Landscape Consultations

Every successful backyard starts with a clear plan. Our landscape architecture consultations can help you define your priorities, find a style you like, and identify opportunities that can make your space feel special. We aim to highlight the natural characteristics of your property, preserving its views, sightlines, and character.

Garden design

Your gardens shape how your landscape looks, feels, and matures over time. Our garden planners can design layered planting beds that add structure, depth, and seasonal color without feeling crowded or overdesigned.

Plant Selection

Our team will help you select drought-tolerant plants that thrive with your home’s sun exposure, soil conditions, and microclimate. The goal is a planting palette that establishes well, looks cohesive with your overall design, and performs reliably through the seasons.

Hardscaping

We design and install hardscape features that give your backyard a good structural flow and make it easier to use every day. Patios, walkways, and entryways improve accessibility and create a purposeful connection between your home, garden, and entertaining areas.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are effective for solving terrain and slope challenges, improving drainage, and adding charm to your backyard. Our team designs and installs retaining walls with materials and finishes that complement your patio, plantings, and home design.

Patio Covers

We design and install custom shade structures that fit seamlessly with your home and available space. Choose from pergolas, gazebos, and louvered patio covers to enjoy your preferred balance of light, shade, and ventilation.

Outdoor Kitchens

Outdoor kitchens and bars are a nice way to stay connected with guests during dinners, summer barbecues, and late-night gatherings. Features can include grills, ovens, sinks, refrigeration, built-in storage, and integrated landscape lighting.

Pools

Trust our skilled professionals to craft custom pools and spas that fit your home, your style, and how you want to use your space. If you already have a pool, we can refinish it to change its color, create a more durable finish, and give your backyard a fresh look.

Water Features

We design custom water features that add sound, movement, and a calming focal point to your backyard. With an emphasis on filtration and placement, you can easily keep the water clean and simplify long-term maintenance.

Fire Pits

Across Los Altos and Los Altos Hills, we build gorgeous custom fire pits with durable materials that match your hardscape and seating areas. Thoughtful placement preserves views and helps keep smoke and odors away from the home and main entertaining spaces.

The Local Trails of Los Altos and Los Altos Hills

Los Altos and Los Altos Hills blend a welcoming neighborhood feel with open spaces, and both communities attract nature lovers who want a quick escape from the city. In Los Altos, the Redwood Grove Nature Preserve is a favorite spot for a quiet walk along Adobe Creek. The short, shaded trails feel secluded, with footbridges and native plants that add to the peaceful atmosphere. What makes Los Altos Hills especially unique is its Town Pathway System. This network of scenic trails creates a unique way to experience the town. Pathways wind under trees, cross open hillsides, and run beside equestrian properties, connecting parks and residential areas throughout the area. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or horseback riding, these trails offer a relaxing way to explore the community away from busy roads.
