No more staring at brown patches wondering why your irrigation system misses half the yard. No more explaining to neighbors why your landscape looks tired while theirs thrives.
You get a water-wise design that meets Hayward’s conservation requirements without sacrificing curb appeal. Smart irrigation that actually reaches every zone. Plant selections that handle the climate instead of fighting it.
Most importantly, you get outdoor space you’ll use. Morning coffee areas that aren’t scorching by 10 AM. Evening gathering spots with proper lighting. A landscape that enhances your property value instead of detracting from it.
We’ve been the Bay Area’s trusted landscape contractor since 1975. Over 5,000 completed projects. Our clients include Apple, Yahoo, and San Francisco 49ers executives.
That level of trust doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from understanding Hayward’s specific challenges—water conservation requirements, soil conditions, and homeowners who expect landscapes that protect their investment.
We’ve navigated these local requirements for decades. Drought-tolerant designs that qualify for city rebates. Irrigation systems that work with Hayward’s water restrictions. Construction that adds value to properties already worth protecting.
Your project starts with an in-person site consultation. We assess your property’s specific conditions—drainage, sun exposure, soil type—and listen to your goals without pushing generic solutions.
Design comes next using 3D visualization technology. You see exactly what your finished landscape will look like, day and night views included. No surprises, no guesswork. Changes happen on screen, not after construction starts.
Installation is handled by our vetted contractor network with us managing every detail. Daily progress updates. Guaranteed start and completion dates. Your job is approving the final walkthrough, not coordinating between different teams or wondering when work will actually finish.

You receive comprehensive CAD installation plans with every dimension, elevation, and specification documented. This means contractors bid on identical projects instead of making assumptions that cost you later.
Hayward’s water conservation requirements aren’t optional. Our drought-tolerant designs meet city standards while maintaining the aesthetic expectations of a community where median home values exceed $850,000. Plants that thrive, not just survive.
The design-build approach eliminates coordination headaches. One team handles everything from initial concepts through final installation. If you use our recommended contractors, design costs are covered—our contractors pay us, not you.
Most residential landscape projects in Hayward are completed within 2-4 weeks, depending on project scope and weather conditions. Timeline varies based on design complexity and property size.
We provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—uncommon in the landscape industry. This commitment comes from 50+ years of project management experience and working with our established contractor network.
Weather impacts are factored into initial scheduling, particularly during Hayward’s rainy season. Any timeline adjustments are communicated immediately with updated completion guarantees provided.
The design-build model with included project management eliminates the coordination nightmare of working with separate designers and contractors. You deal with one team from start to finish.
3D visualization technology shows your exact finished landscape before any work begins. Day and night views prevent surprises and ensure complete satisfaction with the design before construction starts.
If you use our vetted contractors for installation, design work is free. Our contractors compensate us for design services, which means you receive professional landscape architecture at no additional cost when moving forward with construction.

Hayward residents receive up to $0.75 per square foot in rebates for converting traditional lawns to drought-tolerant landscaping. We handle pre-approval processes and ensure designs qualify for these financial incentives.
Water-wise doesn’t mean aesthetically compromised. After five decades in the Bay Area, we know exactly which plants and design elements create stunning landscapes while meeting conservation requirements and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
The consultation includes comprehensive site evaluation assessing your property’s unique characteristics—soil conditions, drainage patterns, sun exposure, existing features, and potential challenges.
We discuss your lifestyle requirements, aesthetic preferences, and budget parameters. This is collaborative planning, not a sales presentation. The goal is understanding your vision and identifying any obstacles before design work begins.
You receive detailed project timelines, accurate budget estimates, and clear next steps. If you decide to proceed, we begin 3D design visualization to bring your concepts to life before any construction activity starts.
