  • Outdoor kitchens: Elevate your entertaining experience with an outdoor kitchen that blends convenience and style for al fresco dining.
  • Water features: Bring tranquility to your space with elegantly designed water features, from serene koi ponds to captivating fountains.
  • Built-in fire pits: Create a cozy focal point that offers warmth and ambiance for evenings spent outdoors.

Custom Backyard Design and Makeover Solutions for Bay Area Homes

Koch Landscape Design offers personalized solutions that embrace the opportunities and challenges of our region’s unique climate and geography. Here is how our backyard design and makeover services can be tailored to your home.

  • Foothill properties: The steep terrain of foothill lots present unique drainage challenges. Customized grading plans and runoff control systems can convert hilly areas into functional outdoor spaces.
  • Suburban homes: Flat backyards offer a blank canvas for recreational living. We can unlock your yard’s entertainment value with additions like water features, patio spaces, or built-in fire pits.
  • Homes near nature: If you enjoy basking in nature, we can integrate native plant species that harmonize with the surrounding habitat. Native plants are hardy, provide seasonal color, and support local wildlife.
  • Fire resilient landscapes: With wildfires a growing concern, we can help safeguard your property with strategic landscaping. Our expertise includes selecting fire-resistant plants, establishing defensible zones, and incorporating non-combustible materials into your backyard design.
