The Yards We Fix
Ready to Start Your Los Angeles Landscaping Project?
From Craftsman bungalows in South Pasadena to hillside estates in Altadena, most projects we build start from one of these four situations. Recognizing yours is usually the first step toward a real design.
Overgrown or Outdated
A yard that has drifted past tidy maintenance and now needs a real overhaul - design, hardscape, and planting in one coordinated build.
Thirsty Lawn, Heavy Bills
Water-intensive grass that costs more every drought year. Drought-tolerant design with hydrozoning and LADWP turf-replacement rebate-qualified palettes pays itself back.
Sloped or Hillside Lot
A grade that demands real engineering - terracing, retaining walls, drainage - not just landscaping. Most LA firms send hillside work out. We build it.
Permit-Heavy Project
Hardscape over the impermeable threshold, retaining walls over four feet, driveway widening. Pasadena B&S and LADBS familiarity built in.

On-Site Consultation
The Ridgeline team walks the property, listens to how you want to use the yard, and outlines a phased budget tier.

Build
In-house crews execute the build with a dedicated PM. Daily cleanups, scheduled updates, and remote progress photos when you travel.
04
Warranty & Care
Punch-list walk, written workmanship warranty, and a maintenance plan so the design matures the way it was drawn.

Common Questions
Los Angeles Landscaping Questions Answered
Is the design consultation free?
Yes. We offer a complimentary on-site design consultation across Greater Los Angeles. We walk the property, discuss your goals and budget tier, and outline a phased path to the finished project.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Greater Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley from our Pasadena headquarters, including Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Beverly Hills, San Marino, La Cañada Flintridge, Altadena, Alhambra, South Pasadena, Culver City, and West Covina.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. Ridgeline is a CSLB-licensed, bonded, and insured landscape contractor. Every project carries a written workmanship warranty.
How much does a typical landscape project cost?
Front-yard drought conversions usually run $15K–$45K. Full back-yard remodels with hardscape, planting, and lighting commonly land between $50K and $200K. Hillside engineering, pools, and full estate work scales beyond. We quote per project after a site visit.
How long does a typical project take?
Design typically takes 3–6 weeks. Permitted hardscape and softscape installs run 4–12 weeks depending on scope, with hillside and engineered-wall projects taking longer due to permit review.
Do you handle city permits?
Yes. We handle Pasadena Building & Safety and LADBS permit applications in-house, including engineered drawings and geotechnical coordination for retaining walls over 4 ft retained height.
