You’re not looking for another headache. You want a landscape that works with North Fair Oaks’ unique climate, fits your lifestyle, and actually increases your property value.
That means drought-smart plant selections that thrive in our Mediterranean-like microclimate. Water-efficient irrigation systems that work with Bay Area restrictions, not against them. And outdoor spaces designed for the way you actually live—whether that’s entertaining clients or creating a peaceful retreat after long days in Silicon Valley.
When your landscape is done right, maintenance becomes simple. Your water bills stay reasonable. And your neighbors start asking who did the work.
Since 1975, Lakota Design Group has been designing landscapes that work specifically for North Fair Oaks homeowners. We understand the unique challenges of your area—from water restrictions to fire safety concerns to the specific soil and climate conditions that make some plants thrive while others struggle.
Unlike contractors who treat every yard the same, we design for your specific microclimate. North Fair Oaks enjoys that rare Mediterranean-like weather pattern that most of California envies, and we know exactly which plants and design elements take advantage of it.
Our family-operated approach means you work with the same team from start to finish. No surprises, no handoffs to subcontractors who don’t know your vision.
First, we listen. Your initial consultation covers your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget parameters. We assess your property’s unique conditions—soil, drainage, sun patterns, and existing features worth keeping.
Next comes the design phase where our 3D technology shows you exactly what your completed landscape will look like. You’ll see animated walkthroughs with realistic plant growth, lighting effects, and seasonal changes. No guessing, no hoping it turns out right.
Construction begins only after you’re completely satisfied with the design. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates—rare in our industry—with daily progress updates. Our project manager oversees every detail, ensuring quality and timeline adherence from the first shovel to final cleanup.

Your landscape design includes comprehensive planning for North Fair Oaks’ specific conditions. We integrate fire-resistant plantings that meet county defensible space requirements while maintaining beauty. Smart irrigation systems reduce water usage by up to 40% compared to traditional sprinkler systems.
Hardscape elements—patios, walkways, retaining walls—are designed to complement your home’s architecture and the area’s Mediterranean climate. We source materials that age well in coastal conditions and require minimal maintenance over time.
North Fair Oaks residents particularly benefit from our expertise with multi-functional outdoor spaces. Given your area’s year-round mild weather and proximity to Silicon Valley’s entertainment culture, we design outdoor kitchens, dining areas, and gathering spaces that extend your living area and increase property value.
We specialize in water-smart design that actually looks better than traditional landscapes. Our approach starts with native and Mediterranean plants that naturally thrive in your microclimate with minimal irrigation.
Smart irrigation systems use weather data and soil moisture sensors to deliver water only when needed. This typically reduces water usage by 30-50% compared to conventional sprinkler systems. We also integrate permeable hardscaping and rain capture features that make the most of North Fair Oaks’ seasonal rainfall patterns.
The result is a landscape that stays green and beautiful year-round while keeping your water bills reasonable and meeting all county conservation requirements.
Most landscape companies show you flat drawings or basic sketches that leave too much to imagination. Our 3D animation technology creates realistic walkthroughs of your completed landscape, including how plants will look as they mature over time.
You’ll see your landscape in different seasons, at various times of day, and with realistic lighting effects. This eliminates the guesswork and costly changes that happen when homeowners can’t visualize the final result from traditional plans.
Each design includes multiple options and revisions until you’re completely satisfied. The 3D visualization becomes your construction blueprint, ensuring the installed landscape matches exactly what you approved.
Absolutely. Fire-safe landscaping is integrated into every North Fair Oaks design we create. We understand San Mateo County’s defensible space requirements and design landscapes that enhance safety without sacrificing beauty.
This includes strategic plant placement, fire-resistant species selection, and proper spacing around structures. We use hardscaping elements like gravel pathways and stone features to create natural firebreaks while maintaining attractive design flow.
Our irrigation systems also include zones specifically designed to keep defensible space areas properly hydrated during high-risk periods, giving you both compliance and peace of mind during fire season.
We provide guaranteed start and completion dates because we control every aspect of the process. Unlike companies that juggle multiple subcontractors, we work with our own vetted installation teams who know our standards and scheduling requirements.
Project scheduling begins during the design phase, with realistic timelines based on your specific scope and seasonal considerations. Weather delays and permit requirements are built into the timeline, not treated as surprises.
Daily progress updates keep you informed, and our project manager is on-site regularly to ensure work stays on track. If we encounter unexpected conditions, we communicate immediately with revised timelines rather than leaving you wondering what’s happening.
Your complete service includes initial consultation, site analysis, 3D design development with unlimited revisions, construction management, and post-installation support. The design phase covers plant selection, hardscaping, irrigation planning, lighting design, and integration with existing structures.
Installation includes all construction work, from soil preparation and grading to final plant installation and system testing. We handle permit requirements, utility coordination, and cleanup. Your irrigation system comes with smart controllers and weather sensors for optimal efficiency.
Post-installation includes plant establishment monitoring, system adjustments, and seasonal maintenance guidance. We also provide care instructions specific to your plant selections and local climate conditions, ensuring your investment thrives for years to come.
Landscape design investment varies based on scope, site conditions, and material selections. Most North Fair Oaks residential projects range from comprehensive front yard redesigns to complete property transformations including outdoor living areas.
We provide transparent pricing during the consultation phase, with detailed breakdowns of design, materials, and installation costs. Our 3D visualization process ensures you see exactly what you’re investing in before construction begins, eliminating surprise costs.
Design fees are credited back when you proceed with our installation services. We also offer phased installation options, allowing you to complete your landscape vision over time while maintaining design continuity and cost control.
