Lakota Design Group delivers expert landscapers in Mountain View trusted by homeowners and businesses across Santa Clara County to design, build, and maintain high-performing outdoor spaces that last.
Mountain View homeowners invest heavily in their properties, and the outdoor space is no exception. As experienced landscapers in Mountain View, we handle projects where design precision, material quality, and installation accuracy directly affect long-term property value. From custom hardscaping to full yard transformations, every decision we make is grounded in what works for this specific market.
Mountain View landscaping comes with real site conditions: clay soil, water restrictions, and high buyer expectations. We build landscapes that meet all three.

We build detailed visual layouts mapping out your plants, hardscapes, and drainage systems before ground-breaking begins.
We oversee your entire project from permitting to final walk-through, keeping deadlines tight and budgets on track.
We build durable outdoor features, handling all structural grading, retaining walls, and heavy site development safely.
Our team lays low-maintenance artificial turf or high-efficiency natural sod engineered to reduce your monthly water bills.
Our field crews execute precise planting, soil preparation, and softscaping tailored specifically to the Silicon Valley climate.
We install low-voltage LED systems that improve night-time security, highlight architectural lines, and minimize energy consumption.
We lay interlocking concrete pavers for stable driveways, walkways, and patios that resist shifting under heavy foot traffic.

We provide scheduled mowing, aeration, and fertilization to keep your turf healthy, resilient, and clear of seasonal weeds.
Every landscaper in the Mountain View project we take on follows the same structured process, so you always know what is happening, what comes next, and what to expect at every stage.
We visit your site, evaluate soil conditions, existing grades, drainage, and your goals, then document everything needed to build an accurate proposal.
You receive a detailed scope, timeline, and material plan. If Mountain View city permits are required, we handle the filing and compliance paperwork on your behalf.
Our CSLB-licensed and fully insured crews begin work on schedule. You receive progress updates at each project milestone so there are no surprises on site or on budget.
We walk the completed project with you, cover care requirements for every installed element, and present ongoing maintenance programs if you want continued support.
In Santa Clara County’s competitive real estate market, professional landscape mountain view work consistently ranks among the highest-return home improvements a property owner can make. Our landscape architects, Mountain View team, design with resale value and long-term performance in mind, not just immediate appearance.
Most landscaping mistakes in Mountain View trace back to one cause: a contractor who did not understand the local conditions. As established landscapers in Mountain View, we know exactly what this market demands before a single shovel hits the ground.
Mountain View's heavy adobe clay drains poorly, which means every hardscape base and planting bed needs proper amendment and grading before installation begins.
With dry conditions running from May through October, a correctly designed drip or smart irrigation system is what keeps any landscape alive and SCVWD-compliant.
Old Mountain View's mature tree roots, Cuesta Park's larger lots, and the modern aesthetic demands near the Google and LinkedIn campuses all require different design and material approaches.
Properties closer to the Bay run cooler and foggier than inland neighborhoods, which directly affects which plants establish well and which irrigation schedules actually work.
Mountain View landscaping must work within California’s water use regulations, and every project we design accounts for Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) guidelines from the start. We install drip irrigation, smart controllers, and permeable hardscapes that reduce runoff and keep your property fully compliant year-round.
We select California native plants like Ceanothus, Salvia, and Manzanita that thrive in Bay Area conditions with minimal irrigation once established. This approach cuts long-term water costs while producing landscapes that stay healthy through Mountain View’s dry May-to-October season without constant maintenance.
Our landscapers in Mountain View serve Old Mountain View, Rex Manor, Cuesta Park, Martens-Carmelita, Waverly Park, North Whisman, Monta Loma, Stierlin Estates, and Sylvan Park, along with nearby cities including [Los Altos], [Sunnyvale], [Palo Alto], and [Cupertino]. Based in Bay Area, our crews are typically on-site in Mountain View within 2 business days of project confirmation.
Mountain View is a city of approximately 82,000 residents in Santa Clara County, situated between Bay Area and Palo Alto in the heart of Silicon Valley. It is home to major tech employers, including Google’s global headquarters at Googleplex, and its neighborhoods range from historic Craftsman homes in Old Mountain View to modern mixed-use developments near Castro Street.
The city sits at a low elevation near the southern end of San Francisco Bay, giving it a Mediterranean climate with mild winters, dry summers, and occasional Bay fog that influences local microclimates. Mountain View’s parks, trail networks along Stevens Creek, and strong community investment make it one of Santa Clara County’s most consistently desirable places to own property.

EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Google Sheila ReddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could have given more than 5 stars, I certainly would have. I have a beautiful wisteria plant that is supported by a pergola. The pergola was on its last legs, literally. I needed someone who would know how to save my wisteria and build a new pergola. Larry came and explained in detail what it would take to accomplish this. We signed a contract. Larry came with his workers, who were excellent, and, voila, I had a new, beautiful pergola. I was so pleased I asked Larry if his company did fences. Another contract, and I have a new fence. I am so pleased and grateful to Larry. Any work I need going forward and Larry and Lakota Design Group are my number one choice. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Michelle HoffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Larry and team did a fabulous job on our project--from design, to installation to completion. They also went above and beyond to ensure safe access to the house while the work was being done.Posted on Google Norm WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our backyard was established over 35 years with trees, roses, gardens, wooden decks, . and children play areas. Termites, wood rot, general earth movement took their toll. We wanted a safer, and cleaner design without impacting the mature gardens and established plants. We had no idea what we wanted. Lakota Design provided that insight. They inspected the backyard, asked questions,took pictures, provided an initial design, reviewed the design layout, provided an estimated cost, and revised the design based on the input. The final design was put out for bid. We selected Lola’s Landscape and associate of Lakota Design. The contractor and crew were knowledge, experienced, and friendly. Lakota Design continued to be present throughout the project. We ended up with what we wanted. It looks great, and it’s easier to maintain.Posted on Google Damon EnnisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
