Landscaping Is Personal

If your home is made to reflect who you are, your landscape is the first impression. So, naturally, you want that impression to be excellent and accurate.

Ideally, like a smile, it will be welcoming and personal. And hopefully, it will also be unique.

At M1, we want to help you make your landscape be as “you” as your face is. So what do you like? What do you want? And how can we help?

Basic Landscaping Considerations

When thinking about how you want your yard to look, there are three things you want to consider: Function, Aesthetic, and Maintenance. We want to help you landscape your home in a way that will suit all of those needs.

Functionality

How do you want to use your yard? Is it just for show? Is it where you want to spend most of your time during parts of the year?

How we landscape your home will vary depending on your goals. Some people just want an enormous green expanse. Some folks like to eat what they grow. Here in California, where the weather ranges from pleasant to amazing, outdoor living can majorly factor into our landscape design.

Whether you want a playground, a patio, a big lawn, or some combination, M1 has got you covered.

Aesthetic Appeal

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no one will behold your yard as much as you do. So what do you find beautiful? We can make your yard as complex or simple as you desire.

With hardscaping, sod installation, flower beds, and maintenance, your landscape can be as beautiful and unique as you are.

Maintenance

Finally, we need to consider maintenance. How many hours do you want to put into your yard?

A lawn needs mowing. Trees need pruning. Garden beds need mulching. We do it all. Or we can help you if you’re more hands-on.

Landscape Components: The Green, the Sod, and the Concrete

With those detailed considerations in mind, you can now pick what you want your landscape to include. Of course, when we say landscaping, you probably think about greenery and flowers, but landscaping can also include hardscaping, stones, and functional components you don’t see.

We have a range of services that we can offer you.

Seeing What’s Already There

You love your home. That’s why you live there. So even if you want to make some property improvements, there is still something you love about your property.

Whether it’s the redwoods in the distance, a hand-built pagoda, or your flower garden, your property likely already has some beautiful attributes. We want to ensure they don’t get covered up!

We work with your existing natural and manufactured structures when designing your dream landscape. And with your landscape installation, we’ll consider the already gorgeous focal points and enhance rather than distract from them.

Sod Installation and Lawn Care

Lawns are ubiquitous. Nearly everyone has one. But it can be a chore to maintain them.

Whether you have spots that need sod replaced or everything looks perfect, your lawn will need maintenance. We fertilize, aerate, and mow as needed. Want to get on the schedule?

Irrigation

As little as it rains in LA county, it can be challenging to keep our greenery green. To do so, you need a well thought out irrigation plan.

We take your drainage and grading into account when we install your irrigation system for your lawn or garden. Whether you need sprinklers, drip irrigation, or some combination, M1 will ensure that your irrigation system suits your needs.

Tree Services

Trees add height and vertical interest to your landscape. They can also be stunning and produce fruit for your family. And let’s not forget treehouses, tire swings, and the joy of climbing!

But like everything living, trees need the care to thrive. We know what trees and shrubs will grow best, where, and how to take good care of them once planted.

Tree care includes making sure they get the proper water and nutrients. It also includes mulching and pruning.

Did you know that improper pruning doesn’t just look bad but can damage tree health? After all, every tree has different needs at different times, and we understand how to fulfill them.

Outdoor Living Spaces

The best room in the house might not be in the house at all. Your outdoor living space can rival the living and dining rooms for a great gathering with friends. And the

opportunities to personalize that patio are nearly infinite.

M1 offers hardscaping services that will make your outdoors as unique as your indoors. For example, we can pour concrete to create patios and walkways and create retaining walls to showcase your garden beds.

Stone, rocks, and concrete combine to create the perfect outdoor room. And whether you are looking for beauty or function, we have you covered.

One of the most popular outdoor features is the firepit. Firepits are a lovely focal point for any patio and make for a great gathering spot. You can use fire pits for cooking or just for their beauty.

You just need to figure out the size and function of your pit and whether you’d prefer it to be a wood or propane-burning firepit.

Landscape Lighting

Finally, if you turn your backyard into a gathering spot, you will want people to see each other and what they’re doing. M1 also provides landscape lighting.

The benefits of lighting your landscape are more than just aesthetic. While they certainly add curb appeal and make outdoor gatherings more enjoyable, landscape lighting also adds a safety feature to your home.

A well-lit yard makes accidents less likely because you and your guests can see where they are going. Light can also be a good deterrent for any criminal mischief.

As you can see, M1 is full service. We take you through design into installation and then provide maintenance. Whether simple or ornate, we look forward to helping you make your landscape dreams come true and keep them dreamy for years to come.
