Are you yearning to infuse your Santa Cruz County property with an ambiance of timeless allure and organic beauty? Look no further than an orchard. Envision strolling through your own personal oasis, plucking ripe fruits straight from the branches. The Landscape Company can help you embrace a lifestyle that is deeply intertwined and connected with the region’s breathtaking natural beauty by designing and building an orchard on your property.

With an orchard gracing your property, the bounty of nature is yours to enjoy at every turn. Bid farewell to bland, mass-produced fruits tainted with chemicals and preservatives. Instead, savor the unparalleled freshness and flavor of homegrown produce—crisp apples, succulent peaches, tangy citrus—each nurtured with meticulous care in your very own backyard. Embrace the joy of picking ripe fruits straight from the tree, knowing they’re free from harmful additives and bursting with natural goodness.

2. Elevate Your Property’s Aesthetic Splendor

Beyond the tangible benefits, an orchard adds an unrivaled sense of beauty and elegance to your landscape. Picture the elegance of flowering trees in spring, the lush green foliage of summer, and the vibrant hues of autumn foliage. An orchard transforms your property into a picturesque retreat, inviting relaxation and admiration from all who behold it.

3. Nurture a Deep Connection with Nature

In an era defined by hustle and bustle, an orchard offers a sanctuary where you are able to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world. Spend leisurely afternoons tending to your trees, feeling the soil beneath your feet, and relishing in the simple pleasures of outdoor living. Rediscover the joy of cultivating life from the earth, forging a profound bond with nature that enriches your soul and rejuvenates your spirit.

4. Encourage Environmental Harmony and Regeneration

Introducing an orchard to your property offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond aesthetics.

1. A well-designed orchard not only provides a sanctuary for local wildlife but also acts as a natural climate regulator, cooling the atmosphere with its verdant canopy.

2. By tending to your eco-friendly orchard and cultivating organic produce, you play a pivotal role in the ecosystem’s rejuvenation.

3. Through the conversion of greenhouse gases into life-sustaining oxygen and the replenishment of soil nutrients, you actively contribute to the restoration of environmental balance and the reduction of waste, forging a harmonious connection with nature that resonates throughout your property.

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.
