Boulder Creek homeowners face unique challenges—steep terrain, drought conditions, and strict water regulations. We’ve been solving these problems for decades, creating landscapes that thrive in your microclimate while meeting every local requirement.
Family-operated and locally focused, we understand what works in your neighborhood. From the redwoods to the valley floor, we know which plants survive your specific conditions and which designs add the most value to Boulder Creek properties.
Your residential landscaping project starts with an in-person consultation at your Boulder Creek property. We walk every inch, discussing your vision while noting drainage, sun patterns, and soil conditions.
Next comes 3D design visualization. Using cutting-edge CAD technology, we create detailed renderings that show exactly how your finished landscape will look. You see your new outdoor space before construction begins, making changes easy and avoiding costly surprises.
When you approve the design, we provide guaranteed start and completion dates—rare in this industry. Our vetted contractors handle installation while our project manager provides daily updates. You stay informed without managing the details yourself.

Boulder Creek’s elevation and proximity to the Santa Cruz Mountains create unique growing conditions. Your design incorporates plants that thrive in your microclimate—from drought-tolerant natives to fire-resistant species that meet local safety requirements.
Water efficiency is built into every design. Smart irrigation systems, rainwater catchment, and xeriscaping techniques that can reduce water usage by 50% while maintaining year-round beauty. These features aren’t just environmentally responsible—they’re financially smart given California’s water costs and restrictions.
Most residential landscaping projects in Boulder Creek take 2-6 weeks depending on scope and complexity. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—something rare in this industry.
Weather rarely delays projects here thanks to Boulder Creek’s mild climate. However, permitting can add 1-2 weeks for larger projects involving retaining walls or significant grading. We handle all permit applications and keep you updated on timeline impacts.
Unlike many contractors, we don’t juggle multiple projects simultaneously. When we start your residential landscaping project, our crew stays focused on your property until completion. This approach prevents the delays and quality issues common with contractors who spread teams too thin.
Boulder Creek’s unique microclimate—elevation, coastal influence, and redwood proximity—requires specific plant selections. Native species like manzanita, ceanothus, and California fescue thrive here while requiring minimal water and maintenance.
We avoid high-water plants that struggle in your climate and violate water restrictions. Instead, we focus on Mediterranean species, drought-tolerant perennials, and native grasses that complement Boulder Creek’s natural landscape while providing year-round interest.
Fire safety is crucial in your area. We incorporate fire-resistant plants and create defensible space that meets CAL FIRE requirements. These aren’t just safety measures—they can reduce insurance premiums while creating beautiful, low-maintenance landscapes that work with your environment.

Boulder Creek’s location in the Santa Cruz Mountains means additional regulations for erosion control, tree removal, and drainage. We know exactly which projects require permits and how to navigate the approval process efficiently.
Most homeowners don’t realize that even “simple” projects like retaining walls over 4 feet or significant grading require permits. We identify these requirements during design and handle all applications, inspections, and approvals so your project stays on schedule and meets all local codes.
Residential landscaping in Boulder Creek typically ranges from $15,000 to $150,000 depending on property size, terrain challenges, and design complexity. Boulder Creek’s steep lots and rocky soil often require additional grading and drainage work.
We provide detailed estimates after our site consultation, breaking down design, materials, labor, and permits. Our 3D visualization process prevents costly changes during construction—you see exactly what you’re getting before work begins.
Here’s what many contractors won’t tell you: if you choose one of our vetted installation contractors, your design cost is free. They pay us for the design since it streamlines their work. You get professional design at no additional cost while ensuring quality installation.
Absolutely. Water efficiency is essential in Boulder Creek given California’s ongoing drought conditions and water restrictions. We specialize in xeriscaping and drought-tolerant designs that can reduce water usage by 50% while maintaining beauty.
