drought-tolerant landscaping in a Burbank California backyard

Burbank Landscaping Co

Water-wise yards built for Burbank's climate

Landscaping Services in Burbank, CA

Is your yard fighting a losing battle against Burbank's dry summers and thirsty plants from decades ago? Burbank Landscaping Co designs and installs water-wise landscapes for local homeowners, turning tired, overgrown yards into low-maintenance outdoor spaces built to handle Southern California heat and water restrictions.

We handle every part of the job, from the first sketch to the final walk-through. Our crews design and install drought-tolerant landscapes, repair and upgrade irrigation systems, lay new sod, install artificial turf, and keep lawns healthy through regular maintenance. Whether you want a full yard renovation or just need your sprinklers fixed before summer, we show up on time, explain your options in plain language, and leave the site clean when we're done.

Burbank sits in the San Fernando Valley, which means hot, dry summers and mild winters most of the year. Many homes here were built decades ago, and their landscaping shows it: cracked sprinkler lines, patchy lawns that never fully recovered from past droughts, and plant beds that have outgrown their space. Whether your property sits on a flat lot near downtown or climbs one of the hillside neighborhoods near the Verdugo Mountains, we plan every project around how your specific yard drains, catches shade, and holds heat.

Hillside lots near the Verdugo Mountains bring their own challenges. Loose soil and steep grades mean erosion control matters as much as which plants you choose, and a design that looks great on a flat lot in Toluca Lake might wash out after the first heavy winter rain on a slope. We check drainage and grading before we ever talk about plants, so your new landscaping actually holds up instead of sliding downhill after the first storm.

Water is the biggest factor in how a local yard looks and how much it costs to keep it that way. The city has pushed homeowners toward shorter watering schedules and smarter irrigation for years, and a lawn that needed weekly watering in 1995 just isn't practical today. We design with that reality in mind: native and Mediterranean plants that thrive on less water, drip irrigation instead of spray heads where it makes sense, and turf replacement for yards that are more brown than green most of the year. Many homeowners can also qualify for local turf-removal rebates, and we're happy to walk you through what's currently available.

Beyond Burbank, we also serve homeowners in Glendale, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Studio City, and the surrounding San Fernando Valley communities. If you're not sure whether your address falls inside our service area, just give us a call and we'll let you know.

You don't need a disaster of a yard to call us. Some homeowners reach out because their sprinkler system leaks every time it runs. Others are tired of mowing a lawn that never looks as good as the neighbor's, or they're getting ready to sell and want the yard to make a strong first impression. When you call, we'll ask a few questions about your property and schedule a time to walk the site with you in person. We measure, take photos, listen to what you want, and follow up with a written estimate, no pressure and no guesswork.

A new landscape is only half the job. Even drought-tolerant plants need some care while they establish roots, and irrigation systems drift out of adjustment over time as valves wear and pipes shift with the ground. We offer maintenance plans for the properties we install, so the yard still looks the way it did on day one two or three years later, not overgrown in some spots and bare in others.

Drought-Tolerant Landscaping & Turf Removal

We replace thirsty lawns with native and Mediterranean plants, decomposed granite, and other water-wise materials suited to our hot, dry climate. This approach cuts your water bill and your maintenance time, and many projects qualify for local turf-removal rebates. We'll help you figure out what's eligible before work begins. Most homeowners see a noticeable drop in their water bill within the first couple of billing cycles after installation.

artificial turf installation in a Burbank California backyard

Artificial Turf Installation

Synthetic turf gives you a green, low-maintenance lawn without the watering, mowing, or brown patches that come with a real one in our dry climate. We install pet-friendly and family-friendly turf products with proper base prep and drainage, so it holds up for years. It's a popular choice for side yards, small lots, and high-traffic areas where grass struggles to grow. We also install proper edging and infill so the turf stays flat and doesn't shift over time.

Sprinkler & Irrigation Repair

A leaking valve or a broken sprinkler head wastes water and money every time your system runs. We repair and upgrade irrigation systems, install smart controllers that adjust to the weather, and convert spray zones to drip irrigation where it makes sense. Most repairs are diagnosed and fixed the same day. If your system is more than fifteen years old, it's often cheaper to upgrade key components now than to keep patching leaks one at a time.

Sod Installation

When artificial turf isn't the right fit, we install fresh sod to give you an instant, even lawn instead of waiting months for seed to fill in. We prepare the soil properly first, since a lawn is only as good as what's underneath it. This service works well for new construction, bare patches, or a full lawn replacement. We can also match sod varieties to how much sun or shade your yard actually gets.

Lawn Care & Maintenance

Regular mowing, edging, fertilization, and seasonal cleanup keep your yard looking sharp year-round. We also handle basic tree and shrub trimming so your landscaping stays healthy and doesn't outgrow its space. Ask about a recurring maintenance schedule if you'd rather not think about your yard at all. We adjust our visit schedule seasonally, since local lawns need different care in the summer heat than they do in the cooler winter months.

Why Burbank Homeowners Choose Us

Locally Owned and Operated

We're based right here in the San Fernando Valley, not a call center in another state. When you call, you're talking to someone who actually knows the local soil, water rules, and neighborhoods. We've watched this valley's water rules change over the years, and we build that experience into every recommendation we make.

Free, No-Pressure Estimates

Every estimate includes an in-person site visit, a written quote, and honest advice, even if that means telling you a smaller project will get you the same result. There's no obligation to move forward. We'd rather lose a sale than talk you into something your yard doesn't need.

Fast Response Times

We aim to return every call within one business day and get most sprinkler repairs scheduled within 48 hours, since a broken irrigation system can waste hundreds of gallons of water while it sits unfixed. You won't spend a week chasing us down for a callback.

Built for Our Climate

Every design and material recommendation accounts for our hot, dry summers and local water restrictions, not a one-size-fits-all approach borrowed from a wetter climate. That means fewer surprises, less wasted water, and a yard that actually holds up through August.
