Why landscape

Innovative Outdoor Design for Lasting Appeal

Transforming outdoor spaces into inviting, functional environments is a crucial part of enhancing a home’s curb appeal and livability. DECOMA Industries brings a comprehensive approach to designing and developing exterior areas that reflect the homeowner’s vision while maximizing the potential of the property. Whether creating serene gardens, structured patios, or expansive lawns, the focus is on blending natural elements with design to establish a cohesive look. Each project is approached with careful attention to detail, considering the unique terrain, climate, and architectural style of the home to ensure that the result is both visually striking and sustainable over time.

Beautiful, Functional Exterior Space Transformations

Beyond aesthetics, functionality plays a key role in the design process. DECOMA integrates solutions that provide homeowners with outdoor spaces they can enjoy year-round, from customized irrigation systems and outdoor lighting to functional patios and entertainment areas. The combination of modern materials, innovative design, and efficient landscaping techniques results in spaces that enhance the home’s value and usability. Every project is tailored to the homeowner’s lifestyle, whether it’s a peaceful retreat, an area for family gatherings, or an eco-friendly garden.

What you get

Everything we deliver.

  • 01

    Yard design & site plan

    Conceptual design, planting plan, hardscape plan, irrigation plan. We design for your house, your soil, and the way you actually use the yard.

  • 02

    Drought-tolerant & California-native planting

    Plant palettes that thrive in the South Bay's coastal climate without weekly watering. Sage, manzanita, ceanothus, succulents, native grasses — the look people associate with Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes.

  • 03

    Hardscape, paths & patios

    Pavers, decomposed granite, concrete, flagstone. Retaining walls for the hillside lots in Palos Verdes and San Pedro. Steps, stairs, and walkways that hold up.

    Drip irrigation & smart controllers

    Drip irrigation with Hunter or Rain Bird controllers, weather-based scheduling, rain shutoff. Water bills cut in half is common when we replace old spray systems.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does a residential landscape install take?
Front-yard refresh: 2–3 weeks including establishment. Full backyard with patio and hardscape: 4–8 weeks. Whole-property landscape design and install: 8–14 weeks. We work continuously — never leave a yard half-trenched.
Will the new landscape survive a California drought year?
If we design it right, yes. We spec drought-tolerant California natives, drip irrigation, and smart controllers that adjust to actual weather. Many of our 10-year-old installs have survived multiple Stage 3 water restrictions with zero plant loss.
Do you handle hillside or sloped lots common in Palos Verdes and San Pedro?
Yes. Hillside lots need real retaining walls (engineered for over 4 ft), drainage design, and root systems that hold soil. We've designed and built hillside landscapes across Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, and San Pedro for decades.
Can you remove a lawn and replace it with drought-tolerant?
Yes, and you may qualify for a SoCal Water$mart turf rebate ($2–4 per sq ft as of 2025). We can design to qualify, document the install, and handle the rebate paperwork. Most of our front-yard transforms in the South Bay use the rebate.
What about pool surround and outdoor kitchen integration?
We design pool surrounds, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens as part of the landscape master plan. If you don't already have a pool, we coordinate with a pool builder; if you do, we design around it without compromising the look.
How much does a residential landscape cost?
Front-yard refresh: $15K–35K. Full backyard with patio, planting, irrigation: $40K–100K. Whole-property design-build with retaining walls and outdoor kitchen: $100K–250K+. We'll quote your specific property, not a per-sq-ft average.
