R&R Backyard Remodeling
Landscape Gardeners in San Mateo, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2022
“We hired R&R to build a 1,900 sqft deck, outdoor kitchen and seating area. The team was outstanding! I can't say enough great things about these guys. They were clear about what they were going to do, when they were going to do it, and then in the end, it all happened as they said it would. The entire team was fantastic to work with. They came with great ideas and delivered for us every step of the way. If you are looking to remodel your backyard, look no further - this is your team. Choose anyone else at your own risk. Ron and the team are by far the best contractors I've ever worked with. Plus they are great guys on top of it, which makes the process move so much more smoothly. We never had to chase anyone down or wonder when anything was going to happen. They were great communicators throughout the entire project and we absolutely love our new backyard. Highly recommend working with them!”

“We are so happy with our "refreshed" backyard from Westcoast Hardscape! The team was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Mike/ operations manager was proactive & honest with communication, shared ideas to consider and walked through the process and options so we knew exactly what was planned. We can't wait to work with them again for future projects, we can not recommend them enough....overall an excellent experience and amazing work!!!”

“This past summer we hired Landsystems Landscapes to design a backyard retreat for our family. We wanted a space that would be both beautiful and functional, a place for us to entertain our family and friends, but also serve as a private oasis to escape for some peace and quiet. Landsystems were exactly the right people for our job. Not only are they landscape architects, but they’re also contractors. So we knew that if we liked their design ideas we could also hire them to complete the construction too. At first, I worried that hiring landscape designers meant hiring other people’s own personal styles, choices and ideas. I also worried we would be giving up input as to the direction things would go or what we wanted for our space. However, with Landsystems Landscape this was never the case. From their detailed online project questionnaire to multiple design meetings at our house to gain a better understanding of our wants, needs, likes and dislikes Landsystems Landscapes has made the whole design process a collaborative effort that has been both enjoyable and educational. We have felt guided and informed throughout the entire process, never pushed or strayed away from our own likes and the things most important to us. They made sure that we understood each step and felt comfortable and confident with each choice and decision we made. Every person from the Landsystems’ team was professional, respectful, reliable and knowledgeable. In addition, the Landsystems’ personnel made us feel important and valued. They took the time to listen, explain and answer any and all questions we had, even if we asked the same question before or maybe needed a little more explanation or information before feeling completely confident and comfortable with our decision. Of course, a huge factor in our project was budget…everyone has one and everyone is trying to stick to it! Budget was something that we discussed with Landsystems early on in the design process. It was a constant topic and reference point that helped guide our decisions. Landsystems worked very closely with us to stay within our budget without compromising the beautiful design they had created for our backyard. By the end we knew exactly what work was going to be done, how much it was going to cost us and what the final product was going to look like. We were so pleased with Landsystems Landscapes that after the completion of the design process we hired them to implement their creative vision and construct our new backyard. Demolition began a couple weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier with the company, crew and workmanship.”

“Nato Vargas and his team did extensive drainage work for us in 2014. This involved taking down the soil level 4 inches in the back garden, digging and installing several french drains and a sump pump. Since then we've had no water accumulation during subsequent rainy seasons, protecting our foundation. The drainage works perfectly! Nato and team have come back twice, in 2017 and 2020, to repair and stain our back garden fence, resurface the gold fine decomposed granite paths, install a new mail box, replace a garden gate and build a wood shelter for our recology bins. Nato and his team do beautiful work!”
CK Landscape
Landscape Gardeners in San Mateo, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2014
“CK Landscape has done a great job installing several of my design projects. The owner, Alex Cartwright, is extremely knowledgeable about hardscape, irrigation, plants and landscape lighting. My preference is to work with contractors who can bring their own expertise and experience to make the project truly collaborative, and Alex excels at this. On a recent project, he found a beautiful flagstone that helped pull the design together, and had great ideas for enhancing several of the project’s structures. It’s wonderful to work with a contractor who is committed to making sure that the project is a success and the clients get the best possible outcome.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 March 2022
“Great experience with the overall process. Proprietor Carlos is accessible, articulate, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, ( not to mention likable) with an equally competent and efficient team. We commissioned them to replaced our sizable weed infested and uneven front lawn, included new auto sprinklers, pest proofing and some new landscaping with auto-drip system and accent lighting; This was well managed and executed project from beginning to end with great suggestions on grass and plants, timely start and completion times. There were a few over-sites and room for improvements, but not enough to detract rating here. Very pleased with the results and will use again: 5 stars. -fabrizio”
Pete's Pools
Landscape Gardeners in San Mateo, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 January 2019
“Pete is a pool masters. The design phase was all about our new pool and what we wanted. Pete was patient, creative and by far the best prepared to gather all of the information needed for a detailed proposal. He worked with us during the entire design process and never pushed us in a direction that was away from our the original thoughts of our dream pool. He made suggestions that were appropriate and explained details of the construction process to achieve a high quality pool. During construction, Pete and his subs were professional, respectful and good at cleaning up each day. Pete is there almost everyday and checks in to make sure we are on track. He also made suggestions regarding the design and as a result we made some changes that really improved our pool environment. Pete's Pools is the pool builder you use when you want "your" pool not the pool the pool company wants to sell you.”

