Your backyard should work as hard as you do. Not just look pretty for the first month, then become another headache on your to-do list.
When we’re done, you get outdoor living that enhances your daily life. Morning coffee on a patio that actually catches the right light. Evening entertaining in spaces designed for real conversation, not just Instagram photos. Landscaping that thrives in Menlo Park’s Mediterranean climate without constant maintenance or water waste.
The kind of outdoor space that makes you want to spend time outside—and adds serious value when it’s time to sell.
Since 1975, we’ve been creating custom landscapes throughout the Bay Area. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects, working with everyone from tech executives at Apple and Yahoo to San Francisco 49ers players.
What sets us apart in Menlo Park isn’t just our experience—it’s our understanding of what busy, successful people actually need. You don’t have time to manage contractors or guess what your finished project will look like. That’s why we handle everything from 3D design visualization to daily project updates.
We know Menlo Park’s unique microclimates, soil conditions, and neighborhood aesthetics. More importantly, we know how to deliver on time and on budget—something that’s become rare in our industry.
We start with an on-site consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle needs, and budget. No generic solutions—every design is custom-created for your specific property and goals.
Next comes our 3D design process. You’ll see exactly what your finished landscape will look like through detailed renderings and animated videos. We provide comprehensive CAD installation plans that eliminate guesswork and ensure accurate bidding from contractors.
Once you approve the design, we manage the entire installation process. We work with vetted contractors who meet our standards for quality and reliability. You get daily updates, guaranteed timelines, and direct oversight from our project manager. When you use one of our recommended contractors, your design fee is completely refunded.
Ready to get started?
Your landscape design package includes everything needed for successful installation: detailed 3D renderings, animated project videos, comprehensive CAD plans with dimensions and specifications, plant and material lists, and full project management services.
In Menlo Park, we specialize in designs that work with our Mediterranean climate—warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Think drought-tolerant native plantings, efficient irrigation systems, and hardscaping that handles seasonal weather changes. We integrate mature trees like redwoods, oaks, and eucalyptus that define many Menlo Park properties.
Popular features for Menlo Park clients include outdoor kitchens for year-round entertaining, fire pits for cool evenings, pergolas for shade during summer months, and water-wise gardens that stay beautiful without constant maintenance. Every element is designed to enhance your property value while creating spaces you’ll actually use.
Landscape design costs in Menlo Park vary based on project scope, property size, and complexity. Our design packages typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 for comprehensive services including 3D renderings, animated videos, and CAD installation plans.
However, if you choose one of our vetted contractors for installation, your design fee is completely refunded—they pay us directly. This means you get professional design services at no cost when you move forward with construction.
The investment in proper design typically saves money during installation by preventing costly mistakes, ensuring accurate contractor bids, and creating a finished result that adds significant property value to your Menlo Park home.
Our 3D design process gives you complete visualization of your finished landscape before any work begins. You receive 20+ detailed 3D renderings showing different angles and seasons, plus an animated video tour with soundtrack and special effects.
The package also includes comprehensive CAD installation plans with exact dimensions, elevations, plant specifications, irrigation layouts, lighting plans, and material quantities. These detailed plans ensure contractors can bid accurately and build exactly what you’ve approved.
We also provide plant and material lists, three free design revisions, and connections to our network of vetted contractors. Everything is delivered digitally so you can easily share plans with contractors or use them for permits if needed.
Our design process typically takes 2-4 weeks from initial consultation to final plans, depending on project complexity and revision requests. We start with an on-site survey and consultation, then create initial 3D concepts within one week.
After you review the initial designs, we incorporate your feedback and provide revised renderings. Most clients need 1-2 revision rounds before finalizing their design. Once approved, we deliver all final materials including CAD plans, 3D renderings, and animated videos.
If you’re ready to move forward with installation, we can connect you with contractors immediately. Our vetted contractor network means you won’t waste time finding qualified installers—they’re already familiar with our plans and standards.
We focus on design but manage the entire installation process through our network of licensed, vetted contractors. This gives you the best of both worlds—expert design combined with skilled installation, all under one management umbrella.
We handle contractor selection, bid coordination, timeline management, and quality oversight. You get daily project updates and direct communication with our project manager throughout construction. We ensure work meets our standards and stays on schedule.
This approach means you don’t have to research contractors, manage multiple vendors, or worry about whether installers understand the design intent. Everything is coordinated seamlessly from start to finish.
Menlo Park’s Mediterranean climate—with warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters—requires specific design considerations that we’ve mastered over 50 years in the Bay Area. We select plants that thrive naturally in these conditions, reducing water needs and maintenance requirements.
Our designs incorporate drought-tolerant natives, efficient irrigation systems, and hardscaping materials that handle temperature fluctuations. We understand local microclimates, from foggy coastal influences to warmer inland areas, and design accordingly.
We also work with existing mature trees common in Menlo Park—redwoods, oaks, eucalyptus—integrating them into new designs rather than removing established landscape features. This approach creates landscapes that feel natural to the area while meeting modern outdoor living needs.
We provide guaranteed start and completion dates for every project—something rare in the landscape industry. Once we finalize your design and connect you with contractors, we establish firm timelines that everyone commits to meeting.
If delays occur due to our contractors, we work directly with them to get projects back on schedule. Our project management includes daily oversight and regular communication to catch potential issues before they become delays.
Weather can occasionally impact outdoor work, but we plan for seasonal considerations upfront. Our contractors understand Menlo Park’s climate patterns and schedule work during optimal windows. You’ll know exactly when your project starts and when you can start enjoying your new outdoor space.
