Our Services
Fifteen Landscape Services, One Bonded Team
From the first walk-through to the tenth year of weekly upkeep, every service Ground Up Outdoors offers is performed by the same in-house team — no subcontractors, no rotating crews, no finger-pointing when something needs a second visit.
We design, build, irrigate, prune, plant, and maintain across residential, HOA, commercial, and municipal properties throughout the Inland Empire and greater Southern California. Pick one service or layer in all fifteen — the bonded team behind your account stays the same.
Most accounts start with one service and grow from there. A homeowner books quarterly tree care and adds weekly maintenance the next spring. An HOA layers grounds management with a seasonal color program. A retail center bolts irrigation controller management onto a base maintenance contract. There is no minimum package, no hidden bundling fee, and no onboarding friction when you fold a new service into an existing schedule.
Every Service Your Property Needs
Fifteen landscape disciplines delivered by one in-house bonded team. Designed, installed, irrigated, and maintained under one roof — never subcontracted.
Landscape Maintenance
Fixed-schedule mowing, edging, blowing, weeding, and bed care — weekly or bi-weekly cadence with seasonal pruning and cleanup rolled in.
Landscape Design
Site-walked, hand-rendered plans built around SoCal microclimates, your soil profile, and how you actually live in the yard.
Irrigation Services
New system design, drip retrofits, valve and head replacement, leak diagnosis, and pressure tuning by an in-house irrigation specialist.
Tree Care
Structural pruning, deep-root fertilization, cabling, deadwood removal, and post-storm response by ISA-informed, insured climbers.
Enhancements
Hardscape upgrades, lighting refreshes, new plant palettes, and bed renovations that lift an existing landscape without a full rebuild.
Water Conservation
MWD-compliant turf replacement, low-flow drip conversion, smart controllers, and drought-tolerant palettes that hit local rebate eligibility.
Tree Installation
Specimen and shade-tree selection, soil prep, planting, staking, and the first two years of establishment care — California-grown stock only.
Commercial Management
Single-vendor grounds programs for office parks, retail centers, and industrial sites — monthly walk reports and a named foreman on every account.
HOA Services
Bonded, certificate-of-insurance-ready common-area care with board-friendly billing, monthly reports, and rapid response to homeowner requests.
Municipal Services
Public-works-grade grounds maintenance for parks, medians, civic buildings, and right-of-way — prevailing-wage capable and bid-package ready.
Estate Care
White-glove maintenance for high-end residential properties — scheduled crew assignments, single-foreman accountability, and discreet on-site presence.
Seasonal Color
Two- or four-rotation annual color programs sized to your beds, plus perennial refreshes sourced from local growers for hardier, longer-lasting blooms.
Mulch Replenishment
Spring and fall top-offs in bark, gorilla hair, or decomposed granite — installed clean, edged, and weed-fabric-ready.
Smart Controllers
Remote and on-site adjustment of smart controllers (Hydrawise, Rachio, Hunter, Rain Bird) tied to local ET data and your specific zoning.
Grounds Maintenance
Full-property upkeep for buildings with onsite tenants — trash sweeps, light hardscape repair, drain clearing, and 24/7 emergency response.
Picking the Right Service
How do I know which services I need?
Start with a free walk-through. A licensed Ground Up foreman tours the property with you, asks how you actually use the space, points out what is working and what is not, and recommends only the services that move the needle. There is no pressure to bundle and no obligation to proceed.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Maintenance accounts are month-to-month and can be paused or cancelled with thirty days written notice. Design and build projects are flat-rate by project — the estimate is the invoice. HOAs and commercial clients sometimes request multi-year agreements; we are happy to write them when asked.
Can I bundle services or do I have to hire separate companies?
Everything we offer flows through one bonded team. Most clients pair maintenance with at least one specialty — irrigation tuning, tree care, or seasonal color — which means one foreman, one invoice, one point of contact, and one company on the hook if something needs to be revisited.
What does a typical project cost?
Maintenance starts at a flat monthly rate based on lot size, plant inventory, and visit frequency. Design and build budgets vary by scope. After the walk-through we send a written, itemized estimate within one business day, so you see exactly what you are paying for before approving anything.
Do you serve commercial, HOA, and municipal properties or only residential?
All four. Roughly half of our book is residential — estates, single-family, custom build-outs — and half is commercial: HOAs, business parks, retail centers, and municipal grounds. The same in-house team handles every account type; the only thing that changes is reporting cadence and billing format.
How fast can you start?
Most maintenance accounts begin within one week of signing. Design and build projects typically schedule three to six weeks out, depending on season and material lead times. Emergency calls — storm damage, broken main lines, downed limbs — are dispatched within hours, twenty-four hours a day.
Do you provide a written warranty on installed work?
Yes. Plant material we install carries a one-year replacement warranty against failure, provided the property has been on a Ground Up maintenance program during that period — we cannot warranty plants installed and then handed off to a different maintenance company, since we no longer control the irrigation and care. Hardscape (pavers, walls, decking) carries a two-year structural warranty. Irrigation systems we install include a one-year parts-and-labor warranty on every component. The full warranty terms are written on the back of every estimate, so there are no surprises after the work is done.
Are your crews bilingual?
Yes. Field crews speak English and Spanish on every account, and the lead foreman on every team is fluent in both. Office staff, written estimates, and electronic billing are English-first. For HOA boards or property managers who need bilingual homeowner notices, we can issue on-site project signage in both languages on request — usually a same-day turnaround during the project window.
