Drought-Tolerant Backyard Planting
Drought-tolerant planting can create a beautiful backyard while reducing the amount of water and maintenance needed to keep the landscape looking its best.
For Torrance backyards, we can incorporate California native plants, drought-tolerant shrubs, ground cover, ornamental grasses, and other low-maintenance options into new or existing planting areas.
Mulch, decorative gravel, decomposed granite, and other landscape materials can also be incorporated to fill planting areas, help define the landscape, and create a more finished appearance.
Privacy Hedges & Backyard Screening
Adding hedges or screening plants is a great way to create more privacy without making your backyard feel closed off.
Privacy planting can be used along fences and property lines or around patios, seating areas, and other outdoor living spaces. It can also add greenery to areas that would otherwise be dominated by fencing or walls.
We can help determine the right placement and plant options based on the height and coverage you want, available planting space, and conditions in your backyard.
Plants, Mulch & Walkways
Combining new planting with mulch and walkways can give your backyard a more finished, intentional look while adding color, texture, and definition to the space.
Whether you're refreshing existing landscaping or planning a larger backyard renovation, we can incorporate trees, shrubs, flowering plants, mulch, bark, decorative gravel, and paver walkways to create a landscape that complements your home and is easier to maintain.
