Frequently Asked Questions

As a full-service contractor, can you handle both our kitchen remodel and a new backyard patio?

Yes, absolutely. Our unique advantage is being licensed as both General Building and Landscape Contractors. This means our single, coordinated team can manage your interior remodel and exterior construction seamlessly. We handle everything from design to final installation, ensuring cohesive project management and consistent quality for your entire home improvement vision.

My lawn in Santa Barbara has patchy dry areas but other spots seem overwatered. What's the solution?

This is a common local issue often caused by inefficient irrigation. We start with a detailed evaluation of your soil, slope, and existing system. Our solution typically involves redesigning or repairing your irrigation for uniform coverage, adjusting zones for sun exposure, and improving soil health. For persistent problems, we might recommend drought-tolerant landscaping or synthetic turf, which we expertly install to provide a consistently green, water-wise yard.

What is involved in your landscape design and construction process?

Our process is collaborative and thorough. It begins with a design consultation to understand your vision and site specifics. Our licensed landscape architects then create a plan that integrates hardscape elements like retaining walls and walkways with planting, irrigation, and lighting. Once approved, our in-house construction team executes the build, handling all grading, drainage, masonry, and planting. We manage the entire project from concept to completion, ensuring the design is built correctly and sustainably for our local climate.
