You’re tired of staring at that same uninspiring yard, wondering what it could become. The guesswork ends here.
Our 3D design process shows you exactly how your finished landscape will look before we break ground. No surprises, no regrets—just the outdoor space you’ve been imagining, brought to life with precision and craftsmanship that we’ve refined over five decades.
When your neighbors ask who transformed your property, you’ll have a story worth telling.
Since 1975, we’ve been the Bay Area’s go-to landscape contractor for homeowners who demand excellence. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects, from Silicon Valley executive estates to intimate coastal retreats like yours in La Selva Beach.
What sets us apart isn’t just our half-century of experience—it’s our understanding of this region’s unique challenges. We know the salt air, the coastal winds, the water restrictions, and the fire safety requirements that shape every decision.
Our family-operated approach means you work directly with people who care about your project’s success, not just another number in a corporate pipeline.
First, we listen. Your ideas, your lifestyle, your concerns about timeline and budget—everything matters. Then we survey your space and create detailed 3D renderings that let you walk through your future landscape before construction begins.
Once you approve the design, we handle everything else. We coordinate with our vetted contractor network, manage the daily progress, and keep you informed without overwhelming you with decisions you shouldn’t have to make.
You get guaranteed start and completion dates—a rarity in our industry—plus daily updates and direct access to our project manager. When we say we’ll be done, we’re done.
Ready to get started?
Your La Selva Beach property faces unique challenges that generic landscape contractors don’t understand. Salt air corrodes inferior materials. Coastal winds test structural integrity. Water restrictions demand smart plant selection.
We design with these realities in mind. Drought-tolerant native plantings that thrive in your microclimate. Fire-resistant hardscaping that meets California’s strict safety requirements. Smart irrigation systems that conserve water while keeping your landscape vibrant year-round.
Every material we specify, every plant we select, every drainage solution we install is chosen specifically for coastal conditions. Your investment stays beautiful longer because it’s built to handle what Mother Nature throws at it.
Most residential landscape projects in La Selva Beach take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope and complexity. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—something rare in our industry.
Our streamlined process and vetted contractor network eliminate the delays that plague other projects. We’ve completed installation projects in as little as 8 days for front yard redesigns, though larger backyard transformations typically require 3-4 weeks.
Weather rarely impacts our timeline significantly since we plan for La Selva Beach’s coastal conditions from the beginning.
Yes, we navigate the entire approval process for you. La Selva Beach and the surrounding coastal areas have specific requirements for landscape construction, especially regarding drainage, fire safety, and coastal protection.
Our 50 years of Bay Area experience means we know exactly what local authorities and HOAs expect. We prepare all necessary documentation, submit permits, and handle any questions or revisions that arise during the approval process.
You won’t spend your time running between offices or deciphering regulatory language—we handle the bureaucracy so you can focus on enjoying your new landscape.
Our 3D design technology creates photorealistic renderings that show exactly how your finished landscape will look, including seasonal changes and plant maturity over time. You can literally walk through your future outdoor space before construction begins.
Most contractors show you flat drawings or basic sketches that leave too much to imagination. Our advanced CAD technology eliminates guesswork by showing precise plant placement, hardscape materials, lighting effects, and how everything integrates with your home’s architecture.
The best part? If you use one of our recommended contractors for installation, your design cost is completely refunded since they pay us for it.
We exclusively specify plants that thrive in coastal microclimates, focusing on native California species and drought-tolerant varieties that handle salt air, sandy soil, and water restrictions naturally. Our plant selection process considers your specific site conditions, not just general regional guidelines.
Every plant recommendation comes from our database of species that have proven successful in thousands of Bay Area coastal projects over five decades. We know which varieties handle the morning marine layer, afternoon winds, and seasonal dry periods that define La Selva Beach’s environment.
Our smart irrigation systems deliver precise water amounts based on each plant’s needs and local weather conditions, ensuring long-term health while complying with water conservation requirements.
Our project management system includes daily oversight and quality checkpoints throughout installation. If any aspect doesn’t meet our standards—or yours—we address it immediately, not after the project is complete.
We work exclusively with vetted contractors who understand our quality expectations and have proven track records on similar coastal projects. Because we manage every aspect of your project, we maintain direct accountability for the final result.
Our 50-year reputation in the Bay Area depends on client satisfaction. We don’t consider a project complete until you’re thrilled with every detail, from plant placement to hardscape finishing.
We excel at integrating existing features you want to keep while transforming the overall space. Our design process begins by identifying which elements add value and which need replacement or modification.
Mature trees, established hardscaping, or sentimental plantings can often be incorporated into new designs with proper planning. Our 3D modeling shows exactly how existing features will work with proposed additions, preventing costly mistakes or regrets later.
We’ve saved clients thousands by creatively working around established elements rather than removing everything. Sometimes the best landscape design honors what’s already working while elevating everything around it.
