Plan the real one

We design, build and care for the land around Los Angeles' most private homes, so the outdoors feels as considered as the rooms inside.

Blackrock is one studio of landscape designers, builders, pool specialists and gardeners. A single project lead stays with you from the first walk of the property to the season the garden comes into its own.

We work on a small number of estates at a time, which is how the details stay right.

Fully licensed and bonded

No deposits. You pay once the work is finished and you have walked it with us. Questions? Call (424) 278-3084.

  • One team, start to finish

    Design, stonework, pools, planting and lighting under one roof, with one person who answers your call.

  • Discretion as standard

    Uniformed crews, quiet and tidy sites, and no photographs of your home without your permission.

  • Care that continues

    The day we finish is the day the garden starts growing in. We stay on to look after it.

Everything beyond the front door.

Six disciplines, one studio. Most estates bring us in for several at once, so the pool, the stone and the planting read as one design.

You'll know us by the vans.

Every Blackrock crew arrives in a marked vehicle, in uniform, at the time we agreed. Gate codes and keys stay with your project lead, and the site is left cleaner than we found it.

How a project unfolds.

  1. 01Walk the property

    We meet you on site, listen to how you live and entertain, and study the light, soil, drainage and views before anything is drawn.

  2. 02Design

    Plans, 3D renderings, plant palettes and stone samples, refined with you until every detail is settled. You approve a fixed scope before we build.

  3. 03Build

    Our own crews handle grading, stone, pools, planting and lighting under one project lead, who sends you a progress update every week.

  4. 04Care

    Weekly gardening, pool service and seasonal planting keep the property as it looked the day we finished, and better as it matures.

Every project starts with a conversation.

Our clients rarely appear in magazines. They prefer it that way.

A private portfolio and references are shared in person, during your consultation. To arrange one, call (424) 278-3084.

Questions, answered.

Anything else, ask us directly. A project lead answers the phone.

(424) 278-3084 info@blackrocklandscape.us
Are you licensed and bonded?

Yes. Blackrock Landscape is fully licensed and bonded in California. Licence and bond details are listed in your written agreement, and we're happy to share them at the first visit.

When do I pay?

When the project is complete. We don't ask for a deposit or payments up front. After the final walkthrough, once every item is finished as agreed and you're satisfied, we send the invoice. Estate care is billed monthly, after the visits have been made.

What happens at the first visit?

Your project lead walks the property with you, listens to how you use it, and looks at light, soil, drainage and views. You then receive a written proposal with the scope, timeline and price. Nothing begins until you approve it in writing.

Which areas do you serve?

Private homes across Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Santa Monica, Hidden Hills, Calabasas and Westlake Village. If you're nearby and not on the list, call us and ask.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope. A planting refresh can take days; a full estate with a new pool can take several months. Your proposal includes a schedule, and your project lead sends a progress update every week.

Do I need to be home while you work?

No. Gate codes and keys stay with your project lead, crews arrive in uniform in marked vans at the agreed time, and the site is cleaned at the end of every day.

Do you look after the garden afterwards?

Yes. Our estate care plans cover weekly gardening, pool service, irrigation checks and seasonal planting, by a crew that already knows your property.

What if something isn't right?

Tell us at the final walkthrough and we fix it before you're invoiced. If an issue appears later, call us and we'll come and look. The details are in our return and satisfaction policy.

Tell us about the property.

Choose a day that suits you and we'll arrange a visit. A project lead will call to confirm the time and ask a few questions first.

Terms and conditions

Last updated September 2026

These terms apply to landscape design, construction, pool, lighting and estate care services provided by Blackrock Landscape ("we", "us") to you, the property owner. Your signed written agreement for each project sets out the specific scope and price, and takes priority over these general terms where they differ.

Licensing

Blackrock Landscape is fully licensed and bonded in the State of California. Our licence number and bond details are stated in every written agreement and are available on request. You can verify any contractor licence with the Contractors State License Board at cslb.ca.gov.

Consultations and proposals

After the site visit we provide a written proposal describing the work, materials, schedule and price. A proposal is valid for 30 days unless it states otherwise, because the cost of plants, stone and equipment changes. Work begins only after you approve the proposal and sign a written agreement.

Payment

We take payment after the project is completed. We do not require a deposit or progress payments. When the work is finished, we walk the property with you, complete any items on the final punch list, and then issue our invoice. The invoice is due on receipt unless your agreement states different terms.

For large projects you may choose to divide the work into separately agreed phases. In that case each phase is invoiced when that phase is complete. Estate care and maintenance are invoiced monthly, after the services for that month have been performed.

Changes to the work

If you would like to add, remove or change anything once work has started, we will describe the change and its effect on price and schedule in a written change order. We proceed with the change after you sign it. We do not carry out paid extra work on a verbal request.

