Your garden in Redwood City

Help at every stage.

  • Landscape Design

    We create landscape plans that show the layout, planting, materials, irrigation and lighting for your project.

  • Landscape Construction

    We build landscapes, including site preparation, drainage, patios, walkways, retaining walls, irrigation, lighting and planting.

  • Landscape Maintenance

    We look after gardens through the year, ones we built and ones somebody else did, so each stays the garden it was meant to be.

Before design starts

What is different here.

Redwood City is where the yard is, and its tree rule is the one most often measured wrongly. A tree is protected once its trunk reaches thirty-eight inches around, roughly twelve inches across, and the measurement is taken anywhere between six and thirty-six inches above the ground rather than at the four and a half feet almost every neighbouring town uses. A low flare or a heavy base therefore brings a tree inside the ordinance here that would sit outside it a mile away. The permit is issued by the Parks and Recreation Director rather than by planning, so a tree question and a plan question go to different counters. A protected tree damaged without a permit has to be restored, or, where it cannot be, replaced within a year with a tree matched for size and species.

The same everywhere

How a job runs.

Design, build and maintenance are one company here, so the drawing is made by people who will have to build it and the garden is looked after by people who know why it was built that way. See how we take a project from first visit to finished garden.

Redwood City is one of the towns we work in most, so no travel charge applies. We also work well beyond these towns, with a $100 travel charge once, on the first visit, outside the towns listed.

Let's talk about your garden.

For a new design or garden project, the consultation is $175 and covers the first hour on the property. If the visit runs past the hour, we agree the extra time with you first. For ongoing care, the maintenance walk is $75 so we can see the garden and price the work.

Visits are prepaid. Neither fee is credited toward later work.
