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

WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE A LICENSED CONTRACTOR WHEN AN UNLICENSED ONE MAY BE CHEAPER?

There is always a price. Working with a licensed contractor is highly recommended for many reasons: A licensed and insured contractor offers many protections to the property owner, especially regarding residential properties. A contractor cannot obtain a State Contractors License without first possessing a minimum amount of experience. In addition, the contractor must pass a business management test. The applicant also may be subject to a criminal history background check, and must not have any unresolved contracting complaints outstanding. Here in California, if a contractor has employees, they're required to carry workers compensation insurance. The importance of this alone cannot be overstated. If a worker is injured on your property and the contractor doesn't have insurance, you could be legally liable to pay for injuries and rehabilitation. Your homeowner's insurance may not cover those costs
