Landscape Construction: What to Expect (Timeline & Process Explained)

by BuildCal Landscape / 09/10/2025 / Landscape Construction

Landscape construction represents the exciting phase where designs transform into tangible outdoor spaces that enhance your property's beauty, functionality, and value. At BuildCal, we've refined our construction process through years of experience across Southern California's diverse properties. Our phased approach ensures every aspect of your project receives proper attention while maintaining efficiency and quality throughout the transformation journey.

Phase 1: Pre-Construction Preparation

Before any physical work begins, your landscape construction team completes essential preparatory steps. This includes final design approvals, material selection confirmation, and obtaining necessary permits. For more on our design services, visit our services page.

Phase 2: Site Preparation and Demolition

The physical landscape construction begins with site preparation, which involves clearing existing vegetation and establishing proper grading. This phase transforms your property into a blank canvas ready for new installation. Learn about our site preparation techniques.

Phase 3: Hardscape Installation

Hardscape installation forms the structural backbone of your landscape construction project. This phase requires the most time and specialized skills, as precision ensures beauty and longevity. Explore our hardscaping capabilities.

Phase 4: Irrigation and Lighting Installation

Modern landscape construction includes installing systems that maintain and enhance your outdoor environment. Professional irrigation installation requires technical expertise for optimal performance. Discover our smart irrigation solutions.

Phase 5: Planting and Softscape Installation

The planting phase transforms your landscape construction from structural framework to living environment. This requires horticultural knowledge and an artistic eye for plant placement. View our planting techniques.

Phase 6: Final Details and Project Completion

The final phase involves adding details that elevate good projects to exceptional ones. We consider the project complete only when you're completely satisfied. Contact us to learn more about our completion process.

Frequently Asked Question

CAN YOU GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR MY PROJECT DURING THE INITIAL CONSULTATION?

No, Too often a landscape contractor will come to a site and immediately give a potential client a price without first knowing all the details of that project. Our first question is always, “What is this estimate based on?” Before making out a bid of any sort, we must first discuss all the work to be done, the planting and construction materials necessary, and the labor involved. After which we do a breakdown and present to you a complete and itemized preliminary estimate. As our client you will be able to see, not only how much your project will cost, but also where every dollar will go.
