We bring comprehensive landscaping services to every San Bernardino neighborhood, handling everything from routine maintenance to complete yard redesigns with attention to quality and detail.
Hillside and Slope Landscaping Specialists
San Bernardino's elevation changes create unique landscaping challenges. Properties in Arrowhead Farms and Verdemont sit on slopes that require specialized terracing, drainage, and erosion control. When winter rains hit, poorly designed hillside landscaping can slide, wash out, or flood lower areas of your property. We see this every year after our first significant storm.
We design slope landscaping that stays put. That means installing proper retaining walls with engineered drainage, choosing deep-rooted plants that stabilize soil, creating swales and berms that redirect water safely, and building terraced gardens that turn steep slopes into usable outdoor space. Properties near Cal State San Bernardino often have dramatic elevation changes that most landscapers avoid, but we specialize in making these challenging sites beautiful and functional.
Your hillside property can be an asset instead of a liability. We transform steep, unusable slopes into attractive low-maintenance landscapes with native plants, decorative rocks, and strategic irrigation. The result is a yard that looks great, controls erosion, and doesn't require constant upkeep. Ready to tackle your slope?

Water-Smart Irrigation for Our Desert Climate
San Bernardino gets less than 15 inches of rain per year, almost all of it between November and March. That means your irrigation system needs to carry your landscaping through nine months of dry weather. Old sprinkler systems waste water through overspray, evaporation, and poor coverage patterns, driving up your water bills while still leaving dry spots in your yard.
We install modern irrigation systems designed for our climate. That includes drip lines for garden beds that deliver water directly to roots, smart controllers that adjust watering based on weather and soil moisture, zoned systems that give different areas appropriate amounts of water, and rain sensors that prevent watering during our occasional storms. Many older homes in San Bernardino still use timer-based systems from the 1980s that waste thousands of gallons annually.
Your water bill shouldn't double every summer. We retrofit existing systems or design new ones from scratch, always focusing on efficiency and coverage. Properties near downtown San Bernardino often have older galvanized pipes that restrict flow, while homes in newer developments might have basic builder-grade systems that don't match actual landscape needs.

Native Plant Landscapes That Thrive Here
Many San Bernardino homeowners fight against our climate by trying to maintain water-hungry lawns and tropical plants that need constant attention. These landscapes look great for a few months, then struggle through summer heat, require excessive watering, and still end up looking stressed by August. There's a better approach that works with our environment instead of against it.
We create native and climate-appropriate landscapes that look lush while using minimal water. California natives like sages, buckwheat, and manzanita evolved here over thousands of years. They handle our heat, survive on rainfall alone once established, attract local pollinators, and provide year-round interest. Properties in the foothills can incorporate high-desert natives, while valley homes work better with low-desert species that tolerate reflected heat from concrete and asphalt.
Your yard can be beautiful without fighting nature. We design landscapes that embrace San Bernardino's Mediterranean climate, choosing plants that naturally want to grow here. The result is less maintenance, lower water bills, and a yard that looks better with each passing year instead of deteriorating.

Our Process
Here's what to expect when you work with us on your San Bernardino property.
Site Visit and Detailed Assessment
We start by visiting your property to see exactly what you're working with. We evaluate your soil type, sun exposure, existing irrigation, drainage patterns, and any problem areas. We discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, then take measurements and photos. For hillside properties, we assess slope angles and erosion risks. For valley properties, we check for drainage issues and heat reflection from nearby structures. This consultation is free and takes about an hour.
