A Look Into Our Process

Bay Area Landscapes will do the heavy lifting for you every step of the way – from the landscape design conception to the necessary landscape maintenance afterward.

Assessment

We’ll visit your location and survey the outdoor area. How large or small is the space? Is it flat or sloping? Does it have a reliable water source? Our comprehensive assessment phase ensures that you only get the best results for your landscape. We also look for the strong points of your property and plan a design to enhance them with a unique garden layout.

Design

First, we discuss your preferred style, color scheme, floor textures, greenery density, and more. Your ideas and input are valuable to us, and we will consult with you closely to provide a final layout of a landscape design that meets your standards and allocated budget. The process also involves planning the more technical aspects of the project, like irrigation systems and soil types.

Construction

After you’ve approved our landscape design layout, we begin making plans for the construction. With decades of experience under our belt, we can ensure that your chosen design beautifully manifests in your outdoor area. We only use high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment to create durable hardscapes and thriving greenery.

Landscape Maintenance

At Bay Area Landscapes, we continue our residential landscaping service long after construction and installation are complete. We conduct regular pest and weed control, soil analysis, irrigation checkups, pruning, fertilizing, mulching, and more. Our landscape maintenance process ensures thriving, robust plants and pristine outdoor spaces.

Why Choose Bay Area Landscapes for Your Residential Landscaping?

What sets us apart from the rest? We provide the most experienced, highest-quality service and do whatever we can to satisfy you when you become our client in the San Francisco Bay Area. You will find our services to be:

Time-Saving

No matter the size of the outdoor space, turning it into a beautiful landscape will always be a time-intensive undertaking. Setting up hardscapes, properly planting flowers and shrubbery, and maintaining them afterward are just a few of the tasks that will require your attention. In other words, it’s challenging to conduct your own landscaping if you have a busy schedule.

Our landscape contractors will handle everything for you – and more. You get the beautiful outdoor space you’ve always wanted without worrying about the upkeep.

Cost-Effective

Many people believe that going the DIY route saves money, but if you consider the long run, getting professional assistance is actually the more cost-effective option. No need to buy expensive equipment that takes up a lot of space. No risk of making mistakes and wasting landscaping materials.

Unhealthy plants, soil erosion, and faulty irrigation are just some of the potential problems you might encounter. With proper landscape installation and maintenance, you have far fewer risks of dealing with costly issues in the future.

Convenient

Setting up a lawn or garden is no easy feat. Aside from freeing up your time to accomplish other things, leaving more significant outdoor projects in the hands of trained experts also saves you a lot of effort.

One of our most important aims is to make the landscaping process as convenient for you as possible, which is why we also conduct our services on a day and time that suits your schedule.

Experienced

Unless you have the necessary knowledge and experience in plant care, architecture, landscape design, and construction, it’s impossible to do everything independently. With over four decades of experience and hundreds of satisfied clients, Bay Area Landscapes has the complete skill set that ensures a job well done every time.

When tackling major home projects like building a new deck or re-tiling a roof, you often go to a trusted professional. Why should landscaping be any different?

Consistent

With growing, living things in the mix, outdoor spaces thrive on consistency. Plants require regular watering, mowing, fertilizing, and pruning—and not everyone has the time to do these tasks consistently. With our scheduled services, we visit your home and conduct the necessary maintenance that meets your landscape’s specific needs.

Licensed and Insured

Our licensed business means that we rigorously meet the standards of state regulations. What’s more, we are also fully insured to give you peace of mind. You don’t have to worry about dealing with potential accidents or mishaps.

A Stylish and Functional Outdoor Solution

Many people believe that landscaping is purely for aesthetic improvements, but it has many practical applications that benefit every homeowner. Here are some of the more notable ones:

Creates More Comfortable Outdoor Temperatures

Despite San Francisco being cool and foggy year-round, the surrounding Bay Area experiences sunny skies and can get very hot in the summer. If you’re looking to stave off the heat, an outdoor landscape can help in more ways than one.

Even a simple grass-filled lawn in place of bare soil, cement, or asphalt can absorb heat. With enough surface area, the cooler temperatures radiated by the grass can reduce the need for air conditioning. Who knew that having a lawn could save you on energy bills?

Having trees in your garden also does wonders for outdoor temperatures. They provide shade, not just for you, but for your home as well. Well-placed trees around your property can even lower the temperatures of your attic by 40 degrees! What’s more, they also protect your windows from the sun’s glare.

Prevents Water Erosion

Even in the Bay Area, where it remains relatively dry throughout the year, having some reliable water protection can help in the long run. Lush greenery can act as buffers for water runoff during rainy weather. Woody plants, in particular, help prevent downstream flooding and soil erosion.

If you have a sloping property, we may recommend the installation of retaining walls. These barriers prevent any elevated soil from running off whenever it rains. We can also implement smaller borders to protect your shrubbery and to avoid dirt spilling out.

These enclosures are not just practical; they can also improve the overall appearance of your landscape. We have many materials available to match your preferred aesthetic perfectly.

Saves Natural Resources

At Bay Area Landscapes, we know the importance of saving water, especially in areas where it’s sparse. During hotter summer days, your site may have water restrictions. We take great care in choosing the right plant life that can thrive in your specific outdoor conditions.

As part of our maintenance service, we also regularly check your irrigation to ensure the health of your plants. If you want to reduce fuel consumption from lawn equipment (such as trimmers and lawnmowers), we recommend a landscaping design that uses a more diverse set of plant life like shrubs, bushes, and trees.

Contributes to Cleaner Air

We need to do our part in helping the environment, and outdoor landscaping is an excellent way to contribute. Plants continuously capture smoke and dust particles, absorb carbon dioxide, and release oxygen, all of which significantly improve air quality. Here’s a fun fact: Having even a single tree in your outdoor space can supply four people with enough oxygen each day!

Improves Quality of Life

Did you know that having some plants in your surroundings reduces blood pressure? Taking a walk through your garden also helps increase your memory and attention. Studies have also shown that having a garden can lower your stress levels. All of these physical and emotional benefits improve your daily life in small but noticeable ways.

Raises Your Home Value

If you want to make a good impression for potential buyers, making your outdoor landscape look presentable is essential. People are willing to spend more on residential property with professional landscaping. Think of it as an investment that brings you a high rate of return.

Even if you’re not selling your home any time soon, the many benefits of landscaping are hard to ignore.
