Olivares Gardening Landscaping Services of Los Angeles is best known for serving the Santa Clarita Valley and surrounding areas. We understand the challenges that the more extreme temperatures than Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley bring. Having temperatures range from 40 to 100 degrees over the course of the year requires proper landscape maintenance. Add in the frequent drought conditions, and you have challenges which command an experienced team such as Olivares. Communities such as Palmdale and Lancaster typically do not face the colder temperatures during the winter, while experiencing higher summer temperatures than Los Angeles. This adds to the importance of cultivating and maintaining palm trees and other large trees to provide shade for the remainder of the landscaping.
One example of our expert work is knowing to dig the planting hole at least two times the size of the root ball of each new plant. We then install the new plant about one inch above the surrounding soil. Ideally, that soil was tested and replaced, if necessary, prior to this taking place. More of the “little things” we do include checking and often replacing the nozzles in your irrigation system to help achieve the maximum impact. If our landscape design team determines additional needs, we are in position to handle ordering materials, work with contractors, schedule delivery, and take on the entire construction project. Our range includes large trees such as palm trees, shrubs, groundcover, and perennials. We can handle any project, whether for a yard, garden, patio, entrance, or open acreage which surrounds. When it comes to groundcover, we are experts in Blue Fescue, Dymondia, and Creeping Myoporum, which are typically the top three choices for best performance in and around the Santa Clarita Valley.

Mike Maria Landscaping brings affordable landscaping to Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley from its Covina location. What sets us apart is how we handle a project of any size, whether residential or commercial. Our landscape design and landscape maintenance teams are prepared to plan and continue scheduled landscape maintenance throughout the year. We do so much more than the cultivating, planting, trimming, and pruning services. Successful landscape maintenance must include checking the irrigation system, gutter cleaning, and keeping a consistent look and feel throughout the exterior. Getting proper shade for appropriate plants and flowers is as important as shade for the patio, pool area, and/or play area for the kids or pets.
The San Gabriel Valley is known for a lot more than being home to the American Museum of Ceramic Art or the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area. In addition to hundreds of thousands of single-family homes, the City of Industry and nearby Inland Empire are host to thousands of commercial and industrial properties of all shapes and sizes. We offer landscape architecture services for new construction or major renovations. If your project requires construction, our team can help with everything from ordering materials, plants, flowers, shrubs, and trees, to working with contractors on the construction part, and providing a thorough plan for reliable and scheduled maintenance. We strive to work within your budget while meeting your landscaping goals.
In addition, we understand things like wanting visitors to your property to have shade for their cars and the beauty of professional landscaping to enjoy while entering and leaving your property. Whether maintaining large palm trees or native shrubs such as the San Bernardino Beardtounge, our team remains ready for the challenge. You can start by scheduling a free consultation, whether for your home or a commercial property, at your convenience. You can also contact us directly through the GreenPal App.

Lawn Care by Lar’s Landscaping in Los Angeles CA is known for its reliable and affordable landscape maintenance services. We serve the area from Pasadena to Santa Monica. Their focus is to provide scheduled maintenance and doing what it takes to add to the curb appeal of your property, instead of trying to upsell fancy and costly landscape architecture. It begins with establishing a landscape maintenance plan for the year, which is designed to include everything needed. Whether removing and replanting, or cultivating existing trees, shrubs, plants, and flowers, it’s all about having scheduled and reliable service and the peace of mind that goes with it. Having carefully selected native trees and shrubs provide much needed shade, along with possibly adding a layer of privacy for a patio, pool, or grilling area. Doing so is often more cost effective than fencing, while adding more beauty to the yard or entire property area.
In addition, Lawn Care by Lar’s also takes care of carefully selecting the best fertilizers for your property. They understand that homes in Santa Monica or Pacific Palisades may have more moisture in the soil than those in Hollywood Hills or Pasadena. Our fully licensed and insured landscaping team also handles weed control and/or pest control where needed, including the use of environmentally friendly herbicides and pesticides. The irrigation system is also monitored, whether by gutter cleaning or monitoring the slope of the property to best accommodate the flow of moisture. If land planning and/or construction are needed for any of our clients, we will handle scheduling and supervising contractors throughout the entire project. No project is too small or too large, and we strive to work within your budget, whether for initial or one-time improvements or for our yearly plan for scheduled and reliable landscape maintenance services. You can easily book Lawn Care by Lar’s directly through the GreenPal App!

