Landscape Design & Installation

Creating Outdoor Spaces You Will Actually Use

Your landscape should be more than just something you look at from the window. It should be a space you actually enjoy spending time in. Whether you want a peaceful garden retreat, a functional outdoor living area, or a low-maintenance yard that looks great year-round, good design makes it happen. We start every project by learning what you want to use your space for and how you live. That information guides every decision we make.

Many homeowners skip the design phase and jump straight into planting or hardscaping. That often leads to poor plant choices, drainage issues, and spaces that do not work the way you hoped. When you invest in proper design upfront, you avoid those problems and get better results. We plan for sun exposure, soil conditions, water access, and maintenance needs before anything goes in the ground. This saves you time and money in the long run.

We also think about how your landscape will grow and change over time. Plants mature, seasons shift, and your needs might evolve. A well-designed landscape accounts for all of that. We choose plants that thrive in Citrus Heights, plan for future growth, and create layouts that stay functional as things develop. When you work with us, you get a landscape that works now and keeps working for years to come.

Smart Plant Selection for Citrus Heights

Choosing the right plants is one of the most important parts of landscape design. Plants that thrive here look better, need less water, and require less maintenance. We focus on species that are adapted to our hot summers, mild winters, and occasional drought conditions. Native and climate-appropriate plants are always our first choice because they perform better and support local ecosystems.

What We Consider When Selecting Plants

• Water Needs: We group plants with similar water requirements so your irrigation system works efficiently and nothing gets over or under watered.
• Sun Exposure: We match plants to the light conditions in each part of your yard, from full sun areas to shaded spots.
• Mature Size: We plan for how large plants will grow so they do not crowd each other or block views and pathways down the road.
• Maintenance Level: We discuss how much time and effort you want to spend on upkeep and choose plants that fit your lifestyle.
• Seasonal Interest: We select a mix of plants that provide color, texture, and visual appeal throughout the year.

We also pay attention to soil conditions and drainage. Some plants need well-draining soil, while others tolerate clay or compacted areas. If your soil needs improvement, we address that during installation so your plants have the best possible start. Healthy soil leads to healthy plants, which means less work and better results for you.

If you want to add outdoor lighting to highlight your new landscape, we can integrate that into the design. Lighting adds safety, functionality, and curb appeal while showcasing your investment after dark.
