Picture walking out your back door into a stunning landscape that feels like a natural extension of your home. No more staring at that tired yard wondering what could be.
Your neighbors will notice the transformation immediately. Property values in Saratoga increase by 15-20% with professional landscaping, but the real value is in how you’ll actually use your outdoor space.
Whether you want a peaceful morning coffee spot, an entertaining area for weekend gatherings, or a low-maintenance retreat that looks amazing year-round, we design landscapes that work for your specific lifestyle and Saratoga’s unique climate.
Since 1975, we’ve been creating exceptional landscapes throughout the Bay Area. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects and worked with everyone from Silicon Valley executives to families who just want their yard to finally work for them.
What sets us apart in Saratoga is our deep understanding of the local terrain challenges—from hillside properties to microclimates to the city’s strict tree regulations. We know which plants thrive here and which materials hold up to our unique weather patterns.
Our clients choose us because we handle everything from the initial 3D design through project completion, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors or wonder if your vision will actually become reality.
We start with an on-site consultation where we listen to your vision, assess your property’s unique characteristics, and understand how you want to use your outdoor space. No cookie-cutter approaches here.
Next, we create detailed 3D renderings and animated videos so you can see exactly what your finished landscape will look like before any construction begins. Most clients are amazed at how realistic these visualizations are—you’ll know if you love it before we break ground.
Once you approve the design, we handle everything: permits, contractor coordination, daily project management, and quality control. You get regular updates and can watch your vision come to life without the typical construction headaches. Most projects are completed faster than you’d expect, with many finishing ahead of schedule.
Ready to get started?
Every Saratoga landscape project includes comprehensive site surveys, detailed CAD installation plans, plant and material specifications, and our signature 3D design visualizations. We’re not just drawing pretty pictures—we’re creating buildable plans that contractors can execute flawlessly.
Our designs specifically address Saratoga’s challenges: drought-tolerant plant selections that still look lush, proper drainage for hillside properties, and compliance with local tree protection ordinances. We integrate smart irrigation systems that conserve water while keeping your landscape healthy.
The best part? If you choose one of our vetted contractors for installation, your design cost is completely refunded. We’ve built relationships with the best landscape contractors in the area, so you get quality work at competitive prices while we ensure your design is executed exactly as planned.
Most landscape design projects in Saratoga take 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to final design approval. This includes our on-site survey, design development, 3D rendering creation, and any revisions you request.
The installation timeline depends on your project scope, but we’re known for completing projects faster than most companies. Many of our Saratoga clients are surprised when their landscape installation finishes ahead of schedule—sometimes in as little as 8 days for moderate-sized projects.
We provide guaranteed start and completion dates, which is rare in our industry. You’ll know exactly when your project begins and when you can start enjoying your new outdoor space.
Saratoga’s Mediterranean climate and periodic drought conditions require strategic plant selection. We specialize in drought-tolerant native California plants that look beautiful while using minimal water once established.
Popular choices include lavender, California poppies, manzanita, native grasses, and succulents. For trees, we often recommend oak species and other natives that thrive in Saratoga’s microclimates. These plants support local wildlife while reducing your water bills.
The key is proper plant placement based on your property’s sun exposure, soil conditions, and existing mature trees. We design irrigation zones that deliver the right amount of water to each plant type, ensuring everything thrives while staying water-wise.
Yes, we’re fully familiar with Saratoga’s strict tree protection ordinances and handle all permit requirements. The city requires permits for removing protected trees or pruning more than 25% of a protected tree’s canopy, and violations can be costly.
We conduct thorough site assessments to identify protected trees and design around them when possible. When tree removal is necessary, we handle the permit application process and work with certified arborists to ensure compliance.
Our local expertise saves you from potential violations and delays. We know which trees are protected, what the city requires for permits, and how to design landscapes that work with Saratoga’s environmental regulations rather than against them.
Landscape design costs in Saratoga vary based on project complexity, but our comprehensive design packages include everything you need: site surveys, 3D renderings, CAD installation plans, plant specifications, and project management coordination.
Here’s what makes our pricing unique: if you choose one of our vetted contractors for installation, we refund your entire design fee. This means you get professional design services essentially free when you move forward with construction.
Even if you decide to use a different contractor, our detailed CAD plans ensure you get competitive bids and avoid costly construction errors. Many clients tell us our thorough planning actually saved them money during installation because everything was clearly specified upfront.
Absolutely. Many Saratoga properties have beautiful mature trees, existing hardscape, or features worth preserving. We specialize in designing around these elements rather than starting from scratch.
Our site assessment identifies what’s worth keeping, what can be enhanced, and what should be replaced. We often incorporate existing trees into new designs, using them as focal points or natural shade structures for outdoor living areas.
For example, we might design a patio that takes advantage of shade from your existing oak tree, or create planting beds that complement mature landscaping while adding color and interest. This approach often saves money while creating more cohesive, established-looking results.
Our 3D design service creates photorealistic renderings and animated videos that show exactly how your finished landscape will look. You’ll see your property from multiple angles, during different seasons, and even at different times of day.
The animated videos include soundtracks, moving elements like water features, and special effects that bring the design to life. These aren’t basic sketches—they’re detailed visualizations that help you understand how each element works together.
Most clients say the 3D visualizations were crucial in their decision-making process. You can see if you love the design before construction begins, request changes while they’re still easy to make, and share the vision with family members who weren’t part of the initial consultation.
