R&R Backyard Remodeling
Landscape Gardeners in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2022
“We hired R&R to build a 1,900 sqft deck, outdoor kitchen and seating area. The team was outstanding! I can't say enough great things about these guys. They were clear about what they were going to do, when they were going to do it, and then in the end, it all happened as they said it would. The entire team was fantastic to work with. They came with great ideas and delivered for us every step of the way. If you are looking to remodel your backyard, look no further - this is your team. Choose anyone else at your own risk. Ron and the team are by far the best contractors I've ever worked with. Plus they are great guys on top of it, which makes the process move so much more smoothly. We never had to chase anyone down or wonder when anything was going to happen. They were great communicators throughout the entire project and we absolutely love our new backyard. Highly recommend working with them!”

“We used Willies' in 2013 to get our For Sale house in shape. Loved his work ethic some much we hired him to do a major project in the front and back yards of our new house. Big flagstone on concrete patio with a drystack retaining wall and built in cooking area with a large smoker and 18 inch Weber plus a lot of outdoor lighting and plants. Hired him a second and third time to do a new driveway and additional side concrete work. Roger and Sue E.”
SouthBay Design and Landscaping
Landscape Gardeners in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 June 2019
“Southbay Design & Landscaping redid our backyard over 4 years ago, and have been maintaining it ever since. They are very responsive to any requests we have and are thorough in the maintenance of our yard. I appreciate that they will plant new plants for us if we pick them up and have given advice on what kind of plants work around our yard. They even help out by fixing our sprinklers without us asking (we actually hadn’t realized it was broken but were suspicious of why the grass wasn’t growing well in one spot). We appreciate their professionalism and good work.”
A & E Landscapes

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 November 2022
“For the last few months, my wife and I were considering updating our yard. The idea originally was to freshen up the space with some plants and possibly do some hard-scape as well. We spoke to a couple of landscape contractors but truthfully weren't convinced. Sometime went by and a neighbor suggested to contact A&E Landscapes. This neighbor had had work done by them in the past and was very pleased with the workmanship and final product. I contacted them and spoke to a lady by the name of Ana. She was very pleasant and had a number of questions. We ended the call by agreeing to meet so she can have a better understanding of my wife and I ideas of the project. A day or so went by and we met. I was very surprise how Ana made me feel at ease. She was very detailed on her explanation and very resourceful with blue prints, pictures of current and past projects. Fast forward to now and I am happy to say that the vision my wife and I had for our backyard was met above and beyond! I couldn't say enough about this company. Well done, really.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 July 2020
“We are so happy with our "refreshed" backyard from Westcoast Hardscape! The team was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Mike/ operations manager was proactive & honest with communication, shared ideas to consider and walked through the process and options so we knew exactly what was planned. We can't wait to work with them again for future projects, we can not recommend them enough....overall an excellent experience and amazing work!!!”
Urbanleaf Landscapes

“This past summer we hired Landsystems Landscapes to design a backyard retreat for our family. We wanted a space that would be both beautiful and functional, a place for us to entertain our family and friends, but also serve as a private oasis to escape for some peace and quiet. Landsystems were exactly the right people for our job. Not only are they landscape architects, but they’re also contractors. So we knew that if we liked their design ideas we could also hire them to complete the construction too. At first, I worried that hiring landscape designers meant hiring other people’s own personal styles, choices and ideas. I also worried we would be giving up input as to the direction things would go or what we wanted for our space. However, with Landsystems Landscape this was never the case. From their detailed online project questionnaire to multiple design meetings at our house to gain a better understanding of our wants, needs, likes and dislikes Landsystems Landscapes has made the whole design process a collaborative effort that has been both enjoyable and educational. We have felt guided and informed throughout the entire process, never pushed or strayed away from our own likes and the things most important to us. They made sure that we understood each step and felt comfortable and confident with each choice and decision we made. Every person from the Landsystems’ team was professional, respectful, reliable and knowledgeable. In addition, the Landsystems’ personnel made us feel important and valued. They took the time to listen, explain and answer any and all questions we had, even if we asked the same question before or maybe needed a little more explanation or information before feeling completely confident and comfortable with our decision. Of course, a huge factor in our project was budget…everyone has one and everyone is trying to stick to it! Budget was something that we discussed with Landsystems early on in the design process. It was a constant topic and reference point that helped guide our decisions. Landsystems worked very closely with us to stay within our budget without compromising the beautiful design they had created for our backyard. By the end we knew exactly what work was going to be done, how much it was going to cost us and what the final product was going to look like. We were so pleased with Landsystems Landscapes that after the completion of the design process we hired them to implement their creative vision and construct our new backyard. Demolition began a couple weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier with the company, crew and workmanship.”
Crystal Springs Landscape Inc
Landscape Gardeners in Palo Alto, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 December 2020
“Nato Vargas and his team did extensive drainage work for us in 2014. This involved taking down the soil level 4 inches in the back garden, digging and installing several french drains and a sump pump. Since then we've had no water accumulation during subsequent rainy seasons, protecting our foundation. The drainage works perfectly! Nato and team have come back twice, in 2017 and 2020, to repair and stain our back garden fence, resurface the gold fine decomposed granite paths, install a new mail box, replace a garden gate and build a wood shelter for our recology bins. Nato and his team do beautiful work!”

