When the homeowners of this Los Gatos property decided to create a modern, low-maintenance outdoor space to match the style of their home, they knew exactly who to call. We had previously been hired to care for their two mature oak trees, and the trust we built during that work laid the foundation for this larger project.
They came to us with a design already prepared by a design group, and we were asked to provide a bid for the installation. Because they valued the relationship we had established and the quality of our past work, they chose us to bring their vision to life.
Why We Were Chosen
The homeowners wanted an installation process that would be as smooth as possible. They knew that preserving their mature oak trees would require skill and careful planning, and they trusted our team to handle the project with the same care and precision we had shown before.
We reviewed the original design and made thoughtful revisions, ensuring it aligned with their style and met the necessary requirements for tree preservation. They wanted one company to manage all aspects of the landscape construction, and our ability to handle every component in-house made the decision easy.
The Problem We Solved
This project required strategic tree preservation. Expanding turf areas around the mature oaks had to be done in a way that protected their root systems and ensured their long-term health. The property also called for a variety of specialty services, which we were able to provide without the need for multiple subcontractors.
By managing the project from start to finish, we not only protected the site’s most valuable natural features but also ensured every detail of the installation worked together to achieve the homeowner’s modern aesthetic.
What We Did
The scope of work included:
- Mature tree preservation during all phases of construction
- Artificial turf installation for year-round color and minimal maintenance
- Brick pillar construction to complement the architectural style of the home
- Wrought iron fence installation for security and design cohesion
- Paver installation to create clean, functional hardscape areas
- Irrigation system design and installation tailored to plant and turf zones
- Plant and tree installation selected to complement the property’s modern style
- Low-voltage lighting installation for both ambiance and safety
- Gravel rock installation to enhance visual texture and reduce maintenance
Each step was completed with the dual goals of aesthetic appeal and long-term sustainability.
The Outcome
The finished landscape reflects exactly what the clients envisioned: a clean, modern space that is easy to maintain and enhances the look of their corner property. The mature oaks remain healthy and thriving, a testament to the care taken during installation.
Because of the positive experience and strong relationship, the homeowners asked us to continue maintaining the property after completion. Nearly three years later, the landscape still looks as fresh and vibrant as the day it was installed, with every element performing as intended.
For clients who want a modern, low-maintenance landscape without compromising on quality or care, this project stands as an example of what can be achieved through trust, expertise, and attention to detail.
