You’ll wake up to a landscape that works. No more weekend battles with overgrown plants or irrigation headaches. No more wondering if your investment will actually boost your property value.
Instead, you get a thoughtfully designed outdoor space that handles Burlingame’s climate beautifully. Water-efficient systems that slash your utility bills. Hardscaping that looks stunning year-round without constant upkeep.
Your neighbors notice. Your property value climbs. And you finally have the outdoor retreat you’ve been picturing—one that actually enhances your daily life instead of creating more work.
Since 1975, we’ve been the go-to landscape contractor for Burlingame homeowners who demand excellence. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects throughout the Bay Area, working with everyone from your next-door neighbor to Silicon Valley executives.
What sets us apart isn’t just our longevity—it’s how we’ve adapted to Burlingame’s unique needs. We understand the City of Trees’ microclimate, the local soil conditions, and what thrives here long-term.
Our family-operated approach means you work directly with decision-makers, not sales reps. When we commit to guaranteed start and completion dates, that’s our reputation on the line. And it’s a reputation we’ve protected for nearly half a century.
First, we listen. During your in-person consultation, we assess your property, understand your lifestyle, and capture exactly what you’re envisioning. No cookie-cutter solutions here.
Next comes the magic—our 3D design process. You’ll see your finished landscape before we plant a single shrub or lay one stone. We refine the design until it’s perfect, incorporating every detail you want while staying within your budget.
Then we handle everything. We coordinate with our vetted contractors, manage the timeline, and provide daily updates. You don’t lift a finger, but you’re never left wondering what’s happening. From permits to final cleanup, we own the entire process so you can focus on everything else in your life.

Every project we complete includes comprehensive design, professional installation, and ongoing support. You get detailed CAD plans that eliminate guesswork, 3D visualizations that show exactly what you’re investing in, and access to our network of licensed, insured contractors.
We specialize in Burlingame’s specific challenges—creating beautiful landscapes that thrive in our Mediterranean climate while meeting water conservation requirements. From drought-tolerant gardens to sophisticated irrigation systems, we design for both immediate impact and long-term sustainability.
Your project comes with guaranteed start and completion dates, something rare in our industry. We also provide complete project management, daily progress updates, and a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our standards. When you choose one of our recommended contractors for installation, your design is completely free.
Most residential landscape projects in Burlingame take 2-6 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope and complexity. Simple garden renovations might wrap up in a week, while complete property transformations with extensive hardscaping can take 6-8 weeks.
What makes us different is our guaranteed timeline commitment. Before we start, you’ll know exactly when we begin and when we’ll finish. We factor in everything—permits, material delivery, weather windows, and contractor availability.
We’ve completed over 5,000 Bay Area projects, so we understand how to navigate local requirements efficiently. No surprises, no endless delays, just professional execution on the schedule we promise.
Your design package includes everything needed for a successful installation. You get comprehensive CAD plans with dimensions, elevations, and detailed specifications. Plus two custom 3D videos—daytime and nighttime views—so you see exactly how your finished landscape will look.
We also provide complete plant and material lists, irrigation layouts, lighting plans, and drainage solutions. These detailed plans ensure contractors are bidding on identical specifications, which saves you money and prevents costly change orders.
The design process starts with an in-person site consultation where we assess your property’s unique conditions, discuss your vision, and understand your budget. Then we create multiple design options, refining everything until it perfectly matches what you want.
Yes, we manage all permitting and ensure full compliance with Burlingame’s requirements. Our team knows the local regulations inside and out—from setback requirements to tree preservation ordinances to water-efficient landscaping mandates.
We handle the paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure your project meets all city standards. This includes compliance with California’s water conservation requirements, which can include rebates for drought-tolerant installations.
Having worked in Burlingame for decades, we’ve built strong relationships with city planning staff. This means faster permit approvals and smoother project execution. You don’t need to worry about navigating bureaucracy—we handle that complexity for you.
Burlingame’s Mediterranean climate requires specific expertise, and we’ve been perfecting that approach for 50 years. We select plants that thrive in your microclimate—considering everything from fog patterns to soil drainage to seasonal temperature swings.
Our designs emphasize water efficiency without sacrificing beauty. We use drought-tolerant natives mixed with Mediterranean species that look lush but require minimal irrigation. Smart controller systems and efficient drip irrigation ensure your landscape stays healthy while meeting conservation requirements.
We also plan for year-round appeal. While many landscapes look great in spring but struggle in summer, ours are designed to maintain beauty through every season. That means selecting plants with varied bloom times, interesting textures, and foliage that provides structure when flowers fade.
We maintain a network of licensed, insured contractors who meet our quality standards. When you’re ready for installation, we get competitive bids from multiple contractors, ensuring you get fair pricing and quality work.
If you choose one of our recommended contractors, your design is free—they pay us for the design work. More importantly, we manage the entire installation process. Daily progress updates, quality control inspections, and direct communication with contractors so you don’t have to.
We’ve learned that homeowners want beautiful results without project management headaches. That’s why we stay involved from groundbreaking to final cleanup. You get professional oversight throughout the process, ensuring your project matches the design and timeline we promised.
Burlingame landscape projects typically range from $25,000 for focused garden renovations to $150,000+ for complete property transformations. The investment depends on your property size, design complexity, and material selections.
During our consultation, we’ll discuss your budget openly and design within those parameters. Our detailed CAD plans and specifications help contractors provide accurate bids, preventing cost overruns. We’ve found that investing in professional design upfront actually saves money by avoiding costly mistakes and change orders.
Remember that quality landscaping significantly boosts property values in Burlingame’s competitive market. Well-designed outdoor spaces often return 70-80% of their cost in increased home value, while also providing years of enjoyment and reduced maintenance compared to DIY approaches.