Schedule

We commit to the schedule in your agreement and keep you informed with weekly updates. Dates may move because of weather, inspections, permit timing, utility companies or the availability of special-order materials. We will tell you as soon as we know of any delay and agree a revised plan with you.

Your property and access

You agree to give our crews access to the work areas at the agreed times, along with water and electricity for the work. Please tell us in advance about private underground lines that public utility marking does not cover, such as irrigation, low-voltage lighting, gas to fire features, or drainage, and about pets on the property. Before any digging we contact DigAlert to mark public utilities.

Gate codes, keys and alarm details are held only by your project lead and are returned or deleted when the project ends.

Permits and approvals

Your agreement states which permits, inspections or homeowner association approvals the project needs and who is responsible for each. Where we obtain permits on your behalf, their fees are listed in the agreement.

Plants and natural materials

Plants, stone and wood are natural materials. Colour, veining, size and form vary from samples and photographs, and plants grow and change with the seasons. These natural variations are not defects. Plant health after completion depends on watering and care; we provide written care instructions, or our estate care team can look after the garden for you.

Workmanship and warranty

We stand behind our work. The warranty periods for workmanship, equipment and plants are stated in your written agreement, and manufacturers' warranties on pool equipment, lighting and irrigation controllers are passed on to you. How we handle any issue is described in our return policy.

Your right to cancel

Under California law, if you sign a home improvement contract you may have the right to cancel it within three business days of signing, and the notice of that right will be included with your agreement. Cancellation after that period is described in our return policy.

Privacy and photography

We never photograph your home for publicity, share your address, or name you as a client without your written permission. Photos taken during the project for planning and progress reports are shared only with you and our team. Information you send through this website is used only to arrange and carry out your project.

Responsibility

We take care to protect your home, driveways, lawns and existing planting during the work, and we repair any damage we cause. We are not responsible for conditions we could not reasonably have known about, such as hidden structural, soil or plumbing problems, but we will tell you as soon as we find them and agree the next step in writing before continuing.

Disagreements

If something concerns you, please tell your project lead or call us first; most questions are resolved in a single conversation on site. These terms and your agreement are governed by the laws of the State of California.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in effect on the date you sign your agreement applies to your project.

Questions about this policy? We're glad to explain anything before you sign.

(424) 278-3084 info@blackrocklandscape.us

Return policy

Last updated September 2026

Landscape work is built into your property, so it cannot be returned like a product. This policy explains how we make sure you are satisfied, what happens if something is not right, and how cancellations and special-order materials are handled.

You pay after the work is complete

We take payment only after the project is completed. We do not ask for a deposit or for payment in advance, so you never pay for work that has not been done. Before we send our invoice, we walk the property with you so you can see every part of the finished work.

Final walkthrough and punch list

Anything that is not finished as agreed in your written agreement goes on a punch list during the walkthrough. We complete every item on that list at no additional cost before the project is invoiced.

Issues after completion

If a workmanship issue appears after completion, call or email us and we will arrange an inspection promptly. If the cause is our workmanship and it falls within the warranty period in your agreement, we repair or replace it at no charge. Equipment such as pumps, heaters, controllers and light fixtures is also covered by the manufacturer's warranty, which we help you claim.

Plants

If a plant we installed declines within the plant warranty period stated in your agreement, we inspect it and replace it where the cause is the plant or our installation. The plant warranty does not cover losses caused by frost, heat waves, fire, flooding, pests, animals, watering restrictions, or changes made to irrigation or care after completion. Gardens on our estate care plan are monitored on every visit.

Special-order materials

Some items are ordered or made specifically for your project after you approve them, such as cut and custom stone, specimen trees, pool equipment and light fixtures. Suppliers do not accept these back. If you cancel or remove them from the project after they have been ordered at your written request, you pay their cost and any supplier restocking or cancellation fee. Unused standard materials are never charged to you.

Cancellations

You may cancel within three business days of signing your agreement, as provided by California law, with nothing to pay. After that, you may cancel before work begins and pay only for special-order materials already ordered at your written request. If you cancel once work is under way, you pay only for the work completed up to that date and for those special-order materials.

Estate care plans

Estate care is billed monthly, after the month's visits have been made. You may pause or cancel at any time by letting us know before your next scheduled visit, and you are never charged for visits that did not take place.

Refunds

Because we invoice after completion, refunds are rarely needed. If you have paid and a problem that is our responsibility cannot be corrected, we will agree a fair refund or credit with you for the affected part of the work.

How to make a request

Call us on (424) 278-3084 or email info@blackrocklandscape.us with your address and a short description, and photos if you can. Your project lead will respond and arrange a visit.
