Most importantly, you’ll have a landscape designed to thrive in our Mediterranean climate with minimal maintenance, smart water usage, and materials built to last decades.
Since 1975, we’ve completed over 5,000 residential landscaping projects throughout the Bay Area. We’re family-operated, which means every project gets personal attention from start to finish.
We understand Redwood City’s unique challenges—from hillside properties near Woodside to the coastal influences that affect plant selection and drainage. Our team has worked with Peninsula clay soils, water restrictions, and the specific permitting requirements that come with this area.
You’re not just hiring landscapers; you’re working with specialists who’ve designed landscapes for Apple and Yahoo executives, understand what works in this climate, and guarantee both start and completion dates.
We start with an in-person consultation at your Redwood City property. You’ll walk us through your vision while we assess your soil, drainage, sun exposure, and any slope challenges.
Next comes our 3D design process. Using cutting-edge CAD technology, we create realistic visualizations of your completed landscape. You’ll see exactly how your space will look and function before any construction begins.
Once you approve the design, we coordinate everything. We provide vetted contractor bids, manage the entire installation process, and give you daily updates. Your project manager ensures quality control and keeps everything on schedule with our guaranteed timeline commitment.

Your residential landscaping services include custom design, hardscaping installation, plant selection for our Mediterranean climate, and efficient irrigation systems. We handle everything from initial soil preparation to final walkthrough.
For Redwood City properties specifically, we address common challenges like hillside erosion control, Peninsula clay soil amendment, and water-wise plant selection that complies with local conservation efforts. Our designs work with the coastal influences—fog, wind, and salt spray—that affect this area.
Whether you’re near downtown’s Courthouse Square, the family neighborhoods around Roosevelt Elementary, or the hillside communities toward Woodside, we tailor every element to your specific microclimate and property conditions. Your landscape will thrive year-round with minimal maintenance requirements.
Residential landscaping in Redwood City typically ranges from $4 to $12 per square foot, depending on the scope and materials. Complete landscape design and installation projects generally cost between $3,000 to $15,000 for most properties.
The final cost depends on your specific needs—simple plant installations and irrigation are on the lower end, while comprehensive projects including hardscaping, retaining walls, and premium materials are higher. Redwood City’s challenging terrain and soil conditions can affect pricing, but our 50+ years of local experience helps us provide accurate estimates.
We offer free consultations and detailed project estimates, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Redwood City’s Mediterranean climate with coastal influences requires specific plant selection for long-term success. We recommend drought-tolerant natives like California poppies, lavender, and ornamental grasses that handle dry summers and occasional fog.
For year-round structure, we use plants like rosemary, sage, and succulents that thrive in Peninsula clay soils and don’t require excessive watering. Trees like coast live oak and California bay laurel are excellent choices that complement the area’s natural landscape.
The key is selecting plants that work with Redwood City’s unique microclimate—including salt spray near Highway 101 and warmer conditions toward the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our team has decades of experience choosing plants that flourish here with minimal maintenance.
Redwood City’s varied topography—from flat lots near El Camino Real to steep properties in the hills—requires specialized expertise. We’re experienced with erosion control, proper grading, and retaining wall integration for sloped properties.
Our solutions include French drain systems for water management, soil amendment for Peninsula clay conditions, and terraced designs that prevent erosion while creating usable outdoor space. We understand local permitting requirements for hillside construction and work within Redwood City’s building codes.
For properties with challenging terrain, we often incorporate natural stone retaining walls, drought-resistant plantings, and strategic hardscaping that works with the slope rather than against it. Every design addresses both functionality and long-term stability.
Absolutely. We specialize in water-wise residential landscaping that complies with California’s water regulations and Redwood City’s conservation efforts. Our designs reduce water usage by 30-50% compared to traditional landscapes.
We install smart irrigation systems with weather sensors, drip irrigation for targeted watering, and select plants that naturally thrive with minimal water. Our hardscaping elements like permeable pavers and gravel areas reduce overall irrigation needs while adding visual interest.
For Redwood City properties, we also address the seasonal fog patterns and natural rainfall, designing landscapes that take advantage of natural moisture while requiring minimal supplemental watering during dry periods.
Our 3D design process creates realistic visualizations of your completed Redwood City landscape before construction begins. Using advanced CAD technology, we model your entire property including existing structures, topography, and site conditions.
You’ll receive detailed 3D renderings showing plant placement, hardscaping elements, lighting, and how everything looks from different angles and seasons. We also create animated walkthroughs delivered as YouTube links for easy sharing with family or HOA approval processes.
The design process includes multiple revision rounds to ensure every detail matches your vision. Once you approve the design and choose one of our vetted contractors for installation, your design cost is completely refunded since our contractors compensate us directly.
Most residential landscaping projects in Redwood City take 1-3 weeks to complete, depending on scope and complexity. Simple installations like plant replacement and irrigation might take just a few days, while comprehensive projects with hardscaping and grading require 2-3 weeks.
We’re one of the few landscaping companies that provides guaranteed start and completion dates—a rarity in our industry. Your project manager provides daily updates and ensures work stays on schedule despite weather or other potential delays.
Redwood City’s permitting process and potential soil challenges can affect timelines, but our 50+ years of local experience helps us anticipate and plan for these factors. We’ll give you realistic expectations upfront and stick to our commitments.
