The yard problems LA homeowners call us about most

Most yard trouble in Los Angeles traces back to the same few causes: hard, depleted soil, sprinklers that don’t cover evenly and quick fixes that never addressed either one.

1. My lawn keeps dying, no matter how much I water.

Usually: compacted clay soil. Roots can’t go deeper than an inch or two. What we do: break it up 6–8″ deep and work in real compost so roots have somewhere to grow.

2. Half the yard is soggy, the other half is brown.

Usually: uneven sprinkler coverage, a leaking valve or the wrong heads on a zone. What we do: repair or redesign the zones so water goes where the plants are.

3. Weeds took over and I don't know where to start.

Usually: old roots left in the ground. What we do: remove the old lawn and weeds by hand and machine, clear the roots, then rebuild from fresh soil.

4. The last landscaper's sod didn't last a year.

Usually: sod laid on unprepared ground. What we do: the prep work others skip — because that’s what decides whether a lawn survives.

5. I have a design, but nobody wants to do the hard part.

We’re the hands-on crew that builds it. We don’t sell designs — we turn your plan, or your designer’s plan, into a finished yard.

6. I just want to know what this will cost.

Why our lawns last

What happens under the grass is what you're really paying for

Anyone can roll out sod. The difference between a lawn that thrives for years and one that’s brown by next summer is the work you can’t see once it’s done. Here’s exactly what we do on a new lawn — nothing skipped:

We use composted horse manure as our main soil amendment — far more of it than most crews bother with — so your lawn is fed naturally for seasons, instead of relying on a few handfuls of chemical fertilizer.

1

Remove the old lawn and weeds

Including the roots, so they don’t come back through your new lawn.

2

Break the ground by hand, 6–8" deep

With a pick axe first, so the tiller can reach real depth.

3

Rototill 6–8" deep

Loosens and aerates compacted LA soil.

4

Spread 3" of organic compost

Real organic matter, not a light dusting.

5

Till again to blend it in

Compost mixed through the whole root zone, where it does the work.

6

Check and repair the sprinkler zones

Before the lawn goes down, while everything is still accessible.

7

Smooth the soil and lay the sod

Then we tell you exactly how to water it for the first weeks.

Preparation. We break the soil 6–8 inches deep, mix in 3 inches of organic compost and fix the sprinklers before any sod goes down. Most failed lawns we replace were laid on ground that was never prepared.

If the amount of old lawn material fits into your green waste trash can, there is no additional charge. However, if there is more material requiring disposal

3 guys working on your crew
(1000 sq ft / 400) + 1 extra guy. Minimum 3 guys.
3 * $55.00 = $165.00 per hour for repairs / extra labor

If there is more material than can fit into your green waste trash can, than there is probably enough material to constitute a time and labor expense. The hourly rate will apply. Where as another person might have very little or nothing at all to dispose of and there won’t be the need to charge any additional

Disposal is charged based on weight. For less than one ton, the cost is $170 (including dump fees and hauling). For each additional ton, it’s an extra $170. For example, disposing of 1 to 2 tons costs $340.

Rototilling is charged at $0.9 per square foot. For your 1000 sq ft area, the cost would be approximately $900. There is a minimum charge of $180.
