JS Landscaping Hawthorne

Landscape Design

We will work with you to create a plan of action, which will be completely unique to you and your property. We focus on achieving your dreams, so we first start with going over that in detail. Depending on the type of property you have and the size will help determine our possible options. We can incorporate hardscapes, plants, lighting, water features, and more. We can take on the landscape design process for you or work directly with you, and also offer suggestions and show examples of similar things we have done for clients in the past.

Garden and Plant Installation

Typically we will select the different plants and trees with our tree service that will work best with your outdoor area and also for your given climate. You can choose the design or style you are looking for, or if you know a specific plant or tree that is acclimated well with your yard and climate then that will work too. Other vegetation such as flowers can be used as well to add more visual appeal to the space. The soil conditions and future maintenance are also factors to consider when deciding on your garden and plant installation options.

Hardscape Installation

These are nice accents to your outdoor area that allows for better use of it in a more functional way. These can also look very visually appealing so it can add in that way to your area as well. These can include pathways throughout your yard, as well as walls, steps, decks, or gazebos. Patios and seating areas are essential to maximize the functionality of your space so we can enjoy it and spend more time in it, and also possibly entertain your friends and family as well. 

Irrigation Systems

We provide the installation and maintenance of irrigation systems throughout your outdoor space, which of course depends on the landscape design we utilize and what components make that up. We will intertwine it nicely into the space around the hardscape and focus on the vegetation that needs it the most. Other alternatives such as drought resistant landscaping can reduce the need for as much irrigation installation. Typically this is made up of drip irrigation, tree service, sprinklers, or automated timers to fully address your entire landscape area.

Trimming and Pruning

This can be done in conjunction with the lawn care and maintenance as these services can typically be used periodically, although maybe not quite as much as the lawn care service. It also depends on the types of vegetation that is used in the area. Shrubs, trees, and hedges all need pruning and trimming to help maintain their overall look but also their health, so this tree service is essential to keeping the overall upkeep of the plants in your yard.

Lawn Care and Maintenance

We offered preventive maintenance as well as weekly or periodical lawn care and maintenance to maintain a nice visual appeal of your lawn and garden. These services can be scheduled as needed or done on a recurring basis, whichever option works best for you. This can include lawn mowing, fertilizing, weed controlling, and aerating. The focus is to keep the lawn and grass looking healthy and clean, to offer a nice green look to fill out your space. 

Mulching

Mulch is used to help the soil and other aspects of the lawn and outdoor area thrive in the current environment. It is usually applied to just the garden and soil, to help it keep its moisture and also fight off pesky weeds. It keeps the soil and garden beds protected from outside issues and improves the overall health of the soil to keep your outdoor area looking good for extended periods of time. 

Seasonal Services

This can depend on the area and also the type of plants and trees that are living in your lawn and backyard. Some areas throughout Los Angeles may have palm trees or other types of trees that do not drop that many leaves. This does not mean they do not need maintenance, but they may require less seasonal services to clean up all those leaves that may drop from other trees during the peak times. Other services can also be provided to help the landscape prepare for the different seasons as they start to come up and change. All types of tree service can be provided as well.

Lawn Renovation

This type of service is usually a complete overhaul of the current lawn for various reasons. Perhaps it died during the last drought or has just been a bit neglected, and it is time to fix it up. Depending on the current state of the lawn, there are different approaches to handling the lawn renovation project. There are soil improvement products that can be utilized, or complete dethatching to plant fresh lawn. 

Turf Installation

Turf installation has become more popular in California and throughout the country to help ease the burden of overwatering, and help maintain our resources. It also makes maintenance and upkeep a bit easier and thus results in a visually appealing lawn all year long without much extra effort. This is an option we can accommodate and install if it fits well with your outdoor space.

Pest Control and Management

This is best done as a preventative measure and is something that we can incorporate into our normal services so as to best protect against any potential pest infestations in the future. We can also handle any currently active pest situations that you need help with. We do so in order to protect the overall landscape and vegetation throughout your yard.

Sustainable and Drought Resistant Landscaping

We offer sustainable and eco-friendly landscaping practices and concepts, as well as specialized plants and products to accommodate this as well. Especially important for active families and pets for safe outdoor areas. There are also options that require little to no water to help save on that while also still looking visually appealing. 

Picture

But lawn care is an ongoing process that requires constant effort, and following lawn maintenance practices is the only way to ensure a strong and lively lawn. Regular and consistent mowing is essential, and one must make sure to never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in one mow.

Adequate watering is crucial for the health of your lawn, with plenty of water on occasion, and the best time to do it is early in the morning. Fertilization at the proper times helps nourish your lawn and promote growth. Weed and pest control are regular practices that need to happen to keep your lawn healthy, and frequent monitoring can ensure that these do not get out of hand.

Proper light is needed as well, and this can depend on the type of lawn, given that some require significant sunlight and others prefer more shade. The upkeep seems simple at first when you think about it, but as you get more into the weeds of lawn care, you realize that there is a lot more to it. If you need assistance with any of these tasks mentioned or want to just not worry about any of it at all, reach out to Hawthorne Landscaping to set us up for recurring maintenance today. 

One such alternative that could yield this result would be to utilize and install artificial turf in your outdoor space. We specialize in the installation of artificial turf and can offer some insight into this option if you are considering it. Some people prefer the natural beauty and comfort of grass, but the high maintenance, water usage, and pollen and allergies have resulted in many people making the switch to artificial grass. Artificial turf offers a nice consistent lawn that is always green and perfectly even throughout.

There is little to no maintenance, as mowing, watering, tree service, and fertilizing are all not needed. It is also very durable and withstands usage just fine, so large objects can be placed on it and it can be walked on freely without any issues. Allergen-free is also useful for many people, as artificial turf is hypoallergenic, allowing those with grass allergies to be eased.

There are some environmental concerns about the materials used in artificial grass, but we do offer some options that do utilize recycled materials. So there are some considerations to have, but there are some benefits to replacing your grass lawn with turf, so if you are interested in making a change or just learning more about your options, let us know and we can assist you.