Johny’s Gardening Landscaping Services in Los Angeles CA is known as a landscape maintenance leader for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Southland, from Culver City to Glendale and beyond. Their landscape architecture team is also known for its hardscape experience, starting with landscape design, continuing with construction, and leading in to years of scheduled top-notch maintenance. The drought in recent years has created additional restrictions on watering. As a result, our established and insured landscape design team can help with construction and installation of a ‘drip irrigation’ system. Designed to conserve water, it is considered to be at least 20% more effective than a sprinkler system, while not needing to be checked as often as a sprinkler system.
Native and drought-tolerant plants can also be added, updated, or replanted. These need less water than “imported” plants, while requiring much less fertilizer, and help to attract birds and butterflies for those that enjoy having them in the garden.
In recent months, many of our clients have requested (or converted) to hardscaping, going with mulch, rock formations, gravel, and/or brick designed to add beauty and curb appeal to the property. Our team is also available to work with contractors and supervise the ordering delivery, and installation. We can enhance with stepping stones, retaining walls, and add benches, fountains, and other delights which save on landscape maintenance and water costs. These services are available for properties of all shapes and sizes, including apartment complexes, townhouse developments, office buildings, and industrial or warehouse properties. Projects can range from planting or replanting trees and shrubs to add shade to a parking lot, garden or meeting area, patio or grilling space, and entranceways and common areas. Cleaning and scheduled maintenance can also be packaged in and fit to almost any budget and landscaping goal. You can schedule a free initial consultation, and can book Johny’s directly by using the GreenPal App!

The climate and conditions in and around Los Angeles make a big difference when it comes to planning reliable landscaping.
The Mediterranean climate of the Los Angeles area and the limited precipitation in most of the area combine to add to the importance of thorough landscape planning. It is no surprise that L.A. receives nearly 80 more sunny days per year than the national average, along with a much lower amount of rain in comparison. Residents and tourists love the many attractions the Southland has to offer. The Hollywood Walk of Fame, Griffith Park Observatory, Universal City, the shops of Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica Pier are among them.
Properties located near the Pacific Ocean have more moisture than those located inland such as downtown Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley. Consequently, the majority of the Southland needs to be aware of special regulations in place regarding the drought situation when it comes to landscape design. Suggested strategies include watering before 10 AM and reducing the watering schedule during the winter months. It is highly recommended to double check your property’s irrigation system twice each year as, hopefully, a preventative measure. Having a drip irrigation system is now considered to be more efficient than ordinary sprinkler systems.
Some property owners have gone to alternative measures to save on having to water a large lawn area. For example, there are several native forms of groundcover which are actually native to California and are considered to be drought resistant. These include the Carmel Creeper, Bearberry, Point Sal Spreader Sage, Yarrow, and Canyon Gray Sagebrush. Other owners install artificial grass. Although artificial grass significantly reduces watering costs and does not need pesticides or herbicides, it is, however, not considered to be environmentally friendly. Mulch is considered a viable alternative, whether organic or inorganic. Common forms include straw, small rocks, and compost. Advantages of mulch include reducing erosion, suppressing weeds, and preventing extreme soil temperatures. If considering a rock garden, it is of the utmost importance to audit the soil before making any definite plans. A rock garden actually requires having soil underneath which drains well.
Native plants are good for a drought tolerant garden. Although they can survive the occasional dry spell and are considered low maintenance, they still need watering and regular attention. This is especially true during the weeks after planting to help them to establish. Trees in this category include the Big Leaf Maple and Coast Live Oak. Shrub choices include the Toyon, Golden Currant, and Brickell Bush. If considering native flowers, popular local choices include the California Poppy, California Wildrose, and the Foothill Penstemon. A leading succulent in this category is the Chalk Dudleya. However, the Chalk Dudleya need very careful planting in order to function as intended. They need sun, but should be planted at a 45 to 90 degree angle and into rocky slopes, and do not always survive if simply planted straight up.