Mariposa Gardening & Design Cooperative, Inc.
Landscape Gardeners in San Mateo, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 September 2012
“My garden had good bones but the plants were all wrong. I wanted a garden that looked natural but well-kept, a tough aesthetic to pull off. I wanted lots of birds and butterflies. Mariposa Gardening has taken care of my garden for a few years now. The principal, Andrea Hurd, started by editing the original sorry collection of misplaced plants, replacing the losers with absolute winners. I now have a beautiful variety of textures, colors, shapes and sizes. Something is in bloom in all seasons. We are overrun with birds and, in season, with butterflies. Her maintenance crews have done a great job of keeping her work looking good. The trees are elegantly pruned; each one displays that gold standard "looks like it grew that way" look. Any special request that I make is quickly taken care of. Sometimes I get treats, in the form of new flowers or vegetable starts (I love foraging in my own back yard). In short I am completely happy with Mariposa Gardening and Design.”
Mejia Landscaping - San Francisco
Landscape Gardeners in San Mateo, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2023
“Mejia Landscaping did an excellent job with the backyard to our house. We completely remodeled the backyard, putting in a new patio, gravel, privacy walls, landscaping and lighting. We relied heavily on Alberto to guide us -- he was patient, extremely knowledgeable, and figured out exactly what we wanted so that the final product matched our vision. Mejia is a wonderful company to work with -- good with design, superlative in execution. Their workers always treated the inside of our house with respect and made sure that materials were transported through the house in such a manner that it did not damage the floors.”

As a general guideline, established plants with well-established root systems typically require watering once or twice a week, adjusting as needed depending how warm it is. Newly planted or seedlings may need more frequent watering for proper establishment. During hot and dry weather, plants may require additional watering to prevent drought stress, so monitoring soil moisture is important.

If you haven’t dabbled with the garden trowel before or you know your garden design vision is beyond your gardening skills, then it’s time to call in the San Mateo, CA garden landscapers. Landscape gardeners in San Mateo, CA will be able to bring your outside space to life with flowers, plants, trees, shrubbery, lawns and all sorts of verdant, floral features. You can think beyond the flora too, to patios, decking, sculptures, pathways, outdoor sculptures and all sorts of other garden supplies. If you find the right San Mateo, CA gardeners or landscapers then there’s no limit to what you can do with your garden.

Why should I hire a landscape gardener in San Mateo, CA?


Even if you do have a few green fingers yourself, garden landscapers in San Mateo, CA will have the experience and training to carry out larger landscaping projects and will have the eye for what works best where and when in your garden. They may work with a landscape designer or architect who will put together the plans that they then execute, or they may do this work themselves. If you’re looking for a San Mateo, CA landscape architect, or perhaps you want to select your own garden supplies yourself, then you can find the right professionals for this on Houzz, too. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape contractors: Landscape Architects & Garden Designers, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Stone, Paving & Concrete, Tree Services.

What’s the difference between gardeners and landscapers?


The term landscapers is often interchangeable with gardeners, but landscape gardeners (as they’re also known) are sometimes a bit different from regular gardeners. Usually, landscapers can change the layout and structure of gardens, working with water features, paving, decking and other more substantial parts of gardens. A basic gardener, on the other hand, will deal only with lawns, plants, trees and flowers. However, you will often find gardeners in San Mateo, CA that offer both gardening and landscaping together and can source all kinds of landscaping and garden supplies for you.

Will I need to have a regular gardener?


Once the plants have been chosen, planted or potted, and the lawn or patio laid, then your garden will be ready to enjoy, but never completely finished. Like all living things, your garden will grow and change with time and the seasons, so it will need a bit of TLC and garden maintenance from time to time. This is when you may want to hire San Mateo, CA gardeners again, especially if you have a very large garden or landscaped area that needs constant upkeep. Hire San Mateo, CA gardeners to water, weed and prune your plants, keep the lawn trim and green, and cut back any overgrowing trees. Some San Mateo gardeners may source their own garden supplies, while with others you may have to do this yourself.

Questions to ask a landscape gardener:


  • How long have you been in the gardening business?
  • Do you design gardens or just carry out the gardening/landscaping work?
  • Have you worked on similar garden projects to mine before?
  • Who will work on the project? Do you subcontract any work to other gardeners?
  • Will you offer advice on what plants will work best with my outdoor space, design and the current season?
  • Will you provide the garden supplies or should I choose these myself?
  • How long will it take you to complete this project?
  • What are your landscaping costs?
  • Can you provide a written estimate?
  • Do you offer garden maintenance work? What are your daily or hourly rates as a regular gardener?
