Why Choose Us
Decorative Landscaping for Iconic Exteriors
Decorative landscaping requires more than planting and hardscape installation. It requires coordination, grading discipline, material knowledge, and construction sequencing.
KOM approaches landscaping as a construction scope, not a cosmetic one. Our crews coordinate site preparation, drainage, structural elements, and finish work so the landscape functions as intended from day one.
What sets our work apart:
What We Do
Decorative Landscaping Services
Our decorative landscaping services are delivered as integrated packages, not fragmented tasks. Each scope is planned around site conditions, usage patterns, and long-term maintenance needs.
Hardscape Construction
Installation of patios, walkways, retaining walls, seat walls, steps, and decorative masonry. All hardscape is built on properly prepared subgrades with drainage and structural stability accounted for.
Softscape and Planting
Plant selection and installation based on climate, irrigation strategy, sun exposure, and long-term growth. We focus on plant health, spacing, and sustainability rather than short-term appearance.
Outdoor Living Features
Construction of fire pits, built-in seating, outdoor kitchens, shade structures, and decorative features designed to integrate with surrounding hardscape and landscape elements.
Irrigation and Drainage
Installation and modification of irrigation systems, drainage solutions, and water management features to protect both landscape and structures. Proper grading and runoff control are addressed early in the process.
Decorative Enhancements
Landscape lighting, accent features, decorative stone, and exterior finishes that enhance usability and nighttime visibility without overcomplicating maintenance.
Our Process
Our Decorative Landscaping Process
Our process is structured to reduce rework, delays, and change orders while keeping the site organized and predictable.
Site Evaluation and Scope Definition
We assess grading, drainage, access, existing utilities, and integration points. The scope is defined around constructability, not assumptions.
Design Coordination and Material Planning
Layouts, materials, and finishes are aligned with site conditions, budget, and maintenance expectations. Selections are confirmed before mobilization.
Site Preparation and Base Work
Excavation, grading, subgrade preparation, drainage, and utility coordination are completed before surface work begins.
Installation and Construction
Hardscape, softscape, and decorative features are installed in sequence to avoid conflicts and protect completed work.
Final Walkthrough and Handover
We review drainage performance, finishes, and installation quality before project closeout.
Yes. Demolition projects involving regulated materials such as asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint, or other hazardous substances require specialized handling under California regulations. KOM Construction maintains the appropriate CSLB Hazardous Substance Removal (HAZ) classification and coordinates hazardous material removal and abatement in full compliance with state and local requirements
Drainage is evaluated before design finalization. Slopes, soil conditions, runoff paths, and existing systems are reviewed. Irrigation is designed for plant type, sun exposure, and water efficiency, with zoning and controls sized for long-term performance.
Yes. Hillside and terraced landscapes require retaining systems, erosion control, proper planting, and access planning. Work is engineered to manage load, water flow, and long-term stability while maintaining visual consistency.
Materials are selected based on use, exposure, and lifespan. This includes concrete, natural stone, pavers, masonry block, metal features, wood structures, and drought-tolerant plantings. Selection prioritizes durability, drainage compatibility, and maintenance requirements.
Work is sequenced by trade and dependency. Site prep, underground utilities, hardscape, planting, and finish elements are scheduled in defined phases. This prevents trade overlap and delays caused by rework or access conflicts.
