California Custom Landscapes operates on Murrieta Hot Springs Road, serving both residential and commercial properties across the valley with design, installation, and maintenance work. The company handles the full scope of hardscape and planting projects — retaining walls, pavers, outdoor living spaces, and irrigation systems — as well as the conversion work that's become standard in Southern California: removing water-hungry turf, installing drought-tolerant plantings, and redesigning irrigation to meet current water restrictions. Licensed landscape contractor status positions them for permit-heavy jobs and complex site grading. The business fits homeowners converting traditional lawns to low-water alternatives (eligible for SoCal Water$mart rebates), tract-home owners wanting hardscape updates, and Wine Country properties where aesthetics matter beyond basic maintenance. Murrieta's mix of newer subdivisions, hillside estates, and commercial corridors means the work ranges from modest patio upgrades to larger estate redesigns. For ongoing grounds maintenance alone, smaller yard-service operators are the right call; for design-forward projects with hardscape, irrigation redesign, or significant planting schemes, California Custom Landscapes handles the deeper scope most homeowners can't manage in-house.

Smittys Landscape Construction on Blackmore Street operates across the full project spectrum — design, installation, and ongoing maintenance work — for residential properties throughout Murrieta. The operation handles both traditional landscape builds and the conversion work that dominates the region now: lawn removal, drought-tolerant planting schemes, and irrigation retrofits that align with California water restrictions and local rebate programs. Hardscape elements like pavers, retaining walls, and outdoor living structures anchor many projects, particularly in the newer subdivisions where homeowners expect finished outdoor rooms rather than basic yards. The client mix skews toward homeowners managing aging turf in summer heat and those capitalizing on SoCal Water$mart incentives to transition away from water-hungry lawns. Wine Country properties seeking a different aesthetic than tract-home landscapes represent another segment. Whether a project is a complete ground-up design, a mid-life conversion from turf to native-plant beds, or seasonal maintenance, the scope determines pacing; design-build jobs require more planning time than maintenance contracts, which run on predictable quarterly or semi-annual cycles.

Murrieta Oaks Nursery operates as a landscape and outdoor-space contractor on Greer Road in Murrieta, handling the kind of property work that falls between major renovation and weekly maintenance — fence repair and installation, hardscape design, tree work, irrigation systems, planting beds, and outdoor structure builds. The operation takes on both small single-task jobs and larger landscape overhauls, scaling work to fit what a property needs rather than pushing toward the biggest possible contract. Homeowners call for fence repair when a panel fails, irrigation troubleshooting when the system stops cycling, tree removal or trimming that a general handyman wouldn't tackle, or a complete yard redesign that requires both design sense and installation crew. For straightforward punch-list work — a broken gate, a retaining wall that needs rebuilding, seasonal bed refresh — they handle the labor without requiring a general contractor middleman. For new construction landscaping or extensive grading work, other specialists in the area handle the scope; Murrieta Oaks fits the established-home maintenance and modest upgrade lane, where most Murrieta properties land after the first five years of ownership.
Called to see if they had a certain olive tree. The owner was beyond helpful. So kind. Gave me lots of advice on how to bring my current olive tree back to life. What a lovely small business.
Good nursery, great selection of native plants and trees! The only place I’ve seen a Joshua tree for sale, so I had to get one. The man working there was very friendly and provided great customer service. I’m glad I checked this place out!
Great place! Was able to help us successfully find a new plum tree, and he even sent a worker to remove our old one and plant the new one! Amazing customer service! Mike was a huge help. Highly recommend.
What Locals Know
Murrieta's inland location means intense summer heat and clay-heavy soil that demands heat-tolerant plant choices. Homeowners undertaking landscape projects need sourcing guidance specific to the valley's water restrictions and soil profile — a nursery familiar with local conditions saves costly replanting.
