Custom Landscape Design in Santa Cruz County

Custom Landscape Design: From Consultation to Installation

Creating the perfect landscape for each client is what we do best. With The Landscape Company, every step is meticulously planned to bring your vision to life. Here’s our dedicated approach to landscape design:

1. On-site Consultation + Site Assessment:

   We begin with an on-site consultation. During this visit, we will begin to familiarize ourselves with the unique aspects of your property like sunlight exposure, topography, soil composure, and flow. These insights will shape the foundation of our design strategy.

2. Discovering Your Vision:

   Quality landscapes showcase features that are important to the property owner, and yours should resonate with your vision. We’ll take the time to listen and understand the elements you dream about — perhaps a serene stone pathway, a blooming flower bed, or a cozy patio nook. If you’re uncertain about where to start, trust our seasoned expertise. We’re here to guide you with suggestions that beautifully align you with your property’s potential.

3. Planning & Approval:

   Melding our findings with your vision, we will create a comprehensive landscape design plan. This design can offer everything from plant design, basic irrigation, layout, materials, and key features. To ensure we’re on the same page, you will be invited to review, provide feedback, and ultimately approve this plan, ensuring it aligns with your expectations.

4. Design Drawing (Upon Request):

   If you desire a tangible visualization, we offer design drawings of your custom landscape design. Immerse yourself in this illustrative representation of your new property so you can better understand the placement of each element, pathway, seating area, and flow of your soon-to-be oasis.

5. Installation:

   Once the plan meets your satisfaction, our experienced installation team springs into action. The process involves demolition, grading, layout, and implementation of your customized landscape design.

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.
