A beautifully executed outdoor project increases both the livability and the resale value of your Los Angeles property. EC Construction Group provides full-scope landscaping and hardscaping services throughout Woodland Hills, Hidden Hills, Calabasas, Encino, Santa Clarita, and the full LA Metro.

Our landscaping services include full yard design, grading and drainage, artificial turf and sod installation, drought-tolerant and California native plantings, irrigation systems, landscape lighting, and retaining walls. We integrate LADWP water rebate programs where applicable.

On the hardscaping side, we build concrete and paver patios (travertine, porcelain, concrete), driveways, walkways, steps, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and pergolas — using materials engineered for the Southern California climate.

Every project begins with a site analysis and custom design plan. We coordinate landscaping and hardscaping together for a fully unified outdoor transformation, all managed by a single licensed contractor from design to completion.
