the customer told hus to design the front yard however our company felt was best. The customer was so happy with the backyard design, that he figured the front would come out just as excellently. After sending him a estimate for the design that we thought would work best, the customer signed and returned the estimate right away.

The following day we received a call from a couple that lives in Cypress who wanted a free estimate to remodel their backyard. They shared with our office that they were at their friend’s house and we had landscaped the backyard last year. They liked the backyard so much that they wanted TRU Landscape Services to install their own backyard. We sent one of our salesmen over and he laid out a design that they felt comfortable with. We now have two projects going at the same time in Cypress. TRU Landscape Services can manage several landscape projects at once in an efficient manner. We have several crews that do different landscape projects. We hire only a few subcontractors for specialty jobs.

Concrete Driveway

TRU Landscape Services started by removing the old concrete driveway. After the driveway was removed, another crew installed all of the pipes and wires under the future concrete driveway and walkway. On the third day, we laid out the walkway and the driveway at the same time. After setting up the concrete forms, we called in the concrete truck and installed the concrete driveway and walkway at the same time. As one crew was finishing the concrete driveway at the first project, another crew was forming the backyard at the second project. The following day we poured the concrete in the backyard. This is a good example of how we can manage several landscape projects at once.

Grass Pavers

TRU Landscape Services can provide all of your outdoor needs. Grass pavers come in several different types of materials; the most common are plastic and concrete. The grass pavers go under the new sod and support the sod so that you can drive a vehicle over it. We have installed them in many front yards, where the customer doesn’t want to see a concrete driveway across their front yard. Most of the time we use these Grass Pavers for a RV access. The first thing we do is remove the top 8” inches of soil and then we install 6 to 8 inches of Road base. It’s important to get the road base to proper compaction, after getting the base compacted we install the grass pavers. The plastic pavers go under the sod and the concrete pavers go flush with the new sod. After installing the concrete pavers we install the sod in the holes located in the middle of the pavers. When you use concrete pavers you will see a concrete pattern in your grass. By using the plastic grass pavers you will not see a pattern in your lawn. The plastic grass pavers go under the sod and provide support for driving over the grass. When you plan on driving over your grass pavers, we always recommend shutting off the sprinklers a couple of days before driving over your grass pavers. We have found that driving your vehicle in a straight line is best. If you have to turn the wheels it’s best to make slight turns. Making a hard turn of the wheels will tear the grass apart.

Patio Covers

TRU Landscape Services builds all types of outdoor structures. Whether you’re looking for a BBQ island or an outdoor kitchen, call us. The project pictured was located in Cypress, California. Our customer had a flat wood patio cover that was in need of a rebuild. Our customer wanted to rebuild the patio cover in the same design. We had different ideas, so we set up a meeting at one of our recent patio cover installs. After meeting us and seeing the patio cover we wanted to build for them, they changed their mind. The new design we recommended would give them a higher patio cover. This provides a more open space. Plus we used a Tongue and groove wood for the roof. This wood provides a great ceiling to apply a wood stain to. Whenever it’s in the budget we love to use this wood. This wood really ties a patio cover together. TRU Landscape Services has been building patio covers for over 20 years in Orange County. Call us today for a free estimate. 1-866-487-1359

Outdoor Living Patio Covers

Southern California is a great area to have a outdoor living area and Orange County has the finest weather for entertaining outside. One of the most common questions is: should we install a open lattice patio cover or should we install a roof? It is true that installing a roof will cost more, But in the long run by installing a roof you protect your investment from the elements. TRU Landscape Services has installed hundreds of lattice patio covers in Orange County and we believe most people don’t even ask for a closed in patio cover because they hear it was too expensive. When you hire TRU Landscape Services to install your outdoor entertaining area we will do our best to provide a competitive estimate to install that roof on your patio cover. If you would like to meet us at one of our current projects and see the detail that we put into our outdoor living areas, Please call today 1-866-487-1359

Laguna Hills Landscape

Laguna Hills Landscape

TRU Landscape Services completed a landscape in Laguna Hills. Laguna Hills is a small town in Orange County, California and is surrounded by Laguna Beach and Laguna Niguel. We were called out for a free estimate and right away we could tell that this customer knew what they wanted. The customer did mention that 3 companies were giving estimates. After taking the measurements, we emailed the estimate over. Shortly after the customer called us back and hired us. They pointed out that out of the 3 estimates they received they chose us because ours was the most detailed.

