About · Bakersfield, California
Elite Landscaping LLC, in Bakersfield
A landscape contractor working one city: design and planting, built hardscape, and the irrigation and drainage that ties them together.
Who This Is
A Bakersfield Landscaping Company
Elite Landscaping LLC is a landscaping contractor based in Bakersfield, California. The work is residential and commercial: front and back yards for homeowners, and grounds, entries and common areas for businesses and property managers in and around the city.
The company is organised around three services rather than a long menu — landscape design & installation, hardscaping & outdoor living and irrigation & drainage. Most projects touch two or three of them at once, which is the reason to keep them under one crew: the grade, the base, the planting and the water all get decided together instead of by three separate trades pointing at each other.
What that means for a customer is a single point of contact from the first walkthrough to the last, and a plan where the drainage was thought about before the patio went in and the irrigation was zoned to the planting rather than bolted on after.
How the Work Is Done
What to Expect at Each Visit
The first visit is a real assessment
We look at grade, soil, drainage, existing irrigation, sun and shade, and how you use the space — not just what you want to plant. In Bakersfield the answer usually starts with the soil and where the water goes, and that shapes everything after it.
You get a written estimate first
Scope, materials and a number in writing before anything is scheduled. A price mentioned on the phone is a range; the binding number is the signed estimate after we've seen the site.
Digging starts after a utility locate
DigAlert (811) is called and the mark period is honoured before any excavation or trenching. On an existing landscape we also hand-check for private irrigation and low-voltage lines.
Permits and inspections are handled
A retaining wall over four feet, gas or electrical to an outdoor kitchen, and a backflow assembly on a new irrigation system are permitted or inspected work. We pull what's needed with the City of Bakersfield or Kern County and meet the inspector.
The base gets built before the surface
Compaction in lifts under hardscape, soil opened up and amended before planting, grade set to fall away from the house. The failures that show up in year two are almost always in the part that got skipped here.
It ends with a walk-through
We walk every irrigation zone with you, set the controller for the season, and hand over a written care schedule for the first year — the stretch that decides whether new plants establish or struggle.
