Common Questions
We have dead patches and bare areas in our San Clemente lawn. Can you help diagnose and fix this?
Absolutely. In our coastal climate, issues like poor drainage, compacted soil, or improper irrigation are common culprits. We start by assessing your soil condition and existing irrigation system. Our solution often involves regrading for better drainage, amending the soil, and designing a precise irrigation system to ensure even water coverage. We can then repair or replace the turf with a suitable grass variety or consider low-water alternatives like artificial turf, creating a resilient and healthy outdoor space.
What's involved in a complete landscape renovation for an older San Clemente home?
A full renovation with Earthworks is a comprehensive process. We begin by completely removing the old landscape, including hardscapes and plants. Next, we address foundational issues like regrading for drainage and conditioning the soil. From there, we rebuild with new structural elements—retaining walls, patios, driveways, and irrigation—followed by the installation of new softscapes and features like outdoor lighting or kitchens. Our hands-on project management ensures every phase meets our high standards, transforming your outdated yard into a cohesive, functional outdoor living area.
Do you handle both the design and construction of hardscape projects like patios and retaining walls?
Yes, we are a full-service design-build firm. Our team handles the entire project, from the initial design concept for your patio, walkway, or retaining wall through to the final construction and installation. We specialize in masonry, modular block systems, and interlocking pavers, ensuring the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your hardscape. By managing both design and construction, we maintain seamless communication, precise execution, and the quality control that has defined our work in San Clemente for nearly three decades.
