Why Should I Hire a Woodside-Based Landscape Designer?

Woodside landscape designers and installation crews have experience designing and installing landscapes in Woodside, which makes them better equipped to assist you with choosing the right materials and features, staying within budget and on time, and working with local companies and processes.

Microclimate Understanding

Towns on the San Francisco Peninsula experience coastal or near-coastal climates that can include elements like sandy soil, wind, salt spray, and fog. Local designers are accustomed to considering these factors and will be able to better assist you in working with them to design and install the landscape of your dreams.

Hillside and canyon experience

Woodside and the surrounding area are home to hills and canyons, which means you may have hillsides, slopes, or uneven terrain to consider when designing the landscaping around your home. There may be related privacy issues or erosion control concerns as well. Local designers and contractors are best equipped to assist you in working with these considerations.

Access to local resources

Local landscape designers know other Woodside contractors, sub-contractors, and vendors and will have more experience with local building regulations and permits.

Does Sequoia Outdoor Landscape with Plants, Succulents, or Gravel?

Yes, our team is well-versed in working with grass alternatives and low-water landscaping features, including gravel, succulents, and native plants.

What Landscape Design Styles Are Common in Woodside?

Woodside is filled with beautiful landscapes, both created and natural. Homeowners here are accustomed to well-manicured landscapes, interesting terrain, and beautiful open spaces in local parks and preserves. Residents enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle and need outdoor living areas that are inviting, attractive, low-maintenance, and designed for upscale entertaining. People here tend to look for eco-friendly options and prefer well-designed spaces with functions that fit their needs and the needs of their families, such as built-in barbecue grills, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, putting greens, paving stone patios, and backyard fireplaces.

Does Sequoia Outdoor Design for Earthquakes, Wildfires, or Mudslides?

The Sequoia Outdoor team has years of experience working with homeowners to create beautiful outdoor living spaces with designs that take potential natural disasters into consideration. This includes choosing materials and creating a design that reduces the risk of damage or loss. This might mean creating defensible spaces with hardscapes and fire-resistant plants to reduce the risk of wildfire damage, managing erosion with grading and retaining walls, or using pavers for driveways and patios to create hardscapes that are easier to repair if earthquake damage occurs.

What Does the Process of Hiring Sequoia Outdoor Entail?

Hiring us to design and manage your new landscape installation or landscape remodel is a simple process. It begins by scheduling a free consultation at your house. One of our landscape designers will meet you and discuss your ideas, timeline, and budget, assess the site, and then create a 3D rendering for you to review.

FAQ for Landscaping Services

How much does it cost to consult a landscape architect?

Landscape architects and landscape designers sometimes charge flat rates for consultations. Others charge an hourly fee that usually ranges from $30 to $80.

Sequoia Outdoor landscape designers offer a one-hour, on-site consultation free of charge.

What is the difference between a landscaper and a landscape designer?

Professional landscape designers work with homeowners to enhance front yard curb appeal, create backyard entertaining areas, and make their properties function better for their needs and lifestyles. They discuss budget, timeline, desired features, safety and infrastructure issues, materials, terrain, and any considerations that are unique to your property. They meet with the homeowner to go over the project, and then provide a 3D rendering, answer any questions they have, and oversee the landscape installation.

Landscapers work for landscape maintenance companies that provide maintenance services after the installation is complete. While they sometimes offer some basic tree trimming services and construction services, such as installing sod or an irrigation system, they generally provide services that include mowing, weeding, general lawn care, blowing or raking leaves, and maintaining irrigation systems.

How much do landscapers charge per hour in Woodside?

It is common for Woodside landscapers to charge between $25 and $50 per hour per person.

How much should I budget for a landscape project?

Landscape design and installation costs can vary quite a bit depending on where the property is located, which materials you choose, and the features that are included. A professionally completed project could be as low as $2,000, or it could be more than $50,000, depending on the particulars of the project.
