Services

Landscape design, construction, and care.

From the first sketch to the last plant, one family team plans, builds, and looks after landscapes for residential estates and commercial properties across Sonoma County, Napa Valley, and the Bay Area.

Have something else in mind?

If you can picture it, we can talk it through.

Specialty

Ancient olive trees

We source one-of-a-kind trees, especially ancient olives up to 140 years old, and plant them where they will become the centerpiece of the garden.

If it grows in California and is suitable for your particular landscape, we can deliver.

How a project runs

Design, build, water, and look after it.

01

Design

We walk the property, listen, and draw a plan around how you live and what the site allows: grading, drainage, planting, and materials.

02

Construction

Our own crews build it: structures, stonework, planting, and lighting, with one project lead from first day to last.

03

Irrigation & water

Efficient, zoned irrigation designed with the planting, so the garden thrives on less water and is easy to adjust.

04

Management & care

Seasonal maintenance, pruning, and irrigation checks keep the landscape on the path we designed.

Commercial

Commercial properties

Wineries, offices, and multi-unit properties get the same design care as our estates, with a maintenance program built around your schedule and your standards.

One point of contact, consistent crews, and reliable irrigation management.

Photo needed

A commercial property: winery entrance, office campus, or a maintained common area. Wide, daytime, no people.
