Your outdoor space becomes the extension of your home you’ve always wanted. No more staring at that tired yard wondering what’s possible. No more dealing with multiple contractors who don’t communicate.
Instead, you get a seamless experience from design to installation. Your neighbors notice the transformation immediately. Your property value increases significantly—professional landscaping adds up to $10,000 to your home’s worth.
You finally have the outdoor entertaining space, the curb appeal, and the peace of mind that comes with working with true professionals who’ve been perfecting our craft in the Bay Area for over five decades.
Since 1975, we’ve been transforming Mountain View properties with the kind of expertise that only comes from decades of local experience. We understand the unique challenges of Bay Area landscaping—from water restrictions to soil conditions to the specific tastes of Silicon Valley homeowners.
Our family-operated company has worked with executives from Apple, Yahoo, and the San Francisco 49ers, handling projects from $5,000 backyard refreshes to $4 million estate transformations. We average 100 designs and 90 installations annually, each one managed with the same attention to detail.
What sets us apart in Mountain View is our understanding of local regulations, especially the city’s Water Conservation in Landscaping requirements. We design beautiful, drought-tolerant landscapes that comply with regulations while reducing your water bills.
First, we visit your property for an in-depth consultation. We listen to your vision, assess your space, and discuss your lifestyle needs. No rushing, no pressure—just a thorough understanding of what you want to achieve.
Next comes the design phase where our 3D and CAD technology brings your ideas to life. You see exactly what your finished landscape will look like before we break ground. We refine the design until it perfectly matches your vision and budget.
Then we handle everything. Our vetted, licensed contractors begin installation while our project manager provides daily updates and oversees every detail. You get guaranteed start and completion dates—something almost unheard of in our industry. We coordinate all aspects so you deal with one point of contact, not multiple contractors.
Ready to get started?
As your landscape contractor in Mountain View, we handle everything from initial concept to final walkthrough. We specialize in hardscaping—patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and pergolas that create structure and functionality in your outdoor space.
Our irrigation systems are designed for Mountain View’s water conservation requirements, incorporating smart controllers and drought-tolerant plantings that thrive in our Mediterranean climate. We understand the local soil conditions and which plants perform best in our specific microclimate near the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Mountain View homeowners particularly appreciate our expertise with outdoor lighting systems that extend the usability of their spaces into the evening hours. Given the tech industry presence in our area, we often integrate smart home technology with landscape lighting and irrigation controls.
Every project includes comprehensive installation plans with dimensions, elevations, material specifications, and detailed notes—ensuring quality results and competitive bidding if you choose to work with other contractors.
Timeline depends on project scope, but we provide guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in our industry. A typical front yard renovation takes 1-2 weeks, while complete backyard transformations usually require 3-6 weeks.
Our design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks as we create detailed 3D renderings and CAD installation plans. We don’t rush this process because proper planning prevents delays during construction.
Weather rarely impacts our timeline in Mountain View’s mild climate, but we do schedule around the rainy season for optimal soil conditions and plant establishment.
Absolutely. We’re experts in Mountain View’s Water Conservation in Landscaping Regulations, updated in 2016. These apply to projects with 500+ square feet of new or modified landscaping requiring planning permits.
We design drought-tolerant landscapes using native and adapted plants that thrive with minimal water. Our irrigation systems incorporate smart controllers and efficient drip systems that can reduce water usage by up to 50%.
Many clients are surprised how beautiful water-wise landscaping can be. We create stunning designs using California natives, Mediterranean plants, and modern hardscaping that looks lush while using significantly less water than traditional lawns.
Everything from initial consultation through final project walkthrough. Your design package includes comprehensive CAD installation plans with dimensions, elevations, material lists, and detailed specifications.
If you choose our licensed contractors for installation, we provide complete project management with daily updates from our experienced project manager. You get one point of contact instead of coordinating multiple trades.
We handle permits, material ordering, scheduling, and quality control. Our contractors are fully licensed and insured, and we guarantee our work. The design cost is credited back if you use our installation team.
Investment varies significantly based on scope—we’ve handled projects from $5,000 to $4 million. A typical front yard renovation ranges from $15,000-$40,000, while complete backyard transformations often run $25,000-$75,000.
Mountain View’s high property values make landscaping investment particularly worthwhile. Professional landscaping can add $10,000 or more to your home’s value while providing immediate enjoyment and reduced maintenance.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates during our design process so you know exactly what you’re investing in before construction begins. No surprises, no change orders unless you request modifications.
We work with whatever makes sense for your goals and budget. Many Mountain View properties have mature trees or established hardscaping worth preserving and incorporating into new designs.
Our 3D design process shows how existing elements can be enhanced or integrated with new features. Sometimes a few strategic additions—new plantings, updated irrigation, accent lighting—can completely transform your space.
We’re honest about what’s worth keeping versus replacing. Our goal is creating the landscape you want within your budget, whether that’s a complete renovation or thoughtful enhancement of existing features.
Fifty years of Bay Area experience combined with guaranteed project timelines and complete project management. Most contractors leave you coordinating multiple trades—we handle everything with one point of contact.
Our 3D design technology lets you see your finished project before construction begins. We’ve worked with Silicon Valley executives who demand excellence and reliability, bringing that same standard to every project.
We understand Mountain View’s unique requirements, from water conservation regulations to soil conditions to the sophisticated tastes of local homeowners. Our family-operated company builds long-term relationships, not just landscapes.
