Orange County Landscape

Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just completed a landscape project in Yorba Linda California. This landscape project had several different details. Which included : a Pondless waterfall, Interlocking Pavers, and several smaller projects. TRU Landscape Services has been installing all of your landscaping in Orange County for over 25 years. Our company takes pride in the fact that we can install all of your outdoor needs. There is no need to have a interlocking paver company to install the driveway and a pond company to install the pondless water fall.

Our company provides all of these services and our customers don’t have the headaches of dealing with several companies. During a landscape install there are several smaller projects that must be done in the right order. A good example is that the sprinkler pipes must be installed under the walkway before the interlocking pavers can be installed. So if a customer was trying to manage this project on their own, they would have to call out the landscaper to install the sprinkler pipes and the interlocking paver company would have to wait or even leave the job. If one company has to wait or even leave the project due to another company, it could cost the customer more money or wasted time. Buy hiring TRU Landscape Services you have found the one company that can design your landscape and install every aspect of it.

Orange county Interlocking Pavers

TRU Landscape Services removed all of the concrete driveways and walkways in one day. It took 3 bobcat tractors, one 18 wheeler dump truck and several smaller trucks to complete this work.

On the next day we installed all of the underground pipes and wires. Right away our interlocking crew started installing the base for the pavers. Our design team had already showed our customers several different styles and colors of interlocking pavers. So right after prepping the base we started installing the driveway and walkways. It took our crew roughly 3 days to complete this part of the project. The customers were really happy because they could park their cars in the driveway right away. Unlike concrete we always recommend not parking on the driveway for several days.

Orange County Ponds

TRU Landscape Services loves installing water features. There are several types of water features we can install for you. One of the most popular ones right now is a pondless waterfall. The benefits are very low maintenance and they are very safe to have children around. Our project in Yorba Linda was spread out enough that while one crew was working on the interlocking pavers there was enough room to start the pondless waterfalls. On this water feature we installed 2 small creeks running through the front yard. These creeks are only a few inches deep but they provide the sound and beauty that Orange County lacks due to our dry climate.  Our design team walked the customers through the design of the creeks. On paper all designs look great but when it gets installed it always looks different. Once again this is a prime example of hiring just one company to install all of your outdoor needs. We designed the entire landscape around the water feature. The tree’s, plants and grass all were installed to accident the pondless waterfalls.

Orange County Landscaper

Orange County Landscaper

TRU Landscape Services was recently awarded for completing a landscape project in Anaheim, California.  Anaheim sits in the Northern part of Orange County, surrounded by the cities of Orange, Cypress and Yorba Linda. At the time, our customer was looking for a quality landscape design that would fall within a decent price range of his budget. Once we investigated the property’s layout, we began to brainstorm around some great, innovative ideas. Given that our customer already had a large pond in their back yard, we were able to reconstruct a new and improved pond-less waterfall.  A pond-less waterfall is when the water actually runs underground but then resurfaces in a cyclical motion as it is pumped back up to the waterfall; these types of ponds require easy maintenance and are kid friendly.

Orange County Fire Pit

In addition, TRU Landscape Services also built and implemented a fire pit in front of the water falls. Our first task was to install a new gas line. After successfully finishing the gas line installation, we began working on the fire pit. This particular fire pit was a 24’ inches and styled in a round fashion. We installed stucco on the sides of it as well as flagstone cap. Next, we implemented lava rock within the middle of the fire pit. Our wide array of designs allows for personal customization and fine detail. When the fire pit construction is complete, we had our crews hard to work on the block wall that was falling over. Within a couple of days, we finalized the installation for a new block wall. We enjoy working on these kinds of projects since we have been providing hardscapes to Orange County for over 20 years.

Orange County Concrete

Lastly, our customers communicated to us they did not want a yard that demanded high maintenance. Therefore, we suggested full concrete installation throughout the entire back yard. In terms of receiving a great deal on upgrades, one of our best offers is to add color to the concrete; the color truly puts a nice, smooth touch to the concrete. Finishing the project, we realized the concrete really brought this whole activity together. Our customer was very happy about the end result and ecstatic about the entire project overall. Once we completed our assignment, the customer mentioned to us that he received an estimate from another landscape company that was going to charge several thousand dollars more for same job. The main deciding factor in selecting TRU Landscape Services for their project was that we conducted all of our work with our own, specialized crews.

