Why Visit BuildCal at the Pasadena Home Show?

BuildCal's participation in the Pasadena Fall Home Show offers homeowners unprecedented access to our design expertise, portfolio of completed projects, and exclusive show-only offers. Here's what makes visiting our booth a must-do during your home show experience.

Meet Our ASLA-Certified Designers

At the show, you'll have the opportunity to speak directly with our senior designers, ask questions about your specific property challenges, and receive professional recommendations based on 14 years of experience in Southern California outdoor design.

Unlike brief phone consultations or email exchanges, face-to-face meetings at the home show allow for deeper conversations about your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget considerations. Our designers will be available throughout both days to provide personalized guidance.

I Have a Small Yard… What Works for Me?

Great question! This is one of the most common concerns we hear from Pasadena and Los Angeles area homeowners, and it's exactly the type of challenge BuildCal excels at solving.

We design compact, low-maintenance yards with easy pathways, drought-tolerant plants, and soft lighting that creates a calm, welcoming feel. You won't need to mow every week.

Small-Space Design Strategies

Vertical Elements: When horizontal space is limited, we design upward with vertical gardens, climbing plants on trellises, and multi-level planting beds that create visual interest without consuming valuable square footage.

Multi-Functional Features: Every element serves multiple purposes. A low retaining wall becomes built-in seating. A pergola provides shade while defining an outdoor room. Raised planters create privacy while adding growing space.

Strategic Plant Selection: We choose plants based on mature size, ensuring they fit the space long-term without constant pruning. Dwarf varieties, compact shrubs, and ornamental grasses provide beauty without overwhelming small yards.

Light Colors and Reflective Surfaces: Light-colored pavers, walls, and plants make small spaces feel larger and brighter. Strategic use of mirrors or reflective water features can visually expand the space.

Defined Zones: Even in small yards, creating distinct zones—a seating area, a planting bed, a pathway—makes the space feel organized and intentional rather than cramped.

Visit our booth at the Pasadena Home Show with photos and measurements of your small yard, and our designers will show you how to maximize every square foot.

My Yard Is Old and Messy… Can You Fix It?

Absolutely! We specialize in reviving neglected yards—we remove weeds, rebuild paths, add new plants, and install smart irrigation. We turn a "jungle of weeds" into a peaceful retreat.

Yard Renovation Process

Assessment: We evaluate your existing yard to determine what can be saved and what should be removed. Sometimes mature trees and established plants can be incorporated into a new design, saving money and preserving character.

Cleanup and Removal: We remove overgrown vegetation, dead plants, broken hardscaping, and accumulated debris. This creates a clean slate for the new design.

Soil Improvement: Years of neglect often result in compacted, depleted soil. We amend soil with organic matter, improve drainage, and create optimal growing conditions for new plants.

Infrastructure Installation: We install or upgrade irrigation systems, add proper drainage, and create hardscaping elements that provide structure and functionality.

Planting and Finishing: We install new plants selected for your climate, sun exposure, and maintenance preferences, then add mulch, edging, and finishing touches.

Maintenance Plan: We provide guidance on maintaining your revived yard or offer ongoing maintenance services to ensure it stays beautiful.

Many of our most dramatic transformations involve neglected properties. At the Pasadena Home Show, we'll have before-and-after photos of yard renovations that demonstrate what's possible even with the most challenging starting points.

Can You Install Outdoor Lighting?

Yes! We design lighting that highlights your favorite features—whether it's your entrance, pool, or favorite tree. The lights are gentle, safe, and energy-efficient.

Outdoor Lighting Benefits

Safety and Security: Well-lit pathways, steps, and entrances prevent trips and falls while deterring intruders. Motion-activated lights provide additional security without wasting energy.

Extended Usability: Outdoor lighting allows you to enjoy your outdoor spaces after sunset, effectively extending the usable hours of your investment.

Aesthetic Enhancement: Strategic lighting transforms your landscape at night, highlighting architectural features, creating dramatic shadows, and showcasing specimen plants and water features.

Property Value: Professional outdoor lighting increases curb appeal and property value, making it one of the highest-return outdoor improvements.

Energy Efficiency: Modern LED outdoor lighting uses a fraction of the energy of traditional bulbs, with some fixtures using as little as 3-5 watts while providing excellent illumination.

Lighting Design Approach

BuildCal takes a layered approach to outdoor lighting design:

Task Lighting: Illuminates specific areas for functionality—pathways, steps, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas.

Accent Lighting: Highlights focal points like specimen trees, architectural features, water features, and art.

Ambient Lighting: Provides overall illumination for safety and atmosphere without harsh brightness.

Safety Lighting: Ensures all potential hazards—steps, level changes, pool edges—are clearly visible.