Concrete Installation

On day one we set up our grades and started lying out the drain pipes. After installing the drains in the backyard, we started to install the concrete forms. This project was made up of several smaller squares of concrete. This requires a lot of set up. We had our customer close by at all times, to answer our questions. This design was all laid out on drawings, but the drawings were not to scale. After installing concrete in Orange County for the last 20+ years, we have learned it’s better to ask a lot of questions up front rather then have to remove the concrete and replace it. If you’re looking for a Landscape company that can install your custom concrete give us a call.

Flagstone Walkway

TRU Landscape Services can provide all of your outdoor needs. One of the services we provide is installing Flagstone. On this project we installed a stairway up to the front doors. These steps were bordered with a landscape timber. The landing of the steps had Flagstone installed on them. Flagstone is a natural stone and some of the stones may not be that strong of a stone, so when we install Flagstone we always install at least 3 1/2 inches of concrete first. This provides a strong foundation for the stones to lay on. We have seen other contractors set flagstone in a small layer of concrete or even install them over sand. If you want your flagstone to remain in place for several years it’s best to install a good foundation first.

Landscape Lighting

TRU Landscape Services has been installing landscape lighting for over 25 years in Orange County. There are several lighting manufactures to choose from. We have one company that we have worked with for at least the last 15 years. This company builds the lights here in California and has excellent customer service. On this project we installed LED lights. The customer has several steps on this property and it’s always a good idea to install path lights on these steps. Low voltage lighting not only provides a beautiful night scape but also provides security. The LED lights only use a small amount of electricity. The manufacture gives great warranties on the lights. If you would like to see how your yard would look like with lights installed in it, give us a call and we will do a night demo for you.

Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services installed a residential landscape this week. This project consists of several smaller projects. We installed a concrete patio, planter wall, putting green and low voltage lighting. The customer told us that he had received several estimates, but very few companies did all of the work themselves. The customer did not want several sub contractors working on this small project. Our customer was too busy to deal with several companies. Plus the customer felt really confident that TRU Landscape Services could complete the projects in a professional manner. When dealing with a smaller project we must carefully line up all of the jobs. If we sent over all of our crews at once there would be a traffic jam.

Orange County Hardscape

On the first day of the project we removed all of the old landscape which included the concrete. The old concrete was raised in several areas and needed to be replaced. Our crew graded the yard so that all of the water ran away from the house. We then dug the footing for the planter wall. On the second day the block crew started installing the concrete footing and the first row of blocks. At the same time our concrete crew was setting forms for the new concrete. On the third day we installed the new concrete. The concrete pour went smoothly and we moved on to the putting green.

Laguna Niguel Landscape

Synthetic Putting Green

TRU Landscape Services installs several Synthetic turf projects a year. This project was too small to install by itself. But because we were doing the other small projects it allowed us to install this putting green. If you were to install a small putting green by itself it would cost too much. We use all American made products. Most of the artificial turf has a 15 year warranty from the manufacture. The customers dog loved the new Synthetic turf.

Low Voltage Lighting

On our final day of work we installed the LED low voltage lights. These lights are made here in California and have a 10 year manufacture warranty. We have a close working relationship with our light supplier. They are always teaching us about the newest products on the market. Even though LED lights have been out for several years the new technology changes all the time. The new LED lights use 20% of the energy that the halogen bulbs used. With the price of electricity always on the rise these lights will pay for themselves in just a few years. Overall the project went smoothly and our customer was very happy.

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.

Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just finished a landscape in Anaheim Hills. In this project we installed a new grass area and a concrete walkway. The first thing we did was remove the old grass. We haul most of the debris to a recycle yard. Once all of the old grass is removed then we install soil amendments. Most of the time our rototiller reaches roughly 8” inches deep. Most grass roots only grow down about 2” deep. After all of the soil amendments are installed, we then level out the dirt. In this process we will rake the dirt level and then roll it with a water roller. Once all this is complete we can install the new sod. The sod we use is grown out of Orange County, but it’s cut fresh the night before at the sod farm. The drivers bring it early in the morning. Our crews install it right away and get the sprinklers going. Most grass dies in Orange County due to a lack of water, so make sure the sprinklers are covering 100%.

Orange County Concrete

TRU Landscape services can provide all of your outdoor needs. We have been serving Orange County over 25 years. TRU Landscape Services installs concrete. This project had a side yard that was in need of new concrete. The concrete had to have a swale in it. This would allow the water to run to the front yard. Our crews made fast work of it. First they set up the forms so that all of the water ran away from the house and to the front yard. Then they installed wire mesh in the walkway. The wire mesh gives the concrete extra strength. The next day we poured the concrete. The concrete was finished with a light broom finish. We performed all of this work while the customer was on vacation!! The customer had a enough faith and comfort in our company that they hired us and then left on vacation. When arriving home the customer was really happy with the back lawn and the new concrete.

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. No matter what type of fencing you choose TRU Landscape Services can build it for you. Call us today for a free estimate. 866-487-1359

Orange County Synthetic Turf

Leave a reply

Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services just completed a Synthetic Turf project in Mission Viejo. This project was a front yard that we installed in Artificial Turf. The two major reasons our customer wanted new Synthetic turf was first they didn’t have time to mow the grass, not to mention the up keep on real grass. The second reason was the gophers were out of control. Our customer lives close to a school and school yards usually have gopher problems. The gophers were not only destroying the grass but they were killing the plants too. Gophers eat the root systems on the plants which causes the plants to die.

Waterless Grass

TRU Landscape Services arrived at the project and right away started grading the front yard. First, we removed the top 3” inches of soil. After removing the top soil we installed a mesh to help keep the gophers out. The best way to control gophers is to have a pest control company maintain the grounds at all times. These customers never had a pest control company out to the property. The current company we use is not expensive compared to replacing all of the grass and plants. These companies are licensed with the State of California and train all of there workers on the most current methods of rodent control. After installing the mesh we installed and compacted a base product to the top 3” inches of the yard. After compaction we level out the yard and install a weed blocker cloth. This landscape fabric will help keep the weeds from growing back through the new Waterless grass. TRU Landscape Services has been out to several properties where the prior installers skipped the landscape fabric. By skipping the fabric they opened the door for the old weeds & grass to grow back through the seems and drainage holes. The only way to fix this problem is to remove the old turf and install a landscape fabric. It’s better to pay a little more money in the beginning then to have to pay twice for the job.

Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just finished a Landscape renovation in Orange County. The Church that hired us had over 100 Rose bushes in the front of the church. This was a problem because after Sunday services the children would be playing in the rose bushes. Another problem the church had was a busy street in front of the property. During the week the church has a child care program and there is no fence to keep the children from running out into the street. The first phase of this landscape renovation was to move the Rose bushes. The church didn’t want to throw away the roses, so we moved them onto another part of the property. The best time of the year to move roses is during the winter. So the first problem we faced was that it was the middle of the summer and it was very hot outside. This is not the best time of the year to move the roses. After explaining this to our customer we agreed to move forward. On the first day we moved all of the Roses and started the irrigation.

Orange County Sprinklers

TRU Landscape Services provides all different types of irrigation services in Orange County. For these Rose Bushes we installed the new Toro water saver nozzles. First we installed new pipes along all of the roses. Then we installed the new sprinklers. After flushing the new sprinklers out we installed the water saving nozzles. Right after finishing the sprinkler system we turned on the water. We thought it would be best to water the Roses twice a day. We are happy to say that all of the Roses lived through the landscape renovation.

Orange County Block Wall

The second phase of this project was to install a new fence around the front of the property. First we installed the block pilasters. We built the pilasters out of Split Face blocks. These blocks do cost more to install but we feel like the appearance is well worth the money. After finishing the block pilasters we moved forward to the installing of the Wrought Iron fencing. Our customer was extremely happy with the new fencing!!
