Business Background

At Awaken Landscapes, we're passionate about creating outdoor spaces that are as unique as the people who enjoy them. Based in Sacramento and led by owner Steve Durgan—an ISA Certified Arborist with over two decades of hands-on experience—we approach every project with a focus on thoughtful design and lasting construction. We believe a great landscape starts with understanding your vision and the practical realities of your property, which is why we offer free, detailed on-site consultations. Whether it's a Mediterranean-inspired patio, a modern deck, or solving common local issues like edging damage, we combine creative design with solid craftsmanship to build landscapes you'll love for years to come.

Common Questions

How does being an ISA Certified Arborist influence your landscape design in Sacramento?

As an ISA Certified Arborist and Tree Risk Assessor, Steve brings a deep understanding of tree health, soil, and long-term site planning to every project. This means we design landscapes that work with your existing trees, select the right species for our local climate, and build hardscapes like patios and retaining walls that won't harm root systems. It's a practical, science-based approach that ensures your new landscape is beautiful, sustainable, and built to last.

We have damage to our landscape edging and bare patches in our lawn—can you help with this common Sacramento issue?

Absolutely. These issues often stem from improper installation, soil problems, or irrigation issues. We address them by first diagnosing the root cause, which might involve correcting the grade or improving drainage. For edging, we rebuild with durable materials like concrete mow strips or properly set pavers. For bare patches, we don't just re-sod; we correct the soil composition and ensure the irrigation system delivers water evenly. Our goal is a permanent fix, not a temporary cover-up.

What does your design process look like for a project like a new deck or patio?

It starts with a free consultation at your home to understand your vision, budget, and how you want to use the space. Steve then creates custom 3D renderings so you can truly visualize the design, from the layout of a Trex deck to the flow of a flagstone patio. This planning phase is crucial—it allows us to work out all details, from irrigation and lighting integration to material choices, before construction begins, ensuring the final build is efficient and matches your expectations.
