You’ll wake up to an outdoor space that actually makes sense for your daily routine. No more fighting with high-maintenance plants that can’t handle coastal conditions. No more wondering if your irrigation system is wasting water or money.
Instead, you get a thoughtfully designed landscape that thrives in Rio del Mar’s unique microclimate. Every plant placement, every hardscape element, every lighting fixture serves a purpose—whether that’s creating privacy, extending your living space, or simply giving you a place to unwind after a long day.
Your neighbors will notice the difference. More importantly, you’ll feel the difference every time you step outside.
Since 1975, we’ve been solving landscape challenges for Bay Area homeowners who expect more than the typical contractor can deliver. We’re not the newest company in town, and we’re not trying to be.
What we are is the most experienced. Over 5,000 completed projects across the Bay Area. Fifty years of learning exactly what works in coastal environments like Rio del Mar and what doesn’t.
We understand the salt exposure issues that kill plants other contractors recommend. We know which drainage solutions actually prevent the winter water problems that plague coastal properties. We’ve seen every microclimate challenge this area can throw at a landscape—and we know how to design around them.
We start with an in-person consultation at your property. Not a phone call or quick walkthrough—a real conversation about how you use your outdoor space and what’s not working. We measure, photograph, and analyze your site conditions, from soil composition to sun exposure patterns.
Next comes the design phase where our 50 years of experience meets cutting-edge 3D technology. You’ll see exactly what your finished landscape will look like before we break ground. No guessing, no hoping, no “trust us, it’ll look great.”
Once you approve the design, we provide guaranteed start and completion dates. Then we manage every aspect of construction using our network of vetted, licensed contractors. Daily updates keep you informed, and our project manager handles all the details so you don’t have to.

Your Rio del Mar landscape design includes comprehensive site analysis, custom 3D visualization, and detailed construction documentation. We handle drainage solutions that account for coastal soil conditions, irrigation systems designed for water efficiency, and plant selections that thrive in salt air.
Hardscape elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls use materials chosen specifically for coastal durability. Our lighting designs enhance both security and ambiance while standing up to marine layer moisture.
Every project includes project management from start to finish, so you work with one point of contact instead of juggling multiple contractors. We coordinate permits, manage timelines, and ensure quality control at every phase. Your investment is protected by our established relationships with suppliers and contractors who understand coastal construction requirements.
Rio del Mar’s coastal location creates specific challenges that generic landscape companies often miss. Salt exposure from ocean breezes requires plant selections that can handle saline conditions—many beautiful plants simply won’t survive here long-term.
We also account for the marine layer effects on sun exposure and moisture levels. What looks like a sunny spot in summer might be foggy and cool for months during other seasons. Our drainage solutions address the sandy soils that can cause water to pool in unexpected places during winter rains.
After 50 years in the Bay Area, we’ve learned which materials hold up to coastal conditions and which ones deteriorate quickly. This knowledge saves you from costly replacements and maintenance headaches down the road.
Most landscape companies show you pictures of other projects and ask you to imagine how something similar might look at your property. We use advanced 3D visualization technology to show you exactly what your specific landscape will look like before construction begins.
You’ll see your design from multiple angles, at different times of day, and in different seasons. Want to move that patio three feet to the left? Change the plant selection in the front border? We can show you those changes immediately, not after everything’s already installed.
We also provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something most contractors won’t commit to. Our project management system includes daily updates and direct oversight, so you always know where things stand.
California’s water efficiency regulations are complex, but we’ve been navigating them successfully for decades. Every design includes detailed water usage calculations that meet or exceed local requirements for Rio del Mar properties.
We use drought-tolerant plant palettes that still provide the visual impact you want—Mediterranean species, California natives, and other water-wise options that thrive in coastal conditions. Our irrigation designs incorporate efficient drip systems, smart controllers, and hydro-zoning to minimize water waste.
All documentation is prepared for easy permit approval, and we handle the submission process. You get a beautiful landscape that’s environmentally responsible and compliant with current regulations.
Your landscape design service includes comprehensive site analysis, custom 3D design visualization, detailed construction drawings, and complete project management through installation. We handle permit applications, contractor coordination, and quality control inspections.
The design phase covers everything from drainage and irrigation planning to plant selection and hardscape specifications. You’ll receive detailed drawings that contractors can follow precisely, eliminating the guesswork that leads to change orders and delays.
Our project management includes daily site oversight, progress updates, and coordination with all trades involved in your installation. We’re your single point of contact throughout the entire process, from initial consultation to final walkthrough.
Design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to final design approval, depending on project complexity and revision requests. We don’t rush this phase because getting the design right prevents problems during construction.
Installation timelines vary based on project scope, but we provide guaranteed start and completion dates once your design is approved. Most residential projects in Rio del Mar complete within 4-8 weeks, weather permitting.
Unlike many contractors, we commit to specific dates rather than vague timeframes. Our established relationships with suppliers and contractors allow us to schedule efficiently and avoid the delays that plague projects managed by less experienced companies.
We work with a network of vetted, licensed contractors who understand our design standards and coastal construction requirements. These aren’t random subcontractors—they’re established professionals we’ve worked with for years on Bay Area projects.
You can also choose to work with your own contractor if you prefer. In that case, we provide detailed construction drawings and specifications that any qualified contractor can follow. We also offer construction oversight services to ensure your design is installed correctly.
Either way, our project management ensures quality control and timeline adherence. We’ve found that our contractor relationships typically result in better pricing, faster completion, and fewer problems than working with unknown contractors.
