Irvine Landscape Company

TRU Landscape Services just completed a project in Irvine, California. This install, was a really fun project!!   It was a  smaller project so the turn around was fast.  We enjoy doing projects of all sizes.

First, we graded all of the dirt for the new flagstone. We always like to install the flagstone to a slab of concrete. Some companies will try and talk you into a sand base for flagstone. The sand base will eventually wash out and your stones will move. After pouring the concrete base we started installing the flagstone. Our customers went down to one of our local suppliers and chose the stone themselves. We suggested a couple different stones. They ended up choosing one of our favorites,  Arizona flagstone.

When one crew was installing the flagstone another crew was installing a planter wall. After we completed the wall we moved onto the Synthetic turf.

Our crew installed the Synthetic turf in one day and it turned out really nice.  The customers were happy. With the artificial turf installed we moved onto installing the interlocking pavers.

Once again our crew finished in one day. One of the best things about TRU Landscape Services is that we can install almost anything that is outdoors. For a property owner to setup different companies for each one of these projects would cost a lot more then it cost to hire us. If our crew is already at your property installing one project, we can cut our normal rates to do all of your projects. We can cut these rates because we use less fuel and can have our crew working on several projects at once. If your looking for a new landscape or to update an older property, call TRU Landscape Services for a free estimate.

Orange County Hard Scape

Hardscape has become the new buzz word for homeowners. The term refers to landscaping features constructed from inorganic materials and can include driveways, patios, walkways, water features, fire pits, and planters. While landscape installation may have been affected by the housing slowdown, homeowners have developed a deep love for their outdoor spaces and the hardscape business has remained relatively strong.

“We’ve seen an increase in hardscaping including larger patio spaces, outdoor kitchens, and fireplaces,” says Tobi Ulemek, president of TRU Landscape Services. “Our customers are telling us they don’t want a yard that demands high maintenance. We recently finished a job with a large concrete slab throughout the backyard which created a contemporary look we’re noticing is becoming more popular.”

No wonder hardscape is becoming a key component to an inviting outdoor sanctuary. Adding an outdoor kitchen allows families to entertain outside, drinking coffee on a patio is a peaceful way to start the day, winding through a garden walkway is always a pleasure, and an outdoor fireplace is pure tranquility after a hard day at work. In addition, hardscape conserves water, adds value to a property, and can divide areas for different purposes.

Material selection is important. A wide variety of choices are available to complement any home. For example, brick, stonework, or pavers can be used for a classic, elegant, or natural look or a contemporary look can be achieved by using concrete to establish stark contrasts and clean lines.

Homeowners should plan and install hardscape first before they begin planting. “Keep in mind all the possibilities when designing an outdoor space now and for the future,” advices Tobi. ”Homeowners should envision different options they would like to add over the years. If it isn’t feasible to complete the entire project at once, the features can be added later as their budget allows.”
