Since 1975, we’ve been the Bay Area’s go-to landscape contractor for homeowners who expect more than empty promises. Family-operated and locally focused, we understand what Foster City residents actually need.
This isn’t about being the cheapest option. It’s about being the right one. Licensed, bonded, and insured with the C-27 contractor credentials that protect your investment.
Foster City’s unique waterfront lifestyle demands outdoor spaces that work as hard as you do. We get that. Whether you’re dealing with the city’s specific soil conditions, navigating local building requirements, or designing around the Bay Area’s fire and drought concerns, we’ve solved these challenges thousands of times before.
First, you get a real consultation. On-site, in-person, with someone who listens to what you actually want rather than pushing a cookie-cutter solution. We assess your space, understand your lifestyle, and discuss your timeline and budget honestly.
Next comes the design phase where 3D and CAD technology shows you exactly what you’re getting before any construction begins. No surprises, no “trust us” moments. You see your finished project before the first shovel hits the ground.
Then construction starts with guaranteed timelines and daily updates. Not weekly check-ins or radio silence—actual daily communication about progress, any issues, and next steps. Our project manager stays in direct contact throughout the entire process.
Finally, you get the walkthrough and handoff. Every detail inspected, every element explained, and complete satisfaction confirmed before the job is considered finished.

Complete landscape design and construction services tailored specifically for Foster City’s unique environment. This means understanding local soil conditions, working with the city’s building requirements, and designing around the Bay Area’s specific climate challenges.
Hardscaping includes patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fire features built to California’s seismic and fire safety standards. Softscaping covers drought-tolerant plant selection, irrigation systems that comply with water restrictions, and maintenance plans that actually work.
Foster City’s waterfront location creates specific challenges that generic contractors miss. Salt air considerations, wind patterns from the Bay, and the city’s unique soil composition all factor into proper landscape design. The elevation changes throughout Foster City neighborhoods require expertise in drainage and grading that prevent the water intrusion issues many residents face.
Every project includes the permits, inspections, and compliance documentation required by San Mateo County and Foster City specifically. This isn’t just about making it look good—it’s about making it last and protecting your investment.
Most residential landscape projects in Foster City take 2-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope and complexity. However, the key difference is that you get guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—something most contractors won’t commit to.
Weather delays can extend timelines, but Foster City’s mild climate allows year-round construction with minimal weather-related interruptions. The bigger factor is usually permit approval times, which vary based on project scope.
You’ll know your exact timeline before signing any contract, and you’ll get daily updates on progress throughout the project. No guessing, no wondering when crews will show up, no surprise delays that drag projects out for months.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits as part of our service. Foster City has specific requirements for landscape construction, especially for projects involving grading, drainage, or structures like retaining walls and outdoor kitchens.
San Mateo County building permits are required for many hardscaping elements, and the city has additional landscape ordinances related to water usage and fire safety. These aren’t optional—they’re legal requirements that protect your investment and ensure compliance.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks for standard projects, though more complex designs may require additional review time. All permit costs are included in your project estimate upfront, so there are no surprise fees or delays waiting for approvals.
Foster City sits in a unique microclimate with Bay winds, salt air, and specific soil conditions that require specialized design approaches. Plus, California’s increasingly strict water and fire regulations demand expertise most contractors simply don’t have.
All our plant selections are drought-tolerant and fire-resistant, meeting both California’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and Cal Fire’s defensible space requirements. Our irrigation systems include smart controllers and water-efficient designs that comply with current restrictions and prepare for future regulations.
The Bay Area’s seismic activity also requires specific construction techniques for hardscaping elements. We engineer retaining walls, patios, and outdoor structures to meet California’s seismic standards, ensuring your investment remains stable and safe long-term.
We provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront, backed by detailed project planning and dedicated crew scheduling. This isn’t a loose estimate—it’s a commitment that’s rarely offered in the landscape industry.
Daily communication keeps you informed of progress, any issues encountered, and next-day plans. Our project manager maintains direct contact throughout construction, so you’re never wondering what’s happening or when crews will arrive.
Budget protection comes from detailed upfront estimates that include all permits, materials, and labor costs. Change orders are discussed and approved before any additional work begins, preventing surprise costs that derail project budgets.
Yes, we hold a current C-27 Landscape Contractor license through the California Contractors State License Board, which is required for any landscape project over $500 in California. This license requires rigorous testing, experience verification, and ongoing compliance.
Full bonding and insurance coverage protects both your property and our workers during construction. The required $25,000 contractor bond and comprehensive liability insurance ensure you’re protected from any issues that might arise during your project.
All licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation is available for review before any work begins. This isn’t just about legal compliance—it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring you’re working with a legitimate, professional contractor.
Our design process starts with an in-person site consultation where actual needs, preferences, and lifestyle requirements are discussed in detail. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a planning session to understand exactly what you want to achieve.
3D and CAD technology creates detailed visualizations showing exactly how your finished project will look. You see plant selections, hardscaping elements, lighting effects, and overall design before any construction begins, eliminating surprises and ensuring satisfaction.
All our designs account for Foster City’s specific conditions including soil type, drainage requirements, local building codes, and HOA restrictions if applicable. The design phase typically takes 1-2 weeks and includes multiple revisions to ensure the final plan meets your exact specifications.
