Nichols and Smyth Landscape: Experienced Landscapers Serving Arroyo Grande, CA 93420

Many Arroyo Grande homes deal with poor lawn grading leading to water pooling, and plant stress from our warm, dry spells. Our approach starts with a site evaluation to identify grading issues. We design and install corrective drainage solutions, like French drains or regrading, to move water away from foundations. For heat stress, we design irrigation zones specific to plant needs and sun exposure, and can recommend drought-tolerant native plants that thrive in our local climate, reducing water use and maintenance.

Our process is a collaborative partnership. It begins with a consultation to understand your vision, budget, and how you use your space. Our design team then creates a detailed plan that can include layout, plant selection, hardscaping (like patios or walkways), and an efficient irrigation system. Once approved, our experienced construction crew handles the complete installation—from earthwork and planting to building retaining walls and setting up irrigation—ensuring a seamless transition from plan to finished landscape.

Yes, we provide start-to-finish irrigation services. Our team designs efficient, water-saving systems tailored to your property's specific layout and plant zones. We then handle the professional construction and installation. To protect your investment, we also offer repair and maintenance services, including seasonal start-ups/winterizations, head adjustments, leak detection, and controller programming updates to ensure your system operates effectively year-round and conserves water.
