Landscape design, hardscape, outdoor living, irrigation, drainage, planting, and sod. Drawn on paper first, then built for Los Angeles homes and commercial properties, start to finish.
Good design starts in the yard, not at a desk: where the afternoon sun lands, where water wants to go, what you actually see from the kitchen window. We stand in all of it before we draw a line, and the plan comes out of what the lot tells us.
The bones of a landscape are stone and concrete. Our crews build pavers, driveways, retaining walls, and concrete features with the tolerances of finish carpentry.
We build all of outdoor living, not just the landscape around it: kitchens, shade, fire, heat, and sound, designed together on one drawn plan and delivered by the same crew. Conduit goes in before the pavers close over it.
Water is the making or the undoing of a California landscape. We size irrigation to the planting, automate it intelligently, and move stormwater away from structures.
Planting tuned to California's climate: layered, drought tolerant, and chosen to look better in year five than in week one. Clean, healthy lawns that stay green on less water.
A pool is only as good as the twenty feet around it. We build the whole surround: deck, coping transition, seat walls, drainage, planting, and lighting. The shell itself is a C-53 licence and ours is C-27, so we work alongside your pool contractor rather than claiming their trade.
Deep shade, heavy pet traffic, or an owner who wants zero mowing: that is where turf earns its place. The difference is everything you cannot see: a compacted, properly graded base and drainage that actually carries water away.
A Los Angeles landscape lives half its life after sunset, which is when most of them disappear. Lighting is designed into the plan rather than bolted on after: placed for effect instead of glare, warm enough to keep greens rich.
Straight stripes, crisp edges, beds weeded and watered. A property should look inspected even when nobody is inspecting it.
Lawns, hedge lines, and beds maintained to show well every week of the year, for homes, HOAs, and commercial properties alike.
Explore MaintenanceIt depends on scope: a planting refresh is a different project from a full backyard with hardscape. Every Silver Leaf project starts with a free on site walkthrough and a written estimate, so you know the number before anything begins. Financing is available; ask about it when you request your estimate.
Yes. Silver Leaf Landscape is a design and build company: the team that draws your plan is the team that builds it, from grading to final planting.
Yes. We build all of outdoor living: outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands, pergolas and patio covers, fire features, infrared heating, weatherproof audio, and the decks, coping, and surrounds around a pool, designed into the same drawn plan as the landscape so the whole backyard is delivered as one project. The structural shell of a pool itself requires a C-53 swimming pool licence and ours is C-27 Landscaping, so we build everything around the water and work alongside your pool contractor.
Yes. We build and renovate landscapes for commercial properties and work directly with property managers across Greater Los Angeles.
We are based in Van Nuys and serve Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Southern California.
Five things, in rough order: how much hardscape is involved (stone and concrete carry the most labor and material), access and grading (a flat backyard with a wide gate builds cheaper than a hillside), the size and maturity of the planting (a one-gallon plant and a boxed specimen tree are different purchases), irrigation and drainage scope, and finish details like lighting. A written estimate after a free site walk puts real numbers to each before anything begins.
A front-yard refresh typically runs days to a couple of weeks; a full backyard with hardscape, irrigation, and planting runs longer; estate-scale work is measured in months. The honest answer depends on scope, permits, and material lead times, so we give you a realistic schedule for your specific project with the written estimate, then keep it moving until the walkthrough.
Call (818) 216-8287 or send the estimate form with a few words about your property. We typically respond within one to two business days and estimates are free.
Still deciding? Our guides work through what drives cost, how to choose outdoor living materials, and what to check after an earthquake.
Most projects use more than one. We scope the whole thing at once so the trades do not collide halfway through.
