You get comprehensive landscape design and construction services tailored to San Martin’s affluent community standards. This includes custom hardscaping, sophisticated plant selections, efficient irrigation systems, and outdoor lighting that enhances your property’s evening appeal.
San Martin’s Mediterranean climate and water restrictions require specialized knowledge. We design drought-resistant landscapes using native and adapted plants that thrive in your specific conditions while meeting county water conservation requirements.
Our services include everything from initial site surveys and soil analysis to final installation and warranty support. You work with one team from concept to completion, eliminating the coordination headaches that come with managing multiple contractors.
Most residential landscape projects in San Martin take 2-6 weeks depending on scope and complexity. Design-build projects with extensive hardscaping or grading may extend to 8-10 weeks.
The key difference with Lakota is we provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront. Weather delays happen, but we build realistic buffers into our schedules and communicate any changes immediately.
Our project managers coordinate all phases to minimize downtime. While other contractors might disappear for days between phases, we maintain continuous progress with proper sequencing and resource allocation.
California requires landscape contractors to hold an active C-27 license for projects over $500. This involves passing comprehensive exams covering horticulture, construction methods, business law, and safety regulations.
Beyond licensing, San Martin’s unique conditions demand local expertise. The area’s clay soils, microclimate variations, and strict water regulations require contractors who understand these challenges intimately.
Our 50-year Bay Area history means we’ve worked through multiple drought cycles, regulatory changes, and soil conditions specific to your area. We know which plants thrive in San Martin’s climate and which irrigation methods meet current efficiency standards.
Water-efficient design is essential in San Martin given California’s ongoing drought conditions. We specialize in drought-resistant landscaping using native and adapted plants that require minimal irrigation once established.
Our designs incorporate smart irrigation systems with weather sensors and zone-specific watering schedules. This ensures compliance with local water restrictions while maintaining healthy, attractive landscapes year-round.
We also integrate hardscaping elements like permeable pavers and decorative rock features that reduce overall water needs. The result is a stunning landscape that actually conserves water compared to traditional lawn-heavy designs.
The initial consultation involves a thorough site evaluation where we assess your property’s unique conditions including soil quality, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and existing vegetation. We also discuss your lifestyle needs, aesthetic preferences, and budget parameters.
Following the site visit, we create detailed 3D renderings and CAD drawings showing exactly how your finished landscape will appear. This technology eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re completely satisfied with the design before construction begins.
The consultation process typically takes 1-2 weeks from initial meeting to final design approval. We present multiple options and refine the design based on your feedback until it perfectly matches your vision.
Transparent pricing starts with detailed cost breakdowns for every project component. You receive itemized estimates covering materials, labor, permits, and any potential variables before work begins.
Our project managers provide daily progress updates and immediately communicate any unforeseen circumstances that might affect timeline or budget. Most issues can be resolved through value engineering that maintains quality while controlling costs.
Guaranteed start and completion dates are backed by proper planning and resource allocation. We don’t overcommit our crews or take on more projects than we can handle properly, which is why we consistently meet our promised timelines.
All plant materials come with a one-year warranty covering replacement due to defects or installation issues. Hardscape elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls carry longer warranties based on materials and construction methods used.
We provide detailed care instructions for your new landscape including watering schedules, pruning guidelines, and seasonal maintenance recommendations. This ensures your investment continues looking its best for years to come.
Our relationship doesn’t end at project completion. Many clients engage us for ongoing maintenance services or future expansion projects. Having the original designer handle maintenance ensures continuity and protects your landscape investment long-term.
