Transform Your Backyard into an Entertainment Oasis

Your backyard shouldn’t just be a patch of grass — it should be a destination. A place where friends gather, families laugh, and memories are made under the stars. Whether you’re dreaming of cozy fire pits, elegant patios, or serene lighting pathways, turning your yard into a backyard oasis is more than a renovation — it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
At BuildCal, we’ve been designing outdoor spaces since 2010 — over 14 years of hands-on work right here in Glendale and surrounding neighborhoods. We don’t follow generic plans. We create custom landscape design solutions that reflect how you live, entertain, and relax.
And because every member of our team includes designers and technicians certified by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) — License #ASLA-CA-2024-887, you can trust that your project meets the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
We use trusted local materials — like California-native stone and drought-resistant plants — so your yard lasts longer and needs less maintenance.
I Have a Small Yard… What Works for Me?
We design compact, low-maintenance yards with easy pathways, drought-tolerant plants, and soft outdoor lighting that creates a calm, welcoming feel. You won’t need to mow every week — just enjoy your space.
Even in tight areas, we maximize functionality and beauty using vertical gardens, built-in seating, and multi-purpose zones perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks.
Our approach? Start small, think big.
My Yard Is Old and Messy… Can You Fix It?
Yes. We specialize in reviving neglected yards — we remove weeds, rebuild paths, add new plants, and install smart irrigation systems. We turn a “jungle of weeds” into a peaceful retreat.
Many homeowners in Glendale, CA come to us with overgrown lawns, broken pavers, or outdated layouts. With a clear vision and skilled craftsmanship, we restore balance, flow, and purpose to your outdoor environment.
You’ll get before-and-after photos of your transformation — proof of what’s possible when passion meets precision.
Can You Install Outdoor Lighting?
Yes. We design outdoor lighting that highlights your favorite features — whether it’s your entrance, pool, or favorite tree. The lights are gentle, safe, and energy-efficient.
From subtle path markers to dramatic accent lighting on walls and trees, we create ambiance that extends your living space into the night.
Every fixture is placed intentionally — no glare, no waste, only beauty and safety.
I Want Pathways or an Outdoor Patio?
Yes. We build walkways from natural hardscaping stone and patios from heat-resistant pavers — all crafted by skilled hands, built to last without cracks or damage.
Whether you want a winding garden trail or a spacious entertainment deck, our hardscaping process ensures durability and seamless integration with your existing landscape.
We start with a personal meeting — we look at your space, listen to you, and say: “This works for you. This doesn’t.”
What Makes You Different from Other 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.
We’re the ONLY company in Glendale that offers:
- → A free, no-pressure personal meeting — we walk your yard, listen to you, and learn how you want to live in it
- → Custom designs for each home — no copied templates
- → Drought-resistant plants — so you save water and avoid constant upkeep
- → Guarantee on all work — we don’t just build, we make sure it lasts
Unlike others who treat your yard like another job, we treat it like a legacy.
Real Stories from Glendale Homeowners
Layla Abdullah, Glendale:
“Before BuildCal, my yard was a mess. I came here and they said: ‘We can fix it without making you spend more.’ They built stone paths, planted drought-resistant shrubs, and added soft lighting. Now I host every holiday party here. It’s not just a yard… it’s a second home.”
Carlos Mendez, Glendale:
“I wanted a patio for summer BBQs but didn’t know where to start. Arin from BuildCal came out, drew ideas on paper, showed me samples, and built exactly what I imagined — even better. And no surprise costs.”
These aren’t scripted testimonials. These are real people, real transformations.
Why Choose Native Plants and Smart Irrigation?
In Southern California, water matters. That’s why we prioritize native plants — species adapted to Glendale’s climate, requiring less water, fewer chemicals, and minimal pruning.
Paired with smart irrigation systems, your yard stays lush year-round while reducing waste and utility bills.
We prefer a more naturalistic approach — minimal pesticides, no harsh chemicals — because healthy soil means healthier landscapes.
