Outgrown Your Yard—or Never Liked It to Begin With?

Many Sacramento-area homes suffer from dated layouts, poor drainage, overgrown plants, or neglected outdoor areas that no longer match the homeowner’s lifestyle. Whether you inherited an old design or watched your yard decline over the years, you shouldn’t have to settle for a space that doesn’t work or reflect your vision.

What’s Included in Our Landscape Renovation Services

Everything you need to bring your yard back to life, all in one place.

Site Cleanup & Removal of Old Materials

We start every renovation with a clean slate. That means removing overgrown shrubs, damaged trees, weeds, old mulch, broken edging, and outdated irrigation or lighting. Our cleanup process is thorough and respectful of your space.

Many renovation projects include correcting slope and flow issues. We regrade surfaces to direct water away from structures and install proper drainage systems—including French drains or dry creeks—to prevent pooling and erosion.

We evaluate existing sprinkler and drip systems and either upgrade or install new zones as needed. This includes replacing faulty valves, installing smart timers, and ensuring even water coverage across your redesigned landscape.

From sod replacement to drought-tolerant plant palettes, we bring new life into your yard with fresh, climate-appropriate plantings. We tailor all selections to your maintenance preferences, style, and sunlight exposure.

We finish every job with clean, new mulch or decorative ground cover to tie it all together—improving soil health and giving your yard a finished, tidy look.

 Want to enjoy your new space after dark? We offer low-voltage lighting installation to highlight features and increase safety, all while using energy-efficient fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscape Renovations

Let’s walk through common renovation concerns, timelines, and what to expect.

How do I know if I need a full renovation or just a refresh?

If your yard has major layout issues, poor drainage, dying plants, or feels disjointed, a full renovation is likely the best option. We’ll help you determine this during your walkthrough and provide both refresh and full remodel options.

Yes. Many clients want to keep mature trees or favorite shrubs. We work around those elements when possible and can reshape the design to highlight what stays while replacing what no longer works.

Absolutely. We specialize in converting high-maintenance lawns into low-water, native landscapes. This includes removing turf, capping unneeded sprinklers, and installing drip zones with appropriate plantings.

Most renovations take 1 to 2 weeks depending on the scope. Simpler jobs with minimal grading and replanting may finish in a few days. We provide a clear timeline before we begin.
