You wake up to a yard that actually works. No more stressing about dead patches, drainage issues, or that eyesore everyone notices from the street.
Your property value jumps. Professional landscaping adds up to $10,000 to your home’s listing price, and you see that return immediately in curb appeal.
You stop worrying about maintenance headaches. Smart irrigation systems and carefully chosen plants mean your landscape stays beautiful without constant attention or water waste.
Lakota Design Group has been the Bay Area’s trusted landscape contractor since 1975. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects and worked with Silicon Valley executives from Apple, Yahoo, and the San Francisco 49ers.
Family-operated and locally focused, we understand Twin Lakes’ unique challenges. From HOA requirements to water restrictions, we navigate the specifics that trip up other contractors.
Our 3D design process lets you see exactly what you’re getting before construction starts. No surprises, no “that’s not what I expected” moments.
First, we come to your property for a real consultation. Not a sales pitch—an actual assessment of your space, drainage, sunlight, and what you want to achieve.
Next, we create detailed 3D renderings so you see your finished project before any work begins. You make changes on screen, not after we’ve already dug up your yard.
Then construction starts with our vetted contractors. You get daily updates and direct project management. We handle permits, scheduling, and quality control so you don’t have to chase anyone down.
Finally, we do a complete walkthrough with you. Every detail gets checked, and nothing’s considered done until you’re completely satisfied.

Lakota Design Group handles all permit applications and ensures compliance with both city requirements and HOA guidelines. We’re familiar with Twin Lakes’ specific regulations and streamline the approval process.

Landscape contractor costs in Twin Lakes typically range from $15,000-$75,000 for complete property renovations, with most homeowners investing $25,000-$40,000 for comprehensive front and backyard projects.
Factors affecting price include property size, design complexity, materials selected, and existing conditions. Drainage issues, slope challenges, and HOA requirements can impact overall investment.
Lakota Design Group provides detailed estimates with no hidden costs. Our design fee is often covered when you use our recommended contractors, and we help you prioritize elements to stay within budget while maximizing impact.
Yes, we specialize in navigating Twin Lakes HOA requirements and have extensive experience with local community guidelines. Many neighborhoods have specific restrictions on plant types, hardscape materials, and design elements.
We review HOA covenants during the design phase and ensure all plans meet community standards before construction begins. This prevents costly revisions and approval delays.
Our local experience means we already know common HOA preferences and restrictions in Twin Lakes developments. We design with compliance in mind from day one, not as an afterthought.
Fifty years of Bay Area experience and over 5,000 completed projects provide insight that newer contractors simply can’t match. We’ve worked through every type of challenge Twin Lakes properties present.
Our 3D design process eliminates guesswork. You see realistic renderings of your finished project before construction starts, including lighting effects and seasonal plant changes.
Complete project management means one point of contact from design through completion. You’re not coordinating multiple contractors or wondering who’s responsible when issues arise—we handle everything.
Absolutely. Water efficiency is crucial in Twin Lakes, and we specialize in drought-tolerant landscapes that stay beautiful year-round. Smart irrigation systems use weather data to optimize watering schedules automatically.
Native plant selections reduce water needs while supporting local wildlife. We’re familiar with Bay Area water district rebate programs that can offset costs for water-efficient upgrades.
The result is a landscape that looks lush but uses 30-50% less water than traditional designs. Lower utility bills and environmental responsibility without sacrificing beauty or functionality.
