Mission Viejo Stamped Concrete Patio

Here are some new images of our latest Mission Viejo stamped concrete patio!  The patio includes an Orange County Barbecue Island and a balcony-patio cover tie-in.  But we’re here to talk about the foundation of it all: the stamped concrete!

For this Mission Viejo stamped concrete patio, our crews matched the stain and glossy finish with the rest of the backyard hardscape’s stacked stone elements.  The cohesion of your yard’s main elements creates harmony in your outdoor living space.  As a landscape construction company, TRU Landscape’s job is to build you the framework for your outdoor paradise.  The hardscape elements and various plants play off of eachother, but are also a blank slate for you to fill in.  For the basis of your landscape, call the licensed Orange County hardscape team: TRU Landscape Services!

A stamped concrete patio is an investment in a low maintenance back yard.  We integrate drains into your patio for easy cleanup.  The patio is also graded (to code) so that there isn’t any unnecessary buildup of water.  Spills are cleaned up easily.  Concrete is long lasting and reduces lawn maintenance by reducing the size of your lawn!  Lastly, you aren’t compromising beauty for the sake of functionality and ease!  Everyone will comment on the charm of your outdoor living space.

Tried and True Landscape Contractors

Licensed Bonded and Insured Landscape Contractor in Orange County

Hello All!  Trying to decide on an Orange County landscape contractor?  Looking into TRU Landscape Services?  Whether you go with our landscape company or not, here are a few big reasons to make sure you have a licensed contractor work on your lawn (and not some turkey).

Ever wonder if you can get away with a low cost independent contractor for your landscape construction?  Before attempting to save money by going this route, there are a few things to consider.

Happy Thanksgiving!

First, the contractor is required to have a license even if he isn’t currently operating with a license or bond.  It’s true! Landscape Construction actually requires a license and bond.  Certain specific jobs like installing a gas line for an outdoor fireplace even require further certification by the State of California.  TRU meets those requirements.

Second, a less established landscape contractor may skimp on the materials needed to build a long lasting hardscape installation such as a fireplace, walkway, or block wall.  Even though it’s concrete, an installation without a proper foundation, structure, and curing will not hold up over time.  There are a lot of intricacies to properly installing everything from retaining walls to driveways that an unlicensed contractor simply won’t worry about.

Lastly, a licensed contractor is required to carry insurance.  That insurance is there to protect you, the homeowner!

Now, you may actually prefer hiring an unlicensed landscape contractor simply because they are more personable than some big company.  A smaller team may be more friendly and quick to help with your specific needs.  Well, TRU Landscape prides itself in a small company attitude with a big company’s concern for quality.  You’ll find that our balance between attention to detail and customer service are perfect for your family, and will help to create your dream yard!

Hire a company you can trust for their experience, commitment, and impressive portfolio.  An estimate is just a call away.  Our number is 1-8-66-487-1359
