How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. 01

    Consult

    Free site visit. We listen, measure, and tell you what's actually possible — including what we'd skip.

  2. 02

    Design

    A clear written estimate, a planting plan, and a hard timeline. You see exactly what you're paying for.

  3. 03

    Build

    Same crew, on time, every day. We protect the rest of your property and clean up nightly.

  4. 04

    Maintain

    Optional weekly or bi-weekly care so the yard you paid for stays the yard you paid for.

About

A landscaper who actually picks up the phone.

JC Landscaping LA is a small, family-run crew based in Los Angeles. Julio Carlito started it in 2009 with a single truck and the same idea it runs on today: show up when you said you would, do what you said you'd do, and leave the place cleaner than you found it.

We do front yards, backyards, hillsides, slopes, design-builds, and the long-term care that keeps a finished yard finished. We're licensed, insured, and we speak Spanish and English on every job.

What clients say

Quiet crew. Loud results.

"Julio's team showed up at 7 every morning and left it cleaner than my kitchen. Yard went from a dirt pit to the best on the block."
Maya R. Echo Park · Backyard rebuild
"We got three quotes. JC was the only crew that actually walked the slope and pointed at problems before quoting. We hired on the spot."
Daniel & Priya Mt Washington · Hillside terrace
"Smart sprinklers cut our water bill by 40% the first month. They also fixed two leaks the last guy missed for years."
Greg T. Pasadena · Irrigation upgrade

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

How fast can you come out for an estimate?

We aim for a free in-person site visit within 48 hours of your call across most of LA. Drop us a note or call (323) 408-6425 and we'll lock a time.

Do you handle LADWP / SoCal Water rebates for turf removal?

Yes. We design rebate-eligible drought-tolerant yards and walk you through the LADWP turf-replacement and smart-controller paperwork — including the photos and plant-count documentation they require.

Do you pull permits for hardscape and walls?

For anything that needs one — yes. Retaining walls over 4 ft, structural pavers, drainage tied to the street, and outdoor electrical all get pulled with the City of LA before we break ground. We handle it.

What's your service radius?

Most of LA County: greater Los Angeles, the Eastside, San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Glendale, and the Westside through Santa Monica and Venice. South Bay and beach cities on a project basis — call to check.

How do payments work?

Free estimate, written contract, and a deposit to schedule. We invoice in clear milestones — never a giant surprise at the end. Cards, ACH, Zelle, and check all welcome.

Do you offer maintenance after the build?

Yes — weekly or bi-weekly plans starting after install. Same crew, recurring billing, and we replace anything that doesn't take in the first 30 days.
