Use A Licensed Landscaping Contractor

Landscaping is more than just using flowers, bushes and trees to make an open area attractive. It is a blend of both art and science. Art because the end result of the landscape design effort should be something that not just looks nice, but must both blend in and enhance the appeal of the property as a whole. It is a science because the landscaper must know how the plants as trees will look as they mature – a landscape is not something you change every year as the trees change their size and appearance. What type of plants grow best in a particular type of soil is a matter of importance on two counts – not only must the garden prosper but the amount of maintenance it will require must be taken into account. One licensed California contractor that has the art, science, experience and expertise to create a perfect landscape is CAL Landscaping.

The Complete Landscaping Solution

To create a beautiful landscape from design ideas requires an eye of an artist and the ability to visualize the final product in 3-D. And then the execution of the landscaping design to the finished product is the next challenging step. The gap between a concept and the reality can often be less than desirable. One of the main reasons this happens is because of a disconnect between the minds of the landscape designer and the implementer. Have a licensed landscaping contractor who is an expert at both design and implementation to that this does not happen.

Design-Create Landscaping

Design-build is a popular type of home remodeling. It means that there is one company that does everything from design, material supply and project execution. This ensures that the homeowner has to deal with only one project manager for all aspects of the job. Design-create applies this same principle to landscaping when one company is responsible for the project. You can be sure that the design you approve is the garden you will get. CAL Landscaping is a full service landscape design and implementation company that serves Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. They have designed and created some of the most beautiful landscaped gardens in the region and the testimonials they have received demonstrate their focus on client service. If you want to be sure of getting the best landscaping design and implementation done in a hassle free manner, call CAL Landscaping on 408.629.5073.

Environmentally Responsible Landscaping

Having a beautiful garden is part of being a proud homeowner. Besides providing pleasure to the family, a well landscaped garden adds to the appeal of the neighborhood. But that is not what environmentally responsible landscaping means today. With California going through a serious water crisis, using drought resistant landscaping ideas is the modern concept of being environmentally responsible. In fact, the state government is offering rebates to those who replace high water use plants with those that require little irrigation.

Drought Resistant Does Not Mean Ugly

Drought resistant plants are often taken to mean just a bunch of cacti. Nothing could be further from the truth. A professional licensed landscaping contractor will be able to offer you are range of flowers, shrubs and trees that not only need little water, but are extremely attractive and can be used to create landscaping design ideas that are as beautiful, if not more so, than landscape designs using high water use plants. One company that has built itself an excellent reputation for this kind of design and landscaping installation work is CAL Landscaping (License no 858846), which includes Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties in its service area. A look at their portfolio will reveal the great work that they do.

The Green Green Grass Of Home

A garden is not just the open space in the front or back of your home. An unkempt or badly laid out yard can hurt the appeal of a beautiful house. On the other hand, a well landscaped garden can take the focus away from any architectural flaws in a building. Besides enhancing the beauty of a house, a garden offers a place for the family to get outdoors and relax; whether it is lying in a hammock with a book or having friends over for a barbeque.

To use Walt Whitman's words - "A morning-glory at my window / Satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books."

First impressions are important and the first thing a visitor sees is the front garden. It is this first impression that defines the occupants of the house in the mind of the visitor. Another reason for landscaping gardens is that they enhance what is known as the "curb appeal" of the house. This is the term that realtors use to describe the reaction of a potential buyer. A landscaped garden indicates to the prospective buyer that the home owner is someone who takes pride in his home and has maintained it well, which is a huge selling point.

A company like CAL Landscaping can ensure that the external appeal of a home is maximized. Our years of experience in landscaping and our design flair have created some of the most beautifully landscaped gardens in Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties.

At CAL Landscaping, we make every effort to give the client what he or she wants. We spend time with the homeowner to understand his tastes, his desires and his budget. We then offer suggestions and guidance to help create the right landscape design. We know that the garden, like the house itself, is an expression of an individual's personality. Once we understand what the client is looking for, we develop the design and present it to the client, along with a budget estimate and details of the logistics for approval. Any modifications the client may want are incorporated into the design. Once the client is happy with the plan, we begin the work. Throughout the landscaping process, we communicate with the client to keep him informed of the progress.

Many people, while they would like a beautiful garden, are not interested in gardening or feel that they do not have green thumbs. Others feel they just lack the time to maintain it. At CAL Landscaping we know how to tackle these problems. We can create a beautifully landscaped garden using drought resistant and low maintenance plants, and provide an irrigation system that will reduce garden maintenance to a minimum. In fact, these drought resistant landscape concepts are becoming very popular not just because of the low maintenance but because it shows that the homeowner is a socially and environmentally conscious citizen. With California facing a water crisis, low hydrating but beautiful gardens are the way to go. The state government is even offering rebates to those who replace high water-use gardens with low water-use ones. If you would like to know more about this, visit valleywater.org.
