We work clay soil, hard water, and hundred-degree summers every week of the year. That's why our plant lists look different from a catalog and why the base under our patios is deeper than the minimum.
The owner walks every estimate and draws every plan. The same build crew handles grading, drainage, hardscape, irrigation, and planting, so nobody can blame the last trade for what went wrong.
Crews are on site by 7am and off residential streets by 5pm, and the sidewalk gets swept every afternoon whether the job is finished or not.
CA C-27 Landscaping Contractor · License #000000 (sample)
Owner, C-27 licensed — Fourteen years on San Benito County yards. Walks every estimate himself and draws the plans.
Build crew lead — Grading, drainage, and hardscape. If the base is wrong, everything on top of it fails — that's his line.
Horticulture & irrigation — Plant selection for clay soil and 100-degree Augusts, plus every controller program we set.
Whether it's a $475 cleanup or a $30,000 design-build, the sequence doesn't change.
Free on-site visit inside our service area. We look at sun, soil, slope, drainage, and what your irrigation is actually doing before anyone talks price.
You get a drawn plan for design-build work and a line-item estimate for everything else. Materials, labor, and haul-off are broken out so nothing hides in a lump sum.
Grading and drainage first, then hardscape, then irrigation, then plants. Same crew start to finish, and the site gets swept every afternoon.
We walk it together, set the controller, and hand over a watering and pruning schedule for the first year. Maintenance is optional, never bundled in without asking.
“Cleared our place out past Tres Pinos in two days and we passed inspection cold.”
“The photo log after every visit is the whole reason we stopped micromanaging it.”
“They fixed an irrigation leak the last company had been billing us around for a year.”
Our owner personally visits your property for the initial estimate, and the same local crew stays on your project from start to finish. We never subcontract your yard to outside firms, keeping all labor in-house with professionals who live right here in the Aromas and Paicines area.
Fourteen years working yards in Hollister and across San Benito County in this sample, with most work coming from neighbors of past projects.
Yes. Estimates, plans, and crew communication are handled in English and Spanish.
California law caps a contractor's deposit at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less. After that we bill by completed phase, never ahead of the work.
We stand by our work with a 1-year warranty on plants (provided we install and manage the irrigation), a 2-year warranty on hardscape craftsmanship, and full manufacturer coverage on all lighting components and irrigation timers.
Yes, plus general liability. Ask for certificates from anyone quoting your yard — if a crew is hurt on an uninsured job, that exposure lands on the homeowner.
We do not specialize in pool construction or large-scale tree removals. To ensure the highest quality for our clients, we prefer to refer these specialized trades to our network of trusted partners rather than performing work outside of our core expertise.
