Home / About Us
A licensed landscape contractor in Encino, CA. Eli and the crew have built residential yards from Ventura Blvd across the San Fernando Valley since 2002 - bonded, insured, and still on the job through the final walkthrough.
About
Who we are
Option 1 Builders is an Encino landscaper that also does paving, landscape design, and outdoor construction. Our office is at 16400 Ventura Blvd, Suite 319. Eli, the owner, still walks each property himself. Homeowners hire this contractor for landscape design and landscape installation - artificial turf, pavers, driveways, and full residential yards. More than 1,000 of them since 2002.
Most Encino homeowners who call already collected two or three quotes. The numbers do not match because the scopes do not match. We write demolition, base, material, edging, and drainage as separate lines on the estimate so you can see what a cheaper bid left out. That written quote is the number we work to.
We build for families, not commercial landscaping. The outdoor yard and garden get planned around where the dog runs, where the sun lands at four o'clock, and where you want a table. A landscaper who treats your lot like a template cannot do that. We do not sell weekly landscape maintenance. We install the work so a homeowner can use the yard without hiring a crew to mow.

Why Us
How this company works
The person who walks your Encino or Valley property is the person who answers during the landscape installation. No handoff to a scheduler you have never met.
Materials, base depth, drainage, and price in writing before anything is torn out, so the quote at the end matches the quote at the start.
Our own installers do the turf, the pavers, and the concrete. Nothing is handed to a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Every artificial grass installation we put down is backed by a 15-year warranty. We walk the coverage at the estimate and put it in the written scope.
Working as a contractor in Encino since 2002 means we know local soil, slopes, permits, and how Valley heat treats a lawn or paver driveway over a long summer.
