Landscaping Built for Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights is an established Sacramento County suburb of quiet streets, mature trees and generous older lots, where shade, hot dry summers and aging yards shape every project. Landscaping Citrus Heights work starts with what is already there: the mature canopy, the soil under it, and irrigation and fences that have often reached the end of their life. Yards here are lived-in, shaded and larger than in newer suburbs, and they come with established-yard problems: tired lawns, overgrown beds, aging fences and irrigation systems that predate water-wise thinking.
In addition, American Gardens Landscaping designs and builds for all of it: landscaping design, custom redwood and metal fences, xeriscaping, irrigation and drainage, artificial grass, sod, planting, and hardscaping and patios that fit the yard instead of fighting it. We serve homeowners across Sacramento County, Placer County, and El Dorado County, and we are licensed for both landscaping and fencing, so one crew handles your whole project — and builds it to be inspected up close: pressure-treated posts wrapped below grade, Simpson connectors, screws instead of nails.
Landscaping Citrus Heights Services & Fencing
Custom Fences & Gates
Redwood, metal, and HOA-style fencing built for Citrus Heights lots, from full fence replacements to pool gates that meet code. Posts are pressure-treated, wrapped with waterproof protection below ground, and set 2 to 3 feet deep. Every fence we build is backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty on the work we perform.
Retaining Walls & Hardscaping
Block and stone walls, edging, and hardscape features built with real drainage behind them. Backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty.
Paver Patios & Walkways
Patios and walkways, including herringbone-pattern work, laid on a properly compacted base — never on bare dirt — and backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty.
Artificial Grass
A green lawn through Citrus Heights’ hottest summers with no mowing, no mud, and a fraction of the water — backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty.
Irrigation & Drainage
Sprinkler-to-drip conversions, smart controllers, and repairs for the aging systems common in Citrus Heights’ established neighborhoods, plus drainage that moves winter storm water away from your home. Irrigation work we perform is covered by our 12-month workmanship warranty.
Xeriscaping & Water-Wise Planting
Drought-smart front yards with succulents, California-friendly plants, decorative rock, and efficient drip irrigation, designed for hot, dry Citrus Heights summers.
Landscape Design
A complete plan before we break ground — drawn for your lot, your shade, and the mature trees that define Citrus Heights yards.
Natural Sod
Fresh natural lawns installed on properly prepared, graded soil for homeowners who want real grass.
Built for Citrus Heights
Mature canopy. Beneath it, mature trees shade whole yards — we plant for real shade and dig carefully around the roots that hold those trees up.
Hot, dry summers. Long heat and low water demand lawns and beds that hold up — so we favor drip irrigation, mulch, and water-wise planting where they fit.
Older homes, older systems. Many Citrus Heights yards still run original irrigation and fences at the end of their life — we replace them with systems sized for today’s water rules.
Established lots, established shade. Citrus Heights lots are older suburban lots with mature trees and shade to work around — we plan planting, fences and patios for the light and roots that are already there.
Recent Work in Citrus Heights
A recent Citrus Heights backyard shows what a full refresh looks like: an overgrown yard was cleared and graded, weed fabric and drip irrigation were installed, and the beds were finished with red cedar mulch and new plantings including bougainvillea, roses, citrus and a Japanese maple.

Why Citrus Heights Homeowners Choose Us
American Gardens Landscaping is led by Amin, who brings 30+ years of his own hands-on experience to every project — landscaping and fencing are his family’s trade, passed down through generations. For example, that experience shows in the details: posts wrapped below grade so they don’t rot, connectors and screws instead of nails, bases compacted before a single paver is laid. In Citrus Heights, that care matters even more, where mature trees, shade and older lots demand work built around what is already there.

Citrus Heights Landscaping FAQ
Citrus Heights is an incorporated city — whose fence rules apply?
Citrus Heights’ own, since it is an incorporated city; we build to city standards and confirm the specifics for your lot at the visit. Regulations change — check with the city to confirm before building.
Our old lawn dies under the big trees every summer — what actually works?
Shade changes everything: shade-tolerant planting, water-wise groundcover, or artificial grass in the worst spots. We look at the light at the visit and recommend honestly.
Our irrigation is original to the house — is it worth converting to drip?
Usually, yes. Older spray systems waste water and miss the roots; drip puts water where plants need it, and smart controllers adjust for Citrus Heights’ hot, dry summers. We size the conversion at the visit.
