Landscape design in Los Altos Hills
Landscape Design in Los Altos Hills, CA
Los Altos Hills is located about 20 miles north of San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley. Similar to the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Altos Hills has warm summers and mild winters, with rainfall mostly hitting in December and January. Originally home to the Ohlone Native Americans, other settlers found their way there in the mid 1800s.
It’s close to major Bay Area cities while also being removed from the hustle and bustle, making it a desirable place to live for people who work at many of the big tech companies. Los Altos Hills has plenty of local parks, a library, and a community college.
Los Altos Hills has a relatively dry, sunny climate, so most homeowners and residents focus on low-water vegetation. Many incredible plants and trees already grow naturally in the Los Altos Hills area, including the California rose, honeysuckle, the Big Leaf Maple, and the California sycamore.
Because Los Altos Hills is a dry climate, most homeowners will include hardscape features, such as paths, walls, or other man-made elements to minimize the need for grass in their garden design.

Building Your Dream Landscape
Before building your dream landscape, get inspired about your outdoor space. Use sources like Pinterest or take photos of great landscape design you see as you’re walking around town or hiking in the foothills. From there, decide what style you prefer and think about what you may like to do with your space.
At that point, it is important to bring in a landscape contractor or designer to create a plan. Similar to remodeling your house, having a professional work on the space, whether it be a small front yard, a side yard, or expansive backyard, is worth the results. Residential landscapes can be tricky and require the best landscape construction, especially in Los Altos Hills.

Why Should I Hire an Los Altos Hills-based Landscape Designer?
As you plan your next landscape design, it’s important to hire a local landscape designer for the following reasons:
Local knowledge
Not only will a local Los Altos Hills-based landscape designer already understand the types of plants and materials that will work for your landscape design, but they will also know the local suppliers and have relationships with them, making it easier and faster to get the job done.
Microclimate Understanding
Like most of the Bay Area, Los Altos Hills has comfortable, temperate weather that’s similar to the Mediterranean. A Los Altos Hills landscape designer will understand what materials will last in the weather patterns and dry air.
Hillside and Canyon Experience
Los Altos Hills has beautiful rolling hills and nature preserves. Local landscape designers have experience with these environments and can plan accordingly.
Does Sequoia Outdoor Landscape with Plants, Succulents, or Gravel?
Sequoia Outdoor can help you plan your perfect landscape design, including all of the native plants, as well as succulents and gravel.
What Landscape Design Styles Are Common in Los Altos Hills?
In Los Altos Hills, a dry, sunny climate nestled in the hills of Silicon Valley, most residents opt for less grass coverage, patio coverings and awnings to block the sun, and prominent rock features, sometimes including water features. The landscape design in Los Altos Hills homes usually include outdoor living spaces, to extend the living spaces into the natural surroundings.
Does Sequoia Outdoor Design for Earthquakes, Wildfires, or Mudslides?
The local landscape designers at Sequoia Outdoor understand the need to plan for natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides. Similar to a general contractor for your home, Sequoia Outdoor landscape designers plan for the worst in every design.
What Does the Process of Hiring Sequoia Outdoor Entail?
Our landscape designers start with a one-hour on-site consultation where they conduct a site analysis and learn more about your preferred style, how you plan to use the space, and your budget. From there, they will provide a construction plan and a 3D rendering to visually represent your landscape project. Sequoia Outdoor can answer any of your questions regarding the landscape design during the on-site consultation and beyond.
What Questions Should I Ask Sequoia Outdoor?
When working with one of our landscape designers, you’ll want to ask the following questions:
- Can you share examples of your past work?
- What experience do you have with my particular type of outdoor space?
- How much should I budget for a landscape design for my home?

Can I see Los Altos Hills area references?
Yes. We share completed projects and verified reviews averaging 5.0 across Google, Houzz and HomeAdvisor. The live count and average are on our reviews page rather than written into this one.
How much does it cost to consult a landscape designer?
At Sequoia Outdoor, our one-hour on-site consultation with a landscape designer is free.
What is the difference between a landscaper and a landscape designer?
A landscape designer focuses on the strategy and planning of an outdoor space. A landscaper is generally the person who implements the plan created by the designer and tends to your landscape and garden after it’s been completed.
How much do landscapers charge per hour in Los Altos Hills?
Maintenance crews in Los Altos Hills generally bill $25 to $50 per person per hour for mowing, pruning and cleanups. That is a different service from what we do. Sequoia Outdoor is a licensed design-build contractor and we price complete projects, not hours: a fixed scope, a fixed contract price agreed before work starts, and no hourly billing. Our project minimum is $25,000.
How much should I budget for a landscape project?
Sequoia Outdoor is a design-build contractor, not a maintenance company, and our project minimum is $25,000. Most whole-yard projects in Los Altos Hills run from that minimum up to about $100,000. Elite programs that add an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature and full planting typically run $100,000 to $300,000, and estate-scale master plans $300,000 to $500,000 or more. A separately contracted master plan runs $4,000 to $10,000 and is credited toward construction when you build with us. The project map above shows the real, rounded ranges Los Altos Hills neighbors actually invested.
