Service
ESR turns thirsty lawns into drought-tolerant California gardens and full yard makeovers, with drip Irrigation, Lighting and help with water rebates.
A well-planned yard looks better, uses a fraction of the water and costs less to maintain. We remove the lawn, rebuild Irrigation as drip, and plant native and low-water species that thrive here.
Many Los Angeles customers qualify for turf-replacement rebates. They must be approved before the lawn comes out, so we help you apply first.

Every job is different, so your final price is set in a written estimate after a site visit, once ESR has seen the job and confirmed the full scope. Permit and plan-check fees are passed through at cost. Hidden conditions (dry rot, old wiring or Plumbing, hazardous materials) are priced separately. As California law requires, a down payment is never more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less.
