Outdoor Landscaping Company Process

How Your Landscape Project Actually Works

We start with a real site survey—not a quick walk-around estimate. Measurements, photos, soil analysis, and a detailed conversation about your goals, timeline, and budget. This prevents surprises later. Design happens in 3D, so you see your finished landscape before any digging starts. Most landscape contractors hand you a basic sketch and hope for the best. You get photorealistic renderings that show exactly what you’re getting. Installation runs on guaranteed dates with daily progress updates. Our licensed contractors know the timeline, you know the timeline, and everyone sticks to it. When your neighbors ask how you managed to get a landscape project finished on schedule, you’ll know why.

Everything Your Fairview Property Needs

Complete landscape construction covers hardscaping, softscaping, irrigation, and lighting. Patios that don’t crack, walkways that drain properly, retaining walls built to last decades, and plant selections that thrive in your specific microclimate. Water-efficient irrigation systems matter in California. We design systems that keep everything green while reducing your water bills. Smart controllers, drip irrigation where appropriate, and zone design that matches your landscape’s actual needs. Fairview’s established neighborhoods require contractors who understand mature properties. Whether you’re updating a 1970s landscape or working around existing mature trees, we know how to enhance what works and replace what doesn’t—without destroying your property’s character.

How long does a landscape project take in Fairview?

Most residential projects take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, with guaranteed completion dates provided upfront. Unlike contractors who give vague “weather permitting” timelines, you get specific start and finish dates in writing. The process breaks down into design approval (1-2 weeks), material ordering and permit acquisition if needed, then installation phases. We coordinate everything to prevent the delays that plague most landscape projects. Fairview’s predictable climate helps maintain schedules. We plan for seasonal patterns and have backup systems for the rare weather delays. When timeline changes happen, you know immediately—not when you call asking for updates.

What's actually included in your landscape contractor services?

Everything from site survey through final cleanup. Site analysis, custom 3D design, all permits and inspections, complete installation by licensed contractors, and project management that keeps everything on track. Installation covers hardscaping (patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire features), softscaping (plants, trees, lawn areas), irrigation systems, and landscape lighting. Materials, labor, cleanup—it’s all included in your fixed-price contract. The design cost gets refunded when you use our installation team. This isn’t a gimmick—it ensures design and construction work together seamlessly, eliminating the coordination problems that cause most landscape project failures.

Can you handle Fairview's hillside and sloped properties?

Hillside properties are actually our specialty. Fifty years in the Bay Area means we’ve solved every slope challenge Fairview can present—from gentle grades to steep hillsides that other contractors won’t touch. Slope stabilization, drainage management, and erosion control are standard parts of our hillside designs. We understand Fairview’s soil conditions, seasonal water patterns, and how to work with the natural topography instead of fighting it. Retaining walls, terraced gardens, and strategic grading turn challenging slopes into stunning landscape features. Some of our most dramatic transformations have been on properties other contractors called “too difficult” or “too expensive.”

How do you keep landscape projects on budget?

Fixed-price contracts based on detailed designs eliminate surprise costs. You see exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before any work starts. No change orders unless you request modifications. The 3D design process prevents costly mistakes during construction. When you can see your finished landscape in detail beforehand, there are no expensive “that’s not what I expected” moments during installation. We absorb normal material price fluctuations and labor variations. Your approved price is your final price, even if material costs change between contract signing and installation. This approach has kept us busy in Fairview’s demanding market for decades.

What makes you different from other landscape contractors?

Guaranteed completion dates backed by 50 years of successful projects. Most contractors give estimates and hope for the best. We commit to specific timelines because our systems and contractor network make it possible. 3D design technology shows you exactly what you’re getting before construction starts. No guesswork, no “trust us” moments, no disappointing surprises when the project is finished. The design cost refund eliminates the biggest risk in landscape projects—design and construction teams that don’t communicate. When the same company handles both, your project works seamlessly from concept to completion.

Do you provide maintenance after installation?

We focus on design and construction, but connect you with trusted maintenance professionals who understand our landscape systems. This ensures your investment gets proper ongoing care from specialists familiar with our work. You receive detailed maintenance guidelines specific to your landscape design—irrigation schedules, pruning requirements, seasonal care instructions. This documentation helps any maintenance team care for your landscape properly. Our low-maintenance design philosophy means less ongoing care required anyway. Strategic plant selection, efficient irrigation systems, and quality hardscaping minimize maintenance needs while maximizing your landscape’s long-term performance and beauty.