“I hired Sal and his crew to do a complete remodel of a clients backyard. They gave me a schedule in which they kept to complete large project. I was very impressed with his company.

His service made my company shine. Signed, Herb Sanchez SNC Construction”

Newly planted or seedlings may need more frequent watering for proper establishment. During hot and dry weather, plants may require additional watering to prevent drought stress, so monitoring soil moisture is important.

If you haven’t dabbled with the garden trowel before or you know your garden design vision is beyond your gardening skills, then it’s time to call in the Palo Alto, CA garden landscapers. Landscape gardeners in Palo Alto, CA will be able to bring your outside space to life with flowers, plants, trees, shrubbery, lawns and all sorts of verdant, floral features. You can think beyond the flora too, to patios, decking, sculptures, pathways, outdoor sculptures and all sorts of other garden supplies. If you find the right Palo Alto, CA gardeners or landscapers then there’s no limit to what you can do with your garden.

Why should I hire a landscape gardener in Palo Alto, CA?


Even if you do have a few green fingers yourself, garden landscapers in Palo Alto, CA will have the experience and training to carry out larger landscaping projects and will have the eye for what works best where and when in your garden. They may work with a landscape designer or architect who will put together the plans that they then execute, or they may do this work themselves. If you’re looking for a Palo Alto, CA landscape architect, or perhaps you want to select your own garden supplies yourself, then you can find the right professionals for this on Houzz, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape contractors: Landscape Architects & Garden Designers, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Stone, Paving & Concrete, Tree Services.

What’s the difference between gardeners and landscapers?


The term landscapers is often interchangeable with gardeners, but landscape gardeners (as they’re also known) are sometimes a bit different from regular gardeners. Usually, landscapers can change the layout and structure of gardens, working with water features, paving, decking and other more substantial parts of gardens. A basic gardener, on the other hand, will deal only with lawns, plants, trees and flowers. However, you will often find gardeners in Palo Alto, CA that offer both gardening and landscaping together and can source all kinds of landscaping and garden supplies for you.

Will I need to have a regular gardener?


Once the plants have been chosen, planted or potted, and the lawn or patio laid, then your garden will be ready to enjoy, but never completely finished. Like all living things, your garden will grow and change with time and the seasons, so it will need a bit of TLC and garden maintenance from time to time. This is when you may want to hire Palo Alto, CA gardeners again, especially if you have a very large garden or landscaped area that needs constant upkeep. Hire Palo Alto, CA gardeners to water, weed and prune your plants, keep the lawn trim and green, and cut back any overgrowing trees. Some Palo Alto gardeners may source their own garden supplies, while with others you may have to do this yourself.

Questions to ask a landscape gardener:


  • How long have you been in the gardening business?
  • Do you design gardens or just carry out the gardening/landscaping work?
  • Have you worked on similar garden projects to mine before?
  • Who will work on the project? Do you subcontract any work to other gardeners?
  • Will you offer advice on what plants will work best with my outdoor space, design and the current season?
  • Will you provide the garden supplies or should I choose these myself?
  • How long will it take you to complete this project?
  • What are your landscaping costs?
  • Can you provide a written estimate?
  • Do you offer garden maintenance work? What are your daily or hourly rates as a regular gardener?
