Design and build

From the first sketch to the final planting, Highland handles design, construction, and long-term management. Our crew brings a range of certifications and specialties to every job site.

02

Irrigation and sustainable planting

Our irrigation is designed to give each space only the water it needs, while staying discreet. Rock walls, retaining walls, and swales help establish fire breaks and reduce water needs.

Our story

Grow with our family business.

Working the land is in our DNA. Our grandfather, Antonio, came to this country as a Bracero, and landscaping has been part of the family ever since.

In the late 1980s, our father’s first job in Sonoma was with Highland Landscaping. In 2014, the family bought that same company, and we have been growing it together since.

There is always a family member involved in the management of every project.

What our clients say

“Highland Landscaping has done a great job for us over the last eight years. They are courteous, prompt, and friendly. … We also used them to replace our entire landscape after it was destroyed in the Tubbs fire and were very happy with the results.”

Lance C.

“We highly recommend Highland Landscaping. They have installed our landscaping and done the maintenance for 25+ years. They are always fair on their pricing and extremely reliable. They have always met or exceeded our expectations.”

Dave & Camy Etchell

“The Soto family brings multi-generational landscaping and garden knowledge to every project they have done for us. They always arrive on the job, as planned, and offer not only professional work ethic but good advice and suggestions, always delivered with kind smiles.”
