Elite Earthworks & Engineering

Elite Earthworks & Engineering operates on Date Street in Murrieta as a full-scope landscape contractor handling design, installation, and ongoing maintenance across residential properties in the valley. The firm works the full spectrum — traditional turf lawns for newer tract homes, drought-tolerant conversions for water-conscious owners, hardscape builds like pavers and retaining walls, and irrigation system work that either supports existing landscapes or feeds new xeriscaped designs. The scale ranges from routine seasonal maintenance to ground-up property transformation. Southern California's water restrictions and turf-replacement incentives have shifted demand heavily toward low-water alternatives, and Elite tracks that trend: homeowners converting water-hungry lawns to native plantings, decomposed granite, and drought-tolerant shrubs see measurable savings on both water bills and long-term maintenance costs. For wine-country estates wanting structured, upscale outdoor spaces, the firm's hardscape and design work suits that scale. For tract-home owners managing seasonal cleanup and standard lawn care, Elite also handles that routine work. The real demand driver in Murrieta's climate is the conversion work — and that's where the firm's design-to-install pipeline concentrates most of its effort these days.
