Richards Custom Living | Certified Landscaping Services in Santa Ana, CA

We understand that soil compaction and dead turf are frequent issues in our local area. Our approach starts with a thorough site assessment to identify drainage and soil health problems. For construction projects like patios or driveways, we use proper grading and base materials to prevent future compaction. For landscaping, we often recommend and install specialized irrigation systems and soil amendments to promote healthy root growth and revive struggling lawns, ensuring your outdoor space is both beautiful and resilient.

As a design-build contractor, we manage your project from concept to completion. It begins with a consultation to understand your vision, followed by our team creating a detailed design. Once approved, our in-house craftsmen—many of whom have been with us for decades—handle all construction, including masonry, hardscaping, and any necessary landscaping. This integrated approach, overseen by our family, ensures quality control, clear communication, and a finished result that meets our high standards for durability and aesthetics.

Yes. While we began over three decades ago specializing in landscaping and hardscapes, we are fully licensed general contractors. This allows us to offer a comprehensive range of services. We can design and build your dream patio or poolscape, and also manage larger projects like custom ADUs, interior/exterior wall construction, and home additions. The same team of skilled artisans and commitment to detail applies to every project, providing a consistent, high-quality experience.
