We’ve been transforming Bay Area properties since 1975. Over 5,000 completed projects, from Silicon Valley executives to Ashland families who just want their backyard to work better.
Family-operated means you’re not dealing with corporate bureaucracy or revolving door project managers. The same team that designs your space manages the entire installation—and we’ve been doing this long enough to anticipate problems before they happen.

Ready to get started?
Your landscape construction includes drought-tolerant plant selection specifically chosen for Ashland’s microclimate. Native species that thrive here naturally, reducing maintenance and water costs while supporting local ecosystems.
Smart irrigation systems designed to maximize efficiency during California’s inevitable dry periods. Hardscaping elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls use materials that handle temperature swings and seismic activity common in our region.
Every installation comes with comprehensive CAD plans that ensure contractors bid accurately and build correctly. This means fewer change orders, better timeline adherence, and results that match your expectations exactly.
Most residential landscape projects in Ashland take 1-3 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope and complexity. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—something rare in this industry.
Weather delays can extend timelines, but we build buffer time into our schedules. Our project management system sends daily updates so you always know exactly where things stand.
The key difference is our preparation phase. Because we handle all design work and contractor coordination before breaking ground, installation moves efficiently without the stops and starts that plague most landscape projects.
We use 3D modeling and CAD technology to show you exactly what your finished landscape will look like before construction begins. No guesswork, no surprises, no “trust me, it’ll look great” conversations.
Our designs prioritize California’s drought conditions and Ashland’s specific climate challenges. Plants are selected for long-term success here, not just immediate visual impact.
Every design includes comprehensive installation plans that eliminate contractor confusion and change orders. This approach reduces costs, improves quality, and keeps projects on schedule—benefits you’ll appreciate throughout the entire process.
Yes, we manage all permitting requirements and contractor coordination from start to finish. You deal with one point of contact—our project manager—instead of juggling multiple vendors and schedules.
Our network includes vetted contractors who understand our standards and installation methods. They’re familiar with Ashland’s local requirements and have proven track records on similar projects.
If you choose one of our recommended contractors for installation, your design cost gets refunded since they pay us directly. This arrangement ensures quality control while saving you money on the overall project.
The consultation includes an on-site property survey, soil analysis, drainage assessment, and detailed discussion of your goals and budget. We examine sun exposure patterns, existing vegetation, and any site challenges that affect design options.
You’ll receive multiple 3D renderings showing different design approaches, plus detailed plant and material lists with cost breakdowns. We also provide animated videos that let you “walk through” your future landscape.
The consultation process typically takes 2-3 weeks from initial visit to final design presentation. Three free revisions are included, so the final design truly matches your vision before any construction begins.
Plant selection focuses on California natives and drought-tolerant species that naturally thrive in Ashland’s climate conditions. These plants establish deeper root systems and require significantly less supplemental watering once established.
Smart irrigation systems use weather data and soil moisture sensors to optimize watering schedules automatically. This prevents overwatering while ensuring plants receive adequate moisture during establishment and dry periods.
Hardscape elements and mulching strategies help retain soil moisture and reduce evaporation. The combination creates landscapes that remain attractive during drought years while qualifying for local water conservation rebates that offset installation costs.
We provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee backed by 50 years of reputation and over 5,000 completed projects. If any aspect of the installation doesn’t match the approved design specifications, we make it right at no additional cost.
Our quality control process includes multiple checkpoints during installation and a final walkthrough before project completion. Any issues get addressed immediately, not weeks later when they’re more expensive to fix.
The guarantee covers both design execution and plant establishment. If properly installed plants fail to thrive within the first growing season due to our selection or installation methods, we replace them without charge.
