You finally have an outdoor space that makes you proud every time you pull into your driveway. No more looking at that tired front yard or backyard that never quite came together the way you envisioned.
Your landscape becomes the neighborhood standout—the one that actually complements your home’s architecture instead of fighting against it. Friends and family notice the difference immediately, and you get to enjoy outdoor living spaces designed specifically for how you actually use them.
Property values increase, maintenance headaches disappear, and you spend weekends relaxing in your yard instead of stressing about what needs fixing. Every element works together seamlessly because it was planned by professionals who understand both Pleasanton’s unique climate and your lifestyle needs.
Lakota Design Group has been transforming Pleasanton properties since 1975. As a family-operated business, we understand what makes Bay Area homeowners tick—and what it takes to create landscapes that thrive in this specific climate.
Our team knows Pleasanton’s soil conditions, water restrictions, and seasonal challenges inside and out. More importantly, we understand the expectations of discerning homeowners in one of California’s most affluent communities.
With two vetted and licensed landscape contractors who’ve completed hundreds of installations across the Bay Area, we deliver the kind of quality and reliability that Pleasanton residents expect. Every project comes with guaranteed start and completion dates—something almost unheard of in the landscaping industry.
Everything starts with an in-person consultation at your property. We listen to your vision, assess your space, and understand how you actually want to use your outdoor areas.
Next comes the design phase using cutting-edge 3D and CAD technology. You’ll see exactly what your finished landscape will look like before any work begins. We create multiple options and work with you until the design perfectly matches your goals.
Once you approve the design, our licensed contractors handle the installation while our project manager provides daily updates and direct oversight. You don’t have to coordinate with multiple vendors or worry about timeline delays—we manage every detail from start to finish. Most projects finish ahead of schedule, and you get a final walkthrough to ensure everything exceeds your expectations.
