For nearly five decades, we’ve been the landscape contractor of choice for Atherton’s most discerning property owners. We understand what it takes to create outdoor spaces worthy of your investment.
Our family-operated business has completed over 5,000 projects across the Bay Area, working with everyone from Silicon Valley executives to professional athletes. We know Atherton’s unique climate challenges, from the dry conditions requiring water-wise plantings to the large estate properties that demand sophisticated design solutions.
What sets us apart isn’t just our experience—it’s our commitment to treating every project like it’s our own family’s property. You get guaranteed start and completion dates, daily project updates, and the kind of personal attention that builds lifelong relationships.
We start with an in-person consultation at your property, where we listen carefully to your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s about understanding exactly what you want your outdoor space to become.
Next, we create detailed 3D renderings and CAD plans that bring your ideas to life before we break ground. You’ll see every detail, from plant selections to hardscape materials, ensuring we’re perfectly aligned before construction begins.
During installation, our experienced project manager provides daily updates and oversees every aspect of the work. We coordinate all trades, handle permits, and ensure quality at every step. You never have to manage contractors or worry about whether things are progressing correctly.
Ready to get started?
Your landscape construction project includes everything from initial design through final installation. We handle hardscaping, softscaping, irrigation systems, outdoor lighting, and all the details that create cohesive, stunning results.
Atherton’s unique requirements demand specialized expertise. We design for your property’s specific microclimate, incorporating drought-resistant California natives that thrive in our 17-inch annual rainfall. Every plant selection considers both beauty and water efficiency.
Our comprehensive approach means you work with one team throughout the entire process. No juggling multiple contractors or wondering who’s responsible for what. We manage permits, coordinate utilities, and ensure every element integrates perfectly with your home’s architecture and your family’s lifestyle.
Most residential landscape projects in Atherton take 4-8 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope and complexity. We’re one of the few contractors who guarantee both start and completion dates because we understand how important timing is for your family.
Large estate projects with extensive hardscaping, pools, or complex grading may take 10-12 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during the design phase and stick to them. Our project managers coordinate all trades and handle any permitting requirements with the Town of Atherton to keep things moving smoothly.
Weather rarely delays projects here thanks to our mild climate, but we build realistic schedules that account for any potential issues. You’ll know exactly when work begins and when you can start enjoying your new outdoor space.
Atherton’s unique characteristics require specialized design expertise that most contractors simply don’t have. Your property likely sits on an acre or more, which means we’re creating outdoor environments that feel cohesive across large spaces while serving multiple functions.
The climate presents specific challenges—we get only 17 inches of rain annually, so water-wise design isn’t optional, it’s essential. We select plants that thrive in Mediterranean conditions while maintaining the lush, sophisticated look that Atherton properties deserve.
Privacy is another critical factor. With property values averaging nearly $8 million, your landscape design must provide appropriate screening and create intimate spaces within your larger estate. We understand how to balance openness with privacy, using mature plantings and strategic hardscaping to achieve both.
Absolutely. We handle all permitting and ensure full compliance with Atherton’s municipal requirements, including tree preservation ordinances and setback regulations. Our decades of local experience mean we know exactly what the town expects.
Atherton has specific rules about heritage tree protection, drainage, and construction that can trip up inexperienced contractors. We work directly with town planning staff to ensure your project meets all requirements without delays or costly revisions.
We also coordinate with HOA requirements if your property is in a neighborhood with additional restrictions. Our goal is to make the entire process seamless for you while ensuring every aspect of your project meets or exceeds local standards.
Our plant selections are based on 50 years of experience with San Mateo County’s specific microclimate conditions. We choose California natives and Mediterranean species that naturally thrive with minimal water while providing year-round beauty.
Every design incorporates smart irrigation systems that deliver water efficiently to root zones while minimizing waste. We understand soil conditions throughout Atherton and amend as needed to ensure optimal growing conditions for each plant type.
We also consider your property’s specific exposure, drainage patterns, and microclimates. A plant that thrives in one area of your estate might struggle in another, so we match each selection to its optimal location. This attention to detail means your landscape looks better each year rather than struggling to survive.
Our project management service means you have a single point of contact who oversees every aspect of your landscape construction. Your dedicated project manager coordinates all trades, handles scheduling, manages quality control, and provides daily updates on progress.
You’ll receive regular photo updates showing work completed, upcoming milestones, and any decisions that need your input. We handle all contractor coordination, material deliveries, and site management so you never have to deal with the complexity of managing multiple teams.
Most importantly, your project manager ensures quality at every step. We catch and correct issues before they become problems, maintain clean job sites, and ensure work meets our exacting standards. This level of oversight is rare in the landscape industry but essential for the results you expect.
We prevent cost overruns through detailed planning and comprehensive contracts that clearly define scope, materials, and pricing. Our 3D design process and detailed CAD plans eliminate surprises because you see exactly what you’re getting before construction begins.
If you want to make changes during construction, we provide written change orders with clear pricing before proceeding with any additional work. No surprises, no hidden costs, no work proceeding without your explicit approval.
Our decades of experience mean we accurately estimate project costs from the beginning. We build realistic budgets that account for site conditions, permit requirements, and material costs. This upfront investment in planning protects you from the cost overruns that plague many landscape projects.
