Day Valley’s Mediterranean climate and current water restrictions make drought-tolerant plants the smart choice. We recommend native California species like lavender, rosemary, and ornamental grasses, plus Mediterranean varieties that thrive here with minimal water.
For shade areas under your oak trees, we use plants like Japanese forest grass and coral bells. For sunny slopes, we might suggest succulents, California poppies, or salvias that provide color while using very little water. The key is selecting plants that naturally want to grow in your specific microclimate.
After 50 years in the Bay Area, we know which plants will thrive in Day Valley’s specific conditions—from soil type to sun exposure to seasonal weather patterns. This expertise means your landscape looks great year-round without constant maintenance or water waste.
Most residential landscaping projects in Day Valley take 2-8 weeks to complete, depending on size and complexity. A front yard redesign might finish in 2-3 weeks, while a complete backyard transformation with hardscaping typically takes 6-8 weeks.

We coordinate all aspects of your project, from permits to material deliveries, so there are no delays or surprises.

Absolutely. We handle all permit requirements and ensure your landscape design complies with California’s water restrictions and Santa Cruz County regulations. This includes irrigation system permits, hardscaping approvals, and any tree removal or protection requirements.
Day Valley falls under strict water conservation rules, and non-compliance can result in significant fines. We design irrigation systems that meet efficiency standards and select plant palettes that thrive with minimal water. Our designs actually help you save money on utility bills while staying compliant.
We also coordinate with local utility companies for any underground line marking and work within HOA guidelines if applicable. You don’t need to worry about navigating the regulatory maze—we handle those details so you can focus on enjoying the design process.
Yes, and we actually specialize in designing around Day Valley’s beautiful mature oak trees and other established vegetation. These trees are often the most valuable features of your property, both aesthetically and financially, so we design landscapes that complement and protect them.
We understand root zones, proper drainage around established trees, and how to select understory plants that thrive in dappled shade. Our irrigation designs ensure trees get appropriate water without overwatering, which can actually harm mature oaks.
If tree removal is necessary for your design goals, we handle all permits and work with certified arborists. But more often, we find creative ways to incorporate existing trees into stunning landscape designs that feel like they’ve always belonged together.
We design Day Valley landscapes for minimal maintenance while maximizing beauty. Most of our residential projects require seasonal pruning, occasional weeding, and regular irrigation system checks—tasks many homeowners handle themselves or hire for monthly service.
Your specific maintenance needs depend on plant choices and design complexity. Drought-tolerant landscapes need less frequent care than traditional gardens. Smart irrigation controllers reduce the need for manual watering adjustments. Quality hardscaping materials require virtually no ongoing maintenance.
We provide detailed maintenance guidelines with every project, including seasonal care schedules and local resource recommendations. Many clients find their new landscapes actually require less work than their previous yards while looking significantly better year-round.
