About Tobi Ulemek

Hi! I've been an Orange County Landscaper since I was a kid when I got to use my first lawnmower. TRU Landscape has grown a lot since then, and now we do so much more than residential and commercial maintenance. We are a full service landscape construction company that builds hardscape, installs patio areas, and makes custom concrete products like outdoor fireplaces and fire pits.

Orange County ADU

Orange county ADU

Orange County ADU is one of several outdoor construction elements that we offer. ADUs are known by many different names: Granny Flats, Secondary Units, Backyard Cottages, In-Law Units are just a few of the names. No matter what you like to call an ADU we design and build them. Our professional designers will lay out a professional design while utilizing the existing land. Once the design is complete and permits are issued our professional construction crew will start building the dwelling. ADU’s can be used for the family to live in or can be source of income. ADU’s can be close to the same size as an apartment or townhome.

ADU California

Start with a firm foundation!! We will have a soils report done before any construction begins. The soils report will help the engineers to design the size and materials requirements to build a firm foundation. Once we lay out the foundation the plumbing will be roughed in. Once the city inspector signs off on the building plan, then we can install the concrete. Concrete requirement’s will usually call for a deputy inspector to be present when we are pouring the concrete. These inspectors assure that the concrete company is providing the concrete that is called for. After the foundation dries we can begin the framing process and roofing.

Orange County Granny Flats

Once the framing is finished then the interior elements will begin. Electrical and lighting will be roughed in and then after more city inspections, drywall will be installed. Once the drywall is installed then the texture will be applied. Bathrooms will be built and the kitchen will be built. The finishing touches will be finished. All of these trades will be managed by us. We know it sounds like a lot of headaches! That is where we specialize in managing all of the headaches for you. There are great benefits in building a new Orange county ADU. Here is a link with more information on ADU’s in Orange County.

Retaining walls are used for several different aspects of a Orange County Hardscape. Retaining walls can be installed to help gain more usable space. The right design will create planter beds.