At our Pasadena Home Show booth, we'll have lighting design examples and can discuss how professional lighting would enhance your specific property.

I Want Pathways or an Outdoor Patio… What Are My Options?

Yes! We build walkways from natural stone and patios from heat-resistant pavers—all crafted by skilled hands, built to last without cracks or damage.

Paver and Stone Options

Natural Stone:

•Flagstone: Irregular shapes create organic, natural appearance

•Slate: Smooth surface with rich colors and textures

•Travertine: Limestone that stays cool underfoot, ideal for pool decks

•Bluestone: Durable with classic blue-gray color

•Cost: $25-$60+ per square foot installed

Concrete Pavers:

•Standard pavers: Wide variety of colors, shapes, and patterns

•Permeable pavers: Allow water infiltration, reducing runoff

•Tumbled pavers: Aged appearance for Old World charm

•Cost: $15-$35 per square foot installed

Stamped Concrete:

•Mimics appearance of stone, brick, or tile

•Cost-effective alternative to natural materials

•Wide variety of patterns and colors

•Cost: $12-$25 per square foot installed

Why Choose BuildCal for Hardscaping?

Proper Base Preparation: The longevity of any patio or pathway depends on proper base preparation. We excavate to appropriate depth, install compacted base material, and ensure proper drainage to prevent settling and cracking.

California Climate Expertise: We select materials that withstand Southern California's intense sun, occasional heavy rains, and seismic activity. Heat-resistant pavers won't become uncomfortably hot, and flexible paver systems accommodate ground movement better than rigid concrete.

Skilled Installation: Our technicians have years of experience creating level surfaces, precise cuts, and professional-quality installations that look beautiful and last decades.

Integrated Design: We design hardscaping that complements your home's architecture, coordinates with landscaping, and creates cohesive outdoor living spaces.

Visit our booth at the Pasadena Home Show to see material samples, discuss design options, and receive a preliminary estimate for your patio or pathway project.

What Makes BuildCal Different from Other Landscape Companies?

We don't just plant trees. We design a space where you can sit with your family, drink coffee, and relax. Every project starts with a personal meeting—we listen to you, see your space, and understand how you want to live in it.

What NO ONE ELSE in Pasadena and Los Angeles Offers

Free, No-Pressure Personal Meeting: We visit your property, assess your space, discuss your vision, and provide honest feedback about what's possible within your budget. We don't push unnecessary features—we design solutions that work for you. At the home show, you can schedule this consultation and receive priority booking.

Custom Designs for Each Property: No copied templates. Every BuildCal project is designed specifically for your property's size, slope, sun exposure, soil conditions, and architectural style. We create landscapes that look like they belong, not like they were dropped in from a catalog.

California-Specific Expertise: We understand Southern California's Mediterranean climate, water restrictions, native plants, and local building codes. Our designs incorporate drought-tolerant landscaping, water-saving features, and materials that withstand California's intense sun and occasional earthquakes.

Certified Professionals: Our team includes designers and technicians certified by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)—we don't just have experience, we have credentials that demonstrate our expertise and commitment to professional standards.

Documented Results: Every project we complete is documented with before-and-after photos. We're proud of our work and want you to see the transformation. Our portfolio demonstrates consistent quality across hundreds of projects.

Integrated Approach: We don't just provide one service. BuildCal offers complete outdoor living solutions—landscape design, hardscaping, irrigation, lighting, pool integration, and ongoing maintenance. This integrated approach ensures all elements work together harmoniously.

Guarantee on All Work: We don't just build and walk away. Our installations are backed by workmanship guarantees—if something isn't right, we fix it. We're invested in your long-term satisfaction, not just completing the project.

Long-Term Relationship: We're not a one-time contractor. Many clients return to us for additional projects, seasonal maintenance, or simply advice. We build relationships, not just landscapes.

Local Presence: We've been serving Glendale, CA and surrounding neighborhoods including Pasadena for over 14 years. We're not a national chain—we're your local outdoor living experts with deep roots in the community.

Frequently Asked Questions About BuildCal at Pasadena Home Show

Do I need an appointment to speak with BuildCal at the show?

No appointment necessary! Our team will be available throughout both days of the show on a first-come, first-served basis. However, arriving early (especially Saturday morning) typically means shorter wait times and more personalized attention.

How long does a consultation at the show take?

Initial consultations typically take 15-30 minutes, depending on the complexity of your project and the number of questions you have. For more detailed discussions, we can schedule follow-up appointments at your property.

Will I receive a cost estimate at the show?

We can provide general cost ranges and ballpark estimates based on your description and photos. Detailed, accurate estimates require an on-site visit to assess your specific property conditions, but show consultations give you a good understanding of investment levels.