It is also possible to add curb appeal by adding pavers, brick, and/or outdoor lighting. Some property owners add a fountain, birdbath, or benches, which also do not require watering (except for care for a fountain) on a regular basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mulch is ideal for replacing or substituting for grass to save on watering and maintenance costs. It is also designed to prevent erosion while protecting the soil and strengthen grass, tree roots, and garden plants. An organic mulch is ideal for homeowners looking for a long-term infusion of nutrients. They consist of wood, tree bark, pine needles, and other plant-based materials. There are also numerous inorganic mulches, which consist of river rocks or gravel, as well as rubber pellets and forms of black plastic. Although they do not return nutrients to surrounding soil, the inorganic mulch does not need to be replaced as frequently. Each type of mulch serves to maintain steady temperatures within the soil, helps to prevent growth of weeds, and to reduce soil erosion for the long term.
The most common tree in the Southland is the Mexican Fan Palm, which is known to grow quickly and often reach heights of more than 100 feet. The Foothill Pine is a native tree which typically grows upright to more than 80 feet but grows more slowly. Other common trees found in Los Angeles are the Coast Live Oak, Toyon, Elderberry, and Chapparal Yucca. The Buckwheat and Sagebrush are each considered to be native for the San Fernando Valley. Other trees which grow well in and around Los Angeles are the Eastern Redbud, Bailey Acacia, Evergreen Ash, and the Jacaranda. If your preference is flowering trees, the best for the Southland are the Mimosa Tree, Golden Rain Tree, Evergreen Pear, and Crape Myrtle.
The climate in the Los Angeles area makes this a tricky question. The best conditions for planting grass seed are when the daytime temperatures range between 60 and 75 degrees. For initial seeding, early Fall, such as September to mid-October can be good unless the temperatures remain unusually hot. If you are looking to reseed (as opposed to initial seeding to create a lawn), late March through mid-May can be the best time, unless the temperatures are higher than normal. In addition to temperatures, the condition of the soil is another consideration. For the best possible seeding, both the soil and the temperatures factor in to how well (or poorly) your grass will grow and thrive. While not a requirement, grass seed should be covered with 1/4 inch of soil. If left on top of the ground, it could be carried away by wind or the flow of water as well as eaten by birds.
The high values for properties in Los Angeles and around the Southland have an impact on the cost of landscaping, especially when it comes to creating or installing. Typically, a landscape construction or renovation project could cost 10% of the value of the property. When it comes to landscaping a yard, costs range from $900 to $30,000. The reason for the wide range is that considerations include the scope of work required, the size and shape of the property, and the caliber and qualifications of the landscaping company and/or contractor. Landscape maintenance in Los Angeles typically ranges between $50 and $100 per hour, also based on the size of the property and caliber of the landscaper.
Warm-season grasses like Bermudagrass, California Buffalograss, St. Augustinegrass, and Zoysiagrass are ideal for Los Angeles due to their drought tolerance and ability to thrive in warm climates. Bermudagrass is perfect for high-traffic areas, while California Buffalograss is low-maintenance and eco-friendly.
Most grass types need about an inch of water per week. It's best to water deeply at least twice a week during dry spells, ideally in the morning to reduce evaporation. Adjust your watering schedule based on the weather and your lawn's specific needs.
The optimal times for fertilizing are spring and early fall. However, if missed, warm-season lawns can be fertilized in May or June. Be cautious with synthetic fertilizers during hot weather to avoid burning the grass.
Grubs and aphids are common pests that can damage lawns. Monitoring for signs of infestation and managing water accumulation areas can help prevent pests. Introducing beneficial insects like lacewings and maintaining a healthy lawn are effective pest management strategies.
Yes, artificial turf is a popular option in Los Angeles due to its low maintenance and water-saving benefits. It's especially suitable for areas where natural grass struggles to thrive or for homeowners seeking a green lawn year-round without the upkeep of traditional grass
During the hot summer months, it's crucial to maintain a proper watering schedule, mow at the correct height to prevent stress, reseed as needed, and monitor for pests. Avoiding excessive foot traffic can also help prevent soil compaction and ensure healthy growth
