My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Palo Alto

Stroke of Nature Landscape Design
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 18, 2025
“We worked with David on our landscaping redesign - a complete refresh after 30 years. He’s excellent to work with, creative, practical, and listens to what you want to accomplish. Our design process was quite smooth and his organized approach (he identified all steps of his process in advance) lets you know what’s next and how he will approach your project. He even assisted in suggesting some contractors and reviewing bids to ensure we were getting good quotes. We’re now in the implementation stage and will be engaging David to help us realize his beautiful design. I highly recommend Stroke of Nature for your landscaping project.”
Montgomery Robbins, Inc.
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 19, 2025
“About 15 years ago, one of my clients asked for a landscaping referral. After decades in high-end residential construction, I’ll admit I’d never been overly impressed with the options out there. Fast forward to today—Montgomery Robbins sits firmly at the top of my list. They’ve absolutely earned that spot. Their approach aligns perfectly with ours: quality work, personalized care, and genuine professionalism, all backed by decades of hands-on experience. We have complete confidence in their ability to deliver exceptional landscape plans. If you’re building or remodeling your home, definitely put them on your list to interview. Take a look at their website and chat with them—it won’t take long to see why they stand out. Five stars”
Hrano Design
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Palo Alto
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2025
“We found Zuzana through a local nursery, and we are so glad we did! She did a wonderful job designing our front lawn with so many thoughtful features and beautiful plants. We had a lot of details we wanted included, and she paid close attention to all of them. Our priority was drought-resistant and deer-resistant plants, and she delivered a design that was not only practical but stunning. Zuzana is very personable, easy to work with, and makes the whole process enjoyable. She also referred us to WaterPivot Landscaping Company as our landscaping contractors, and they were equally wonderful to work with. We are so grateful for that referral—the entire team was professional, skilled, and did excellent work bringing her design to life. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Zuzana (and WaterPivot) to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and detail-oriented landscaping team.”
