Why Should I Hire a Cambrian Park-Based Landscape Designer?
Working with local landscape designers and contractors is the best way to ensure that your next landscaping project will go as planned and be delivered on budget and on time.
Microclimate Understanding
The microclimate where you live may affect how your landscape should be designed, what materials or features should be chosen, and how your landscape should be installed. Working with a local contractor will help ensure that this is taken into consideration during the design and installation process.
Hillside and canyon experience
If your property has any uneven or sloping terrain, you will want a local landscape contractor who is accustomed to working with these types of properties.
Access to local resources
Local landscape designers will be far more familiar with local resources and how things work in Cambrian Park, including knowing other vendors and contractors, as well as having a better understanding of how local building regulations and permitting procedures work.
Does Sequoia Outdoor Landscape with Plants, Succulents, or Gravel?
Yes, our team has years of experience working with all sorts of landscaping materials and features, including plants, succulents, gravel, and other low-maintenance grass alternatives.
What Landscape Design Styles Are Common in Cambrian Park?
As a suburban neighborhood with a small-town feel, Cambrian Park has a range of housing styles. This means that you will see some variety in landscaping to match these different types of homes. One thing you will see with almost any style of home is paver driveways, walkways, and patios. Paving stones come in such a variety of styles and colors that there are options to go with any architectural style.
Another trend you will see in Cambrian Park is expansive, upscale outdoor living spaces. The professionals and families that make their home in Cambrian Park enjoy spending time outdoors and entertaining at home, so you will commonly see outdoor kitchens, built-in barbecue grills, paver patios, artificial grass lawns, fire pits, and patio fireplaces.
Does Sequoia Outdoor Design for Earthquakes, Wildfires, or Mudslides?
Yes, our team has years of experience designing and installing landscapes with the potential for natural disasters in mind.
For our clients who are concerned about potential mudslides, we can focus on retaining walls, erosion control, grading, and proper drainage.
For those in areas prone to wildfires, we can help create a defensible space around their homes using fire-resistant plants and hardscapes.
For anyone concerned about earthquake damage, we offer pavers for driveways and patios, which are much easier to repair after an earthquake if damage occurs. For example, while a concrete slab would need to be replaced if it was damaged in an earthquake, a paver patio or driveway can simply be taken apart to replace broken paving stones or fix displaced pavers.
What Does the Process of Hiring Sequoia Outdoor Entail?
The process of hiring us begins by contacting us for a free estimate. A free, on-site consultation will be scheduled, and your dedicated landscape designer will meet you at your property to go over the project, including the budget and timeline. Afterward, he or she will provide you with a 3D rendering of the design and answer any questions you have. If you decide to move forward with the design, we will then complete the landscape construction.

What is the difference between a landscaper and a landscape designer?
A Cambrian Park landscape designer will meet with you to discuss your plans for your property, your budget, and your timeline.

He or she will then create a 3D rendering of the project for you to approve and will manage the installation.
Landscapers sometimes offer basic construction services, like installing sod or irrigation systems, but their services focus on maintaining landscaping after it has been installed. This usually includes mowing and lawn care, pruning, raking and blowing leaves, and weeding.
How much do landscapers charge per hour in Cambrian Park?
Landscape maintenance services in the Cambrian Park area generally charge from $25 to $50 per staff hour.
How much should I budget for a landscape project?
Landscape project cost depends on the size and scope of the work, the materials used, the features included, and where the property is located. Some small projects could cost as little as $2,000, while a larger or more involved landscape project might cost $50,000 or more.
