Concrete Orange county

Orange County Concrete

TRU Landscape Services was rewarded a concrete project in Aliso Viejo.  Aliso Viejo is located in Orange County, California. At first glance this project seemed a little small for our company, but after walking the project we realized this was a great project for us. The property was having drainage issues, all of the water was coming from the back slope and flooding this small backyard. The first thing we did was remove the old concrete and grade out the yard. After grading out the yard we started installing a new drain system.

Orange County Drains

When we graded the dirt we started by the house so that it was our high point. By doing this we can make all of the water run away from the house. The new drain system runs away from the house out to the street. This property had lots of fall which is great for moving water away from the house. We use a SDR Drain pipe. This pipe has a glue joint system, which helps keep the tree roots from growing into the pipe. These pipes are used for sewer systems in other states. We have had great success using theses pipes for our outdoor drain systems.

Concrete Design

Our customer brought us a picture during the original estimate that showed some concrete steps over hanging other concrete steps. Some people would call these steps cantilevered. We call them over hanging steps. This was a nice design for the front yard, which became the focal point of the whole landscape project.

After starting the project the customer showed us a table inside of there house which had different tables over hanging other tables. They told us they wanted the stairs designed like the table. This was a fun challenge. TRU Landscape Services loves a fun challenge, we proceed to setup all of the concrete forms in the backyard all the way to the front yard. We installed a concrete curb in the backyard which will help slow some of the water coming from the slope and divert it to the drains. Then in the front yard we set up the steps to over hang each other (cantilevered). After setting our forms, we set up the rebar. Rebar will help strengthen the new concrete. TRU Landscape Services takes every precaution to help your concrete last for several years. Our customers were extremely happy with the way the concrete turned out. This couple were great people to work for!! We can’t wait for them to call us back to install all of the plants.

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.”

TRU Landscape stays up to date on all the materials, methods, and latest trends. They carefully listen to homeowners’ ideas and build on them to create an individualized beautiful retreat. With 25 years of landscaping experience and specialized teams, TRU Landscape can care for all of a homeowner’s outdoors needs. To see samples of their work and learn more about this unique company,
