Landscape Installation & Yard Remodel project guide

Plan new landscapes, full-yard transformations, and coordinated outdoor upgrades with a clearly defined C-27 project scope. Installation projects often combine planting, irrigation, grading, turf, and hardscape, so a clear scope makes comparisons easier.

Define the work

Build a clearer yard installation request

Start with the outcome, affected area, approximate size, existing conditions, timing, and budget range. Photos and measurements can make the first contractor conversation more useful.

How the C-27 directory fits

Landscape Genie uses the project ZIP to rank public C-27 records. A classification is not a specialty claim, so ask each business whether it performs this exact scope, serves your property, and has availability.

Planning questions

Yard installation FAQs

Use these answers to prepare—not as a substitute for a site visit, written proposal, or current license verification.

What is included in a landscape installation?+

The scope can include site preparation, soil work, planting, irrigation, lawn or turf, drainage, and landscape-related hardscape. Your proposal should state inclusions and exclusions.

How do I compare landscape installation bids?+

Compare the same plans, materials, plant sizes, quantities, warranty terms, schedule, cleanup, and permit responsibilities—not only the total price.

How are contractor records matched to my project?+

Your exact project ZIP is prioritized first. The list then expands by approximate straight-line distance between California ZIP centers until it reaches 22 searchable records.
