Common Questions
How does Castro Landscaping address common Los Angeles issues like landscape edging damage and overwatering?
In LA's climate, edging can shift with soil movement, and overwatering is a frequent issue that wastes water and harms plants. We address edging damage through proper earthmoving and regrading to ensure stable, level bases for new edging or hardscapes. For overwatered areas, our irrigation design and repair services include installing smart controllers and adjusting sprinkler heads for precise zoning, which conserves water and prevents lawn disease. Our organic approach to lawn and shrub care also helps build healthier, more resilient turf that uses water efficiently.
As a family-owned business since 1993, what sets your approach to landscape design apart?
Our approach is rooted in Santiago's hands-on experience as a gardener and over 25 years serving Southern California homes. We don't just design for looks; we create landscapes that thrive in our local climate. This means selecting drought-tolerant plants, designing efficient irrigation systems, and building hardscapes like patios and retaining walls with proper drainage. Every design is customized, and we use only organic products to ensure the long-term health of your garden, blending beauty with practical, sustainable care.
Do you handle both the design and construction of larger projects like driveways and retaining walls?
Yes, we provide a seamless, start-to-finish service. Our team handles everything from the initial design and planning to the full construction and installation of hardscape elements. This includes driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls, which are crucial for managing slopes common in LA. By managing both design and construction, we ensure the project is built correctly according to the plan, with quality materials and craftsmanship, and we coordinate all aspects, including any necessary earthmoving, grading, and final planting.
