Learn More βNewbury Park families want backyards that actually get used β and from Dos Vientos to the older tracts off Borchard, we build outdoor spaces made for everyday life.
Get a Free EstimateNewbury Park sits on the western edge of Thousand Oaks, and it has its own distinct, family-first feel. The master-planned Dos Vientos Ranch neighborhood brought a wave of newer homes with good-sized backyards right up against the open space of the Santa Monica Mountains and the trailheads at Rancho Sierra Vista. Closer in, you've got the established tracts off Borchard and Reino with mature trees and room to spread out. The common thread is families who want their yards to work β space for kids to play, a patio for weekend barbecues, low-maintenance greenery, and a backyard that feels like an extension of the house rather than a chore.
Ventura Landscape & Design designs Newbury Park yards around how families actually live. That means durable turf or artificial grass that survives soccer practice, hardscaped patios sized for real gatherings, shade and planting that hold up to the warm inland afternoons, and irrigation that keeps everything green without running up the bill. For homes backing the Santa Monica Mountains, we also build with fire-smart spacing and plant choices in mind. Practical, good-looking, and built to be lived in β that's the Newbury Park brief, and it's one we're glad to take on.

It depends on your priorities. Artificial turf is hugely popular here for families who want a green, play-ready yard with no mud, no watering, and no mowing. If you prefer the feel of real grass, we install quality sod with proper prep. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your backyard.

Yes, both. We work across Newbury Park, from the newer Dos Vientos Ranch homes to the established tracts off Borchard and Reino. Each has different lot sizes and existing landscaping, and we tailor the design accordingly.
The Newbury Park favorites are a properly sized patio, a built-in BBQ island or outdoor kitchen, comfortable shade, and lighting so you can use the space after dark. We design the flow so the backyard becomes the natural gathering spot for family and friends.
Definitely. Newbury Park runs warmer than the coast, so we use efficient drip and smart irrigation, drought-tolerant planting where it fits, and artificial turf to cut watering. You get a green, usable yard without a painful summer water bill.
