Residential Landscaping Services in Castro Valley, CA
Your yard is an extension of your home. It’s where you spend time outside, entertain, or just relax at the end of the day.
Our residential landscaping services cover everything you need to create and maintain a space that works for you — from new landscape design and planting to irrigation, lighting, and long-term care. We work in East Bay communities, focusing on functional design, water-smart plant choices, and solid craftsmanship.
About Our Residential Landscaping Services
Every property has its own challenges — soil type, slope, sunlight, and drainage all play a part. We start by walking your yard with you and talking through what you want to see. Maybe that’s a low-water landscape with native plants, or a small patio and lawn area for kids and pets. We listen, take measurements, and develop a plan that makes sense for the space.
Our residential landscaping work includes:
- Landscape design and layout planning
- New lawns or lawn replacement with drought-tolerant options
- Garden bed installation and mulching
- Tree and shrub planting
- Retaining walls and small hardscape features
- Irrigation and drainage improvements
- Lighting for walkways and garden areas
We focus on materials and plants that hold up well in our climate. That means hardy groundcovers, California native vegetation, and efficient drip irrigation systems that reduce waste water. All of these services are offered to our commercial landscape too.
How We Plan & Install Your Landscape
Once we have a plan in place, we handle the full installation process. That starts with clearing and grading to make sure water drains properly and roots have room to grow. We prep soil with compost and amendments where needed, install irrigation or adjust existing lines, and then move on to planting.
For new gardens, we choose plants that suit the exposure and soil — mixing textures, colors, and heights so the space feels natural but organized. In many neighborhood yards, we combine low-water shrubs, native grasses, and small flowering plants for year-round color without heavy upkeep.
If you’d like hardscape elements, such as a small patio, walkway, or edging, we can build those too. We use concrete, pavers, or natural stone depending on the look you want. Every project ends with clean finishing work: fresh mulch, trimmed edges, and a tidy site before we leave.
We also provide drainage solutions as part of installation. That might include French drains, catch basins, or simple grading adjustments to prevent puddles and erosion — small details that make a big difference once the first rain hits.
Long-Term Care and Maintenance Options
A new landscape looks its best when it’s cared for regularly. We offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep things healthy and neat. That can include mowing, pruning, weeding, fertilizing, and seasonal planting changes.
For irrigation systems, we’ll check for leaks, reset timers through the seasons, and fine-tune water zones so everything gets the right amount of moisture. We can also advise on how often to water new plants as they establish roots.
If you prefer to maintain your yard yourself, we’ll still walk you through what to expect — when to trim certain plants, how much to water, and how to keep mulch levels consistent. Our goal is to leave you with a landscape that’s easy to manage, not one that becomes a chore.
Aside from these, we have
hardscape services as well.
Why Choose Us for Your Home Landscaping?
We’ve been working on yards in Castro Valley for years and understand the local conditions that affect landscaping — clay soil that needs drainage attention, dry summers, and mild winters that allow for year-round planting. That local knowledge helps us avoid common problems before they start.
Our approach is straightforward: plan carefully, do the prep right, use good materials, and don’t rush the finish work. You’ll deal directly with the people doing the job, not a rotating crew of subcontractors. We keep communication open from start to finish and clean up the site before we leave.
We take pride in creating outdoor spaces that look natural, stay healthy, and fit the way you actually use them — not just how they look in photos.
