What’s Included in Our Residential Landscape Installation Services

We provide full-service landscape installation for homes across Orangevale, Folsom, Roseville, and the Greater Sacramento Area

Site Preparation & Grading

We begin by preparing your yard with professional grading to ensure proper drainage and soil leveling. This critical step lays the foundation for a stable and long-lasting landscape installation.

Before planting or laying sod, we enrich the soil for healthy root growth and ensure the yard drains properly. Our team addresses compacted soil, standing water zones, and slope challenges.

We install efficient drip and sprinkler irrigation systems tailored to your plant layout and California water restrictions. Smart controllers are available for automated watering and conservation.

Our crew installs lush sod or groundcovers like Kurapia and creeping thyme for a polished finish. We ensure even coverage, proper seams, and long-term vitality with post-install watering.

We professionally install your selected trees, shrubs, perennials, and flower beds using proper spacing, soil amendments, and long-term growth planning — all tailored to Sacramento’s climate.

We finish your landscape with cleanly applied mulch and/or river rock to improve aesthetics, retain moisture, and reduce weeds — using natural tones and textures that complement your design.

Our team installs low-voltage LED landscape lighting to highlight paths, plants, and architectural features. Safe, energy-efficient, and built to withstand outdoor conditions.

We don’t just install and leave — we perform a thorough site cleanup, remove debris, and walk the project with you to ensure satisfaction. You’ll get maintenance tips and post-install care guidance too.
