Your mornings start with coffee on a beautiful patio instead of staring at dead grass. Weekends become about hosting friends rather than fighting weeds. Your neighbors stop to compliment your front yard, and your property value climbs 15-20% higher than comparable homes.
You get the outdoor space you actually want to spend time in. No more avoiding your backyard or making excuses about your landscaping. Just a thoughtfully designed environment that works with Newark’s climate, not against it.
The stress disappears too. No more wondering if your sprinkler system is wasting water or if your plants will survive another drought. Everything is designed for California’s realities—beautiful, functional, and built to last.
Since 1975, we’ve been the Bay Area’s go-to partner for residential landscaping that actually delivers. We’re not the newest company in Newark, and we’re not trying to be. We’re the one with five decades of experience turning challenging Bay Area properties into outdoor masterpieces.
We’ve completed over 5,000 projects across the region, working with everyone from young families in Newark’s neighborhoods to Silicon Valley executives who demand nothing but the best. What sets us apart isn’t just our experience—it’s our commitment to treating every project like it’s our own backyard.
Newark homeowners choose us because we understand the unique challenges of landscaping in Northern California. We know which plants thrive in your specific microclimate, how to work with challenging Bay Area soil, and how to create designs that look stunning while meeting California’s water conservation requirements.
We start with an in-person consultation at your Newark property. No rushing through measurements or generic recommendations. We take time to understand your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget while assessing your soil conditions, drainage, and existing landscape challenges.
Next comes the design phase where we use cutting-edge 3D and CAD technology to bring your ideas to life. You’ll see exactly what your finished landscape will look like before any work begins—from plant placement to hardscape details. This isn’t just pretty pictures; it’s your roadmap to the outdoor space you’ve been dreaming about.
Once you approve the design, we coordinate everything. We handle permits, schedule our vetted contractors, and provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in our industry. Throughout construction, you get daily updates and direct oversight from our experienced project manager.
The final walkthrough isn’t just about handing over keys. We make sure every detail meets our standards and yours, provide maintenance guidance, and ensure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job complete.

Your residential landscaping in Newark, CA includes comprehensive design and installation services tailored to Northern California’s unique conditions. We handle everything from initial site evaluation and soil preparation to plant selection, hardscape installation, and irrigation system design.
Newark’s Mediterranean climate allows for year-round outdoor living, so we focus on creating functional spaces that take advantage of our mild winters and warm, dry summers. This means designing patios and outdoor living areas that work in January just as well as July, selecting drought-resistant plants that thrive without constant watering, and installing smart irrigation systems that comply with California’s water conservation requirements.
We also address the specific challenges Newark homeowners face: working with Bay Area soil conditions that often need amending, creating designs that complement the area’s architectural styles from mid-century modern to contemporary, and incorporating native California plants that support local wildlife while reducing maintenance needs.
Every project includes detailed CAD installation plans, 3D renderings that show both day and night views of your completed landscape, and coordination with our network of pre-screened contractors who understand our quality standards.
Most residential landscaping projects in Newark take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on the scope and complexity of your design. Simple front yard makeovers might be completed in 1-2 weeks, while comprehensive backyard transformations with hardscaping, irrigation, and extensive planting typically require 3-4 weeks.
What makes us different is that we provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—something rare in the landscaping industry. We factor in everything from permit processing times to material delivery schedules, so you know exactly when work begins and when you’ll be enjoying your new outdoor space.
Weather can occasionally impact outdoor work, but Newark’s mild climate allows us to work year-round. We actually prefer fall and winter installations because it gives plants time to establish their root systems before the warmer months, leading to healthier, more resilient landscapes.
The best plants for Newark residential landscaping are those that thrive in our Mediterranean climate while meeting California’s water conservation requirements. We focus on drought-tolerant natives like California poppies, lavender, and ornamental grasses, combined with Mediterranean species like olive trees, rosemary, and sage that complement Newark’s year-round outdoor living lifestyle.
For homeowners wanting color and seasonal interest, we recommend plants like salvias, lantana, and California native wildflowers that bloom throughout the growing season without requiring excessive water. Shade areas work well with ferns, Japanese maples, and camellia varieties that handle Newark’s specific microclimate conditions.
The key is selecting plants that not only look beautiful but also support local wildlife, reduce maintenance requirements, and comply with water-wise landscaping regulations. We avoid water-hungry plants that struggle in our dry summers and instead focus on creating lush, vibrant landscapes using species that actually want to grow here.
Most basic residential landscaping in Newark doesn’t require permits—things like planting, installing sod, or creating garden beds typically fall under routine maintenance. However, you’ll need permits for structural changes like retaining walls over 4 feet high, major grading or drainage modifications, or hardscape features that affect property drainage patterns.
We handle all permit applications and approvals as part of our service. Our 50 years of experience working in Newark and throughout the Bay Area means we know exactly what triggers permit requirements and how to navigate the local approval process efficiently.
The permit process usually adds 2-3 weeks to project timelines, but we factor this into our guaranteed start dates so there are no surprises. We also ensure all work meets local building codes and HOA requirements if applicable, protecting you from potential issues down the road.
Residential landscaping costs in Newark typically range from $15,000-$75,000 depending on your property size, design complexity, and material choices. Simple front yard refreshes might start around $10,000-$20,000, while comprehensive backyard transformations with hardscaping, outdoor living areas, and extensive planting often range $40,000-$100,000 or more.
Bay Area costs run higher than national averages due to local labor rates, material costs, and the specialized expertise needed for California’s unique landscaping requirements. However, professional landscaping in Newark’s robust real estate market typically adds 15-20% to property values, making it a solid investment in your home’s worth.
We provide detailed, transparent pricing during the design phase so you know exactly what you’re investing in. Our designs are customized to fit your budget while maximizing impact, and we offer guidance on phasing larger projects if needed to spread costs over time.
Absolutely—water-efficient landscaping is our specialty and increasingly required under California’s conservation regulations. We design beautiful, lush landscapes that use 50% less water than traditional lawns while still providing the outdoor living spaces Newark homeowners love.
Our water-smart approach includes drought-tolerant plant selection, smart irrigation systems with weather-based controllers, and hardscape features that reduce overall water needs. We’re experts in xeriscaping techniques that create stunning visual impact using native grasses, succulents, and Mediterranean plants that thrive in Newark’s climate.
Many of our clients are surprised to discover that water-efficient doesn’t mean boring or brown. We create colorful, textured landscapes with year-round interest using plants that are naturally adapted to California’s rainfall patterns. Plus, you’ll qualify for local water district rebates that can offset installation costs while reducing your monthly water bills.
We’re not just another landscaping company—we’re your Bay Area neighbors with 50 years of proven expertise creating outdoor spaces that Newark homeowners actually love living in. While other companies promise results, we guarantee start and completion dates and back every project with the kind of personal attention you’d expect from a family-operated business.

We use cutting-edge 3D design technology so you see exactly what you’re getting, and our network of vetted contractors ensures quality installation every time.
What really sets us apart is our understanding of Newark’s specific conditions—from soil challenges to HOA requirements to the plants that thrive in your neighborhood’s microclimate. We’re not learning on your project; we’re applying five decades of local expertise to create the outdoor space you’ll enjoy for years to come.