Aliso Viejo Gets New Pond

Aliso Viejo Gets New Pond

TRU Landscape Services was rewarded a pond installation project in Aliso Viejo. Aliso Viejo is located in Orange County, California. Aliso Viejo is surrounded by the cities of  Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, and Laguna Niguel. Aliso Viejo has a population of roughly 50,000 people and was Orange Counties 34 city. We enjoy working in Aliso Viejo, especially installing or maintaining ponds. TRU Landscape Services has been installing ponds in Orange County for 25 years. Yes, it’s true we are a landscape company. But ponds are one of our specialty items. We have been trained on many different types of  ponds. One company trained us in Washington state. In Washington they build larger ponds than here in Orange County. Larger ponds are more maintenance than the smaller ones.  Ponds located in a partial sun environment are less maintenance. We try and always build some shade shelter over our ponds. Direct sun and heat create more algae.  Algae blooms can create large problems for pond owners. There are many different ways we go about clearing up a Orange County pond. Give us a call and we will come out to your property and give you an estimate to clean up your pond.

Benefits of a Pond

Ponds can provide a focal point in your landscape. Ponds provide beautiful sounds to listen too. There are many different plants that can be grown in ponds. There are many different types of ponds. A garden pond is your basic pond, that has a small waterfall and some plants growing in it. These types of ponds are pretty much low maintenance. A fish pond or also called Koi pond has a few different elements than your normal garden pond. The main one being fish.  Fish can be more maintenance, but provide enjoyment to your landscape.  Most fish do great in Orange County ponds.  In other states they have to deal with  ponds freezing over, not so in  our beautiful climate. The newest pond is the pond less type. This pond has some major differences than the other two ponds we mentioned.  First of all it doesn’t have your normal pond. It has a basin that holds the water under the ground. If you were looking at this type of pond, the first thing you would wonder about is where does the water go?  Usually we build a holding reservoir and then cover it with rocks. This type of pond is low maintenance. The water running down the streams and waterfalls usually keeps it clean. This type of pond is safe for the children to play around, since there is no pool of water to fall in. Because these pond don’t require a large amount of area they are great for the smaller yard. These types of ponds provide beautiful sounds.  If you have allot of car traffic these ponds are great for buffering out all the noise from the cars.

Orange County Ponds

Orange County Ponds

TRU Landscape Services was called out to Orange to install a pond. Orange is a city in Orange County, California. Other cities that surround Orange are Villa Park, Anaheim Hills, and Santa Ana. This customer had called us out for a estimate originally for a pond. There are many different types of ponds available to choose from in Orange County. After seeing the property and talking to the customer, we decide on a Pondless waterfall. A Pondless waterfall is a type of pond that uses a catch basin to store the water underground. This holding tank has a pump installed inside of it, which pumps the water up to the top of the waterfalls. The customer already has a pool in their back yard. They didn’t want another body of water to worry about their grandchildren falling into. This was the main factor behind choosing to install a Pondless waterfall. The second reason was they didn’t want a lot of maintenance. All ponds do have some minor maintenance, but a Pondless waterfall has very little maintenance at all. Orange County doesn’t get cold enough during the winter to freeze the water, so no need to drain it during the winter. Another great thing about Pondless waterfalls is the water is constantly being cleaned by the rocks and gravel we use to build the waterfalls. There will always be debris to clean up, but most gardeners can take care of this problem. One of the customers concerns was about the water level getting too low and burning up the pump. We like to install a auto water filler in our ponds. When the water reaches a certain level a valve will turn on the water for a short time to replenish the reservoir. This customer already had a outdoor drain system in their back yard, so we installed a drain line into the water reservoir. If the water level rises too high from rain it will allow the water to drain out through the pipes.

Orange County Water Features

TRU Landscape Services has been installing ponds in Orange County for 20 years. We work with our suppliers to constantly be updated on the newest techniques and materials available. Orange County has a great climate to grow plants from all over the world. We can provide all of your water plants along with your bedding plants. One of the most common questions we receive from our customers is do ponds waste water?  It is true,  you will lose some water through evaporation and water splashing around on the waterfalls, but this water usage is a lot less water if you were to landscape this same area. The Pondless waterfalls are children friendly. All of the water is held under ground, so there is no way for a child to fall in the water. However,  you will want to watch them so they don’t start throwing rocks from your new waterfall. We can use all types of materials to build you a Pondless water feature. We have used wooded barrels, Fountainscapes and vases for a few examples. Rain harvesting systems are getting popular in other parts of the world. Orange County receives such little rain fall that it hasn’t become real popular. TRU Landscape Services can build your dream pond, whatever type you choose. We build garden ponds, Koi ponds and Pondless water features. Water features always become the focal point of your garden area. Let us design the right water feature for your landscape and budget.
