Landscaping in Palo Alto, CA

Palo Alto homeowners expect landscapes that match the caliber of the homes — and a builder who respects the city’s protected trees. From the deep lots of Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park to the clean-lined mid-century homes of the Eichler tracts, we design and build landscapes that fit the architecture and the climate.

What landscaping in Palo Alto takes

Palo Alto ranges from stately estate lots that call for refined design and mature planting to Eichler neighborhoods where a low-water, architectural landscape suits the modern lines.

Local know-how: Palo Alto has one of the region’s strictest tree ordinances — coast live oaks and designated protected trees can’t be removed or heavily pruned without approval. We design around protected trees and keep the work compliant from the first plan.

Yes. We design around protected coast live oaks and heritage trees and keep pruning and removals within the city’s ordinance — it’s a normal part of working here.
