Do you dream of stepping into your backyard and being greeted by a mesmerizing display of vibrant hues dancing in the breeze? The allure of an orchard lies not only in the promise of fresh fruit but also in the stunning visual appeal it creates. From the delicate blossoms of spring to the rich palette of ripe fruits in summer and fall, an orchard offers an ever-changing canvas of color that captivates the senses. Let’s explore how adding this living burst of color to your landscape can elevate its aesthetic appeal and create a truly enchanting outdoor sanctuary.

1. Soft Hued Blossoms in Bloom

Spring heralds the arrival of nature’s own masterpiece as orchard trees burst into bloom, adorning your landscape with thousands of delicate petals. Picture the graceful arches of cherry blossoms, the fragrant clusters of apple blossoms, or the clusters of pear blossoms—all casting a stunning array of color and fragrance throughout your property. These blossoms not only add visual charm but also attract pollinators, ensuring a thriving ecosystem in your backyard.

2. Vibrant Fruits of Summer

As the days grow warmer, the orchard transforms into a treasure trove of ripening fruits, each variety boasting its own unique color palette. From the rosy blush of peaches to the deep purple of plums, the orchard becomes a symphony of colors, inviting you to indulge in nature’s bounty. Whether you’re harvesting fruits for fresh organic snacks, incorporating them into culinary creations, or simply enjoying the view from your deck, the vibrant hues of summer fruits add a delightful pop of color to your landscape.

3. Autumn’s Alluring Tapestry

As summer fades into autumn, the orchard undergoes a breathtaking transformation, as leaves turn shades of gold, crimson, and russet. Against the backdrop of blue skies, the fiery foliage creates a mesmerizing tapestry of color that infuses your landscape with warmth and richness. Strolling through the orchard amidst the falling leaves, you’ll be immersed in nature’s own kaleidoscope, reveling in the beauty of the changing seasons.

Phil, Laura, and the team at The Landscape Company are amazing! We have been working with them on landscaping a large hill in our backyard. They recommended prepping it for winter rains by installing a waddle system and laying down erosion control netting and straw. They noticed a storm system was arriving early so they prioritized the work and got everything installed before the rain arrived. Can't thank them enough!

I had a leak in an old irrigation system and a plumber told me they would need to dig up my yard and walkways. I was panicked and had no idea where to go for a solution. I cold-called 3 different companies and The Landscape Company was the only one that called me back on a timely basis. They came out early the next morning, and, despite my old system being a unicorn, fixed the leak promptly and gave me an idea of how my system could work. I continue to be so grateful for their prompt, professional, creative help.

Paul, Efrain and Thomas were great partners for a new homeowner! They helped us understand what we needed and were very transparent about process, materials and costs associated. We had them come in for a full day to get everything back into shape and I couldn't be happy with how everything turned out. Looking forward to having them come by on a bi-weekly basis to keep things looking manicured and (more importantly) healthy.

This is a company that strives on professionalism, attention to detail, and connecting to their customers. Phil takes pride in giving his customers the small mom and pop business feel , but has the team and business knowledge to support a large business operation. I love the fact that the business owner works directly with his clients. He provides custom packages for each of his clients if needed. His team is really friendly, trustworthy, and always arrives on time! Phil has a kind heart. He is a really great guy who cares about his customers. I honestly do not like being one in a million of customers in the corporate world. You feel like you are lost in the shuffle of things. I never felt this way when working with this company. Not only did I receive outstanding customer service, I got direct calls from the owner to check on how my services were going. now if that's not customer service I don't know what else is! I highly recommend The Landscape Company for your landscaping needs!

The Landscape Company came to our rescue! Phil and the crew found a way to build an enormous gate to our backyard. TLC had clear communication through out the entire project, very professional people. Everyone was on time, cheerful, and cared just as much ( or more ) for our project. These people are into doing the job right, no shortcuts on quality or craftsmanship. What more can we say? If you have a project that you want done right, call The Landscape Company. Thank You All,

With great enthusiasm I applaud the work product created by The Landscape Company, thanks to its owner, Phil Dundas, and his competent crew. My Santa Cruz Gardens front yard was transformed from 1,200 square feet of lifeless turf to a spectacular display of drought resistant plants, providing a variety of texture and color and accented with three new trees. The backyard was renovated with drought tolerant red fescue and perimeter plants as well as mulch. The experienced crew pruned existing fruit trees, created a flagstone pathway, restored a cracked sidewalk, installed a drip irrigation system, reinforced a retaining wall, and corrected an eroded sided yard with a French drain and river rock. I recommend The Landscape Company because of the owner’s prompt response, accurate estimates, flexibility with plant selection and budget, sense of aesthetics, knowledge, practical considerations, and relationship with the landscape community.
