Cypress Landscape Project

Cypress Landscape Project

TRU Landscape Services just finished a project in Cypress. Cypress is a city right on the border of Orange County and Los Angeles County. These were the perfect customers to work for. They knew what they wanted and had a good idea about how much money it would cost to achieve their landscape dream. This project is what our company is geared for, complete landscape construction.  The first part of the work was to remove everything from the back yard. We demoed the existing concrete, patio cover and the existing sod. We could have removed the front yard at the same time, but the customers wouldn’t have a driveway to park, so we waited. After removing the back yard we installed the new footings for the patio cover and several pipes including the new gas line. We installed a new gas line for the new BBQ and Fire Pit. After installing all of the pipes we started forming for the concrete.

Cypress Concrete Install

TRU Landscape Services can provide all of your outdoor needs including concrete work. We designed this entire back yard. After forming up the outer edges of the concrete, we laid out the Barbeque design and the location of the Fire Pit. We always get the customers approval before moving forward. After the customer gave us their approval, we poured the back yard concrete. The back yard concrete was a Roman Stamp with 2 different colors in the concrete. The pour went, just as planned. Even though we are a landscape contractor we install concrete on a weekly basis. As one crew was installing the concrete, another crew was working on the planter wall. This planter wall had a concrete cap poured in place with Stack Stone on the side. This is a very detailed wall to build, but our crew did a great job!!

Cypress Hardscape Install

This project had a lot of hardscape. TRU Landscape Services installed the BBQ, planter walls, fireplace, Stack Stone and landscape curbing. All of these services are very detailed. Our crews did great work on all of these projects. As we mentioned earlier we designed this entire project, but we continued to meet with the customers on a regular basis. Every morning that we had a new install to the hardscape, we would call the day before and have our customers meet with us, it took about 10-15 minutes. If the customer presents us a set of blue prints, we still like to meet on a regular basis. When we are dealing with concrete it’s always better to meet for a few minutes then have to tear out the project and start over. The great thing is that our customers didn’t have to hire more than one company.  During one meeting with our customers they mentioned they wanted all new windows, so we gave them a phone number of a company we have used in the past. It turned out that, that company was a little cheaper than the estimate they already had, so they went with our referral and the customers were very satisfied.  We also referred a painting company we have used in the past, they loved his work. It takes one call – one company and  that’s TRU Landscape Services.  We take pride in every detail. Call today if you have any questions about hardscaping.

Orange County Patio Cover

TRU Landscape Services installed the wood patio cover in Cypress. This patio cover has an enclosed roof, which means you can enjoy it all year round. Under this patio cover is the BBQ which means if it’s raining out you can still enjoy a hamburger. We primed and painted the entire patio cover. TRU Landscape Services installs several different styles of patio covers.

Orange County Driveways

After finishing the back yard we moved to the front yard. In the front yard our customers chose a Slate Stamp for the driveway. This stamp looks like a versai pattern. At the same time we were installing the driveway our crew’s were starting the stucco install on the entire house, and the install of the new front entry way. TRU Landscape Services also installed the front of the house with stack stone. The customers were involved with the type of stone & color, we did help guide them in this process.

Yorba Linda Landscape

Yorba Linda Landscape

TRU Landscape Services is currently working in the city of Yorba Linda. This project involves two different projects. The first project, we are installing some yard drains. The second project, is to install some Synthetic Turf. We were called out to give an estimate for some drains that were clogged and/or were not working well. When we were looking at some drains in the grass area we noticed how bad the grass looked. It was really surprising because these customers are really into there plants. But in their defense, it was a small area of grass and they have a large dog. The grass was getting really beat up from the dog. Plus, it looked as if the grass was getting too much water. When the grass gets too much water on top of any dog running around on it, your going to end up with a muddy situation. We advised the customer that this was a perfect yard for Synthetic Turf. They agreed, but said that they priced the fake grass and it was too much money. We then explained to our customer how this was a perfect example of how we could save them money. The reason we can save them money is because we can install the drains and the Waterless Grass at the same time. Suddenly the project went from a small job to a medium size job for our company.  In return for our customer we lowered our price for the Synthetic Turf, allowing them to get both projects finished, everyone was happy!

Orange County Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services has been installing Synthetic Turf for the last 8 years in Orange County. We have had the same installers for the same amount of time. We only install Synthetic Turf that is made in the USA and is lead free. Our manufacture has been in business for several years. The amount of water that Synthetic Turf saves is unbelievable. The average house in Orange County uses ¾ of there monthly water usage, outside for there landscape. Most water agencies are raising there price on water to record levels. Our main water sources are at record lows. Help save water now. Call today for a free estimate.

Orange County Drains

The drains at this project have some major problems. Over several years of different companies working on the customers drains, they now have a maze of pipes running in all directions with no rhyme or reason. After running a complete check of the drain system, we decide it would be best not to get involved in the existing drain system. So we installed a new drain pipe in the area our customer was having a problem with. There are many different types of drain pipes we can use. We have found over many years of installing drains in Orange County that a SDR 35 pipe is the best for outdoor area drains. We do not use the cheap pipe sold at your local hardware store. These pipes will allow roots to grow right inside of them. The pipe we use has a glue joint that helps keep the roots out. Call us out today and let us design you a quality outdoor drain system.
