Every yard is different, so these are honest starting points rather than final numbers. Your estimate breaks out materials, labor, and haul-off so you can see where the money goes.
Service list
Six services, one crew.
Landscape design & build
From $9,500
3 — 6 weeks on site
A full front or back yard, drawn before it's dug. You see a plan and a planting list before a single shovel moves, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
Measured site plan with plant list and materials
Grading, drainage, and soil prep done first
Hardscape, planting, irrigation, and lighting in one crew
Trade a thirsty lawn for something that still looks alive in August. Natives, Mediterranean plantings, gravel and decomposed granite paths, mulch that holds moisture through a Hollister summer.
Sheet-mulch or full sod removal and haul-off
Drip conversion from existing spray heads
Plant palette chosen for San Benito County heat and clay
Most yards here waste water on a broken head nobody noticed. We audit the whole system, fix what's leaking, and put it on a controller that reads the weather instead of a calendar.
Zone-by-zone audit with a written findings list
Drip retrofits, valve and head replacement
Weather-based controller setup and phone access
Seasonal schedule adjustments included with maintenance
Crews start at 7am and are off residential streets by 5pm. Estimates are free inside our service area.
Service questions
What people ask about scope.
What services are included in your recurring San Benito County garden maintenance?
Our monthly service includes mowing, edging, blowing, weeding, seasonal pruning, fertilization, and a full irrigation check. After every visit, you receive a photo log, and we ensure the same crew arrives at your property on the same weekday each time.
Do you offer sprinkler-to-drip conversions for San Benito County homes?
Yes, and this is frequently the most affordable way to lower your water bill. Our crew converts spray heads zone by zone, installs drip tubing beneath a fresh layer of mulch, and recalibrates your controller for the adjusted run times.
Is artificial turf worth it here?
Sometimes. It makes sense for small dog runs and shaded play areas. In full Hollister sun it gets hot enough to be unpleasant, so we'll tell you when planting and gravel would serve you better.
Can your team fix yard drainage and runoff issues?
Absolutely. We prioritize proper drainage before any aesthetic work. From French drains and downspout extensions to regrading foundations near Highway 25, we ensure water is managed correctly so your beautiful new patio doesn't face structural issues later.
Do you provide defensible space clearing for rural San Benito County properties?
Yes. We offer weed abatement, tree limbing, and defensible space clearing out to 100 feet where the terrain allows. We provide before-and-after documentation for your local fire district or insurance provider, particularly for homes in Aromas or the Paicines hills.
Will you build a landscape using a design from a different architect?
We certainly can. Simply bring us your existing drawings and we will provide an estimate. We also review the plans to identify any specific elements that might struggle in our unique Hollister soil before we begin the build phase.
Can your crew handle tree trimming and removals?
We prune small ornamental trees common in downtown Hollister gardens. For large removals, work near power lines, or anything requiring a climber, we refer you to a certified arborist, as those tasks fall outside the scope of our specific license.
