Redwood City Outdoor Living Upgrade with Kitchen, Patio Pavers, and Artificial Turf
This Redwood Shores backyard was transformed from a plain, high-maintenance lawn into a clean, modern outdoor living space with a custom kitchen, durable patio pavers, and artificial turf. The new design offers low-maintenance functionality and a welcoming layout for everyday use and casual entertaining.
San Mateo Backyard Makeover with Tiered Retaining Wall and Patio Paver
Located in San Mateo’s Baywood‑Aragon neighborhood, this property faced a sloped, underutilized backyard that lacked usable zones and visual cohesion. Sequoia transformed it by engineering tiered retaining walls, leveling key areas, and installing clean, durable paver patios—creating a functional, low‑maintenance outdoor space ideal for entertaining and everyday use.
Los Gatos Backyard Remodel Featuring Paver Patio and Custom Pergola
This Los Gatos backyard was transformed from an underused space into an elevated outdoor retreat, complete with a paver patio and custom pergola. Sequoia Outdoor redesigned the layout, integrated cohesive hardscape and softscape elements, and delivered a functional, stylish environment made for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying.
San Mateo Commercial Landscape Design & Installation
The project was completed on schedule in just under four weeks. Led by Project Manager Darin, our team managed the entire process from design to build, including site preparation, layout coordination, and phased installation to ensure an efficient workflow and smooth delivery.
Los Altos Landscape Design & Build Project
Nestled in a quiet North Los Altos neighborhood, this full backyard remodel reimagined an underutilized space into a modern, purposeful oasis. We replaced aging hardscapes with cohesive paver patios, built a fire‑pit lounge, and restructured the layout so the yard now supports both relaxation and entertaining — with minimal maintenance.
