Lakota Design Group has been transforming Livermore properties since 1975. We’re not newcomers trying to figure out what works in the Bay Area climate.
We understand Livermore’s unique challenges—from water restrictions to soil conditions to local regulations. That’s why homeowners throughout the Tri-Valley trust us with their most important outdoor investments.
As a family-operated business, we’ve built our reputation on personal relationships and quality work. Every project gets the attention it deserves, whether you’re updating your front yard or creating a complete backyard retreat.
We start with an in-person consultation at your property. No phone estimates or satellite measurements. We need to see your space, understand your vision, and identify any challenges early.
Next comes the design phase using our 3D and CAD technology. You’ll see exactly what your project will look like before we break ground. No guessing, no surprises.
Once you approve the design, we coordinate everything with our licensed contractors. You get guaranteed start and completion dates—something most contractors won’t offer. We provide daily updates and direct project oversight, so you always know what’s happening and when.

Weather rarely delays projects in Livermore’s climate, but we do avoid working during the hottest summer days when possible. This protects both our crews and new plantings. Winter installation works well for hardscaping and irrigation, with planting scheduled for optimal growing seasons.
Absolutely. Many Livermore properties have challenging slopes that require specialized design and construction techniques. We have extensive experience with retaining walls, terraced landscapes, and erosion control solutions.
Sloped properties actually offer unique design opportunities. Terraced gardens, cascading water features, and multi-level outdoor living spaces can be stunning when designed properly. The key is working with contractors who understand proper drainage and structural requirements.
Our 3D design technology is especially valuable for sloped properties because it’s difficult to visualize the finished result from flat drawings. You’ll see exactly how the different levels will look and function before we begin construction.
We focus on design and construction rather than ongoing maintenance, but we work with trusted maintenance professionals who understand our installations. We can connect you with reliable landscape maintenance companies in Livermore.
Our designs prioritize low-maintenance plants and efficient irrigation systems to minimize your ongoing care requirements. Drought-tolerant landscapes need less water, fertilizer, and pruning than traditional designs.
We also provide detailed care instructions for your new landscape, including seasonal maintenance schedules, irrigation programming, and plant care guidelines. This helps you maintain your investment or communicate effectively with maintenance professionals you choose to hire.
