Landscape & design
A lot of Bay Area backyards are either thirsty lawn or bare dirt. We help you think through what you want out there, what grows well in your microclimate, and how much upkeep you're signing up for.
It's a lot cheaper to change a sketch than to move a patio.
Sun, shade, slope, clay soil. What the yard is like at 4 p.m. in August matters.
Dinners outside, a veggie garden, somewhere for the dog. Start with that and design around it.
Some yards need a weekly crew. Some need a few hours a season. Know which one you're building.
Three steps, at your pace. You can stop at any point.
01
Send us a few details about the house and what's bugging you. Photos help. Nothing gets shared without your OK.
02
We go over your options with you, including what each one costs you in time and hassle, and whether it makes sense to wait.
03
When you're ready, and with your permission, we introduce one licensed partner we've checked carefully. They quote, contract and do the work with you directly, and we're still here if questions come up.
Good to know

Design, plant choices and cost depend on your yard and what you want from it.
Yes. Swapping lawn for water-wise planting is a popular project around here, and we can talk through what fits your yard.
