Business Overview
Greenheart Landscaping is a locally owned and operated design-build firm serving El Dorado Hills and the Sierra Foothills. Founded by Suzette, the company combines over 20 years of regional landscaping expertise with a deep understanding of the area's unique terrain and climate. Suzette’s background began not in construction, but with a 13-year cut floral business in San Francisco, giving her a foundational knowledge of plants and horticulture. She transitioned to landscaping in 2004, learning hardscape design and construction from the ground up while working with a leading pool and landscape firm. This hands-on experience in all project phases—from initial concept to final installation—informs Greenheart’s comprehensive approach. Now a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor, Suzette leverages her familiarity with local HOA guidelines, El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) processes, and state water-efficient landscaping ordinances (MWELO) to guide projects smoothly from permit to completion. Greenheart specializes in transforming both new yards and existing outdoor spaces, focusing on sustainable, enduring designs that thrive in our local environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Greenheart Landscaping handle common issues like shifting rock gardens and persistent weeds in El Dorado Hills?
Our approach starts with proper site preparation and design tailored to our local soil and slope conditions. For rock gardens, we ensure stable subgrades and use appropriate geotextile fabrics and anchoring techniques to prevent shifting. To combat weeds, we focus on creating healthy, dense plantings that outcompete weeds, use high-quality mulch, and can install proven weed barrier systems beneath decorative rock or mulch in landscape beds. Our Green Gardener certification also informs our use of sustainable, long-term solutions that reduce maintenance.
We need a new patio and retaining wall. Does Greenheart handle the entire project from design to construction?
Yes, absolutely. As a design-build firm, we manage your hardscaping project from start to finish. This includes the initial landscape design, navigating any necessary permits with local building departments, and then executing the construction—from earthmoving and regrading to the precise installation of your patio, walkways, and retaining walls. Our 20 years of experience in the region means we understand the materials and techniques that work best for our soil and climate, ensuring a durable and beautiful result.
What is your process for designing a new irrigation system?
Our irrigation design begins with a thorough site analysis to assess sun exposure, soil type, and plant groupings. We then design a customized, water-efficient system that meets both the needs of your landscape and the local El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) guidelines. We select appropriate components for optimal coverage and can integrate smart controllers for easier management. Following installation, we provide guidance on seasonal adjustments to promote healthy plants while conserving water, a key part of our Green Gardener philosophy.
