    Sequoia Outdoor Design & Build
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 11, 2023
    “This company is great and very helpful. They know their stuff when it comes to design, cost and installation. Knowledgeable, professional, they kept me informed and always seemed to go the extra mile to make sure to get it right the first time. I definitely recommend checking them out.”
    Kristen Rudger Landscape Design
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 12, 2013
    “Kristen designed a beautiful makeover for our yard - front, back and sides. She asked lots of questions before designing anything - what we wanted (pavers, pretty flowers), what we didn't want (water feature, yellow flowers) and in general, how we wanted to use our yard. She came up with lovely, detailed plans for a traditional looking garden (with our traditional looking house) - that were revised slightly with discussion, then found a couple of contractors to bid on the work. She supervised the work of the one we chose, making sure they followed the plans. She recommended a new gardner - good choice. About a year later she replaced the few plants that hadn't made it (for no charge), and now almost two years later the place is absolutely beautiful! I can't tell you how many complements we have received ever since the job was originally completed - and they continue to this day!”
    R&R Backyard Remodeling
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 11, 2022
    “We hired R&R to build a 1,900 sqft deck, outdoor kitchen and seating area. The team was outstanding! I can't say enough great things about these guys. They were clear about what they were going to do, when they were going to do it, and then in the end, it all happened as they said it would. The entire team was fantastic to work with. They came with great ideas and delivered for us every step of the way. If you are looking to remodel your backyard, look no further - this is your team. Choose anyone else at your own risk. Ron and the team are by far the best contractors I've ever worked with. Plus they are great guys on top of it, which makes the process move so much more smoothly. We never had to chase anyone down or wonder when anything was going to happen. They were great communicators throughout the entire project and we absolutely love our new backyard. Highly recommend working with them!”
    Bonnie Brock Landscape Design
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 9, 2014
    “Bonnie designed my backyard landscaping and it turned out better than I could have imagined. She designed a beautiful paver patio surrounded with a lush garden of plants. She is committed to low water, low maintenance, and organic gardening.”
    Terra Rubina
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 19, 2013
    “Juliana of Terra Rubina designed the soft-scape of my dismal garden and transformed it from an Adams Family smorgasbord of grey and brown to a vibrant, verdant retreat. Years later her initial plantings have held up beautifully. Juliana is honest, resourceful, sensitive to the client's tastes, and is a delightful person. Five stars: highest recommendation.”
    Kaiser Gardens
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 28, 2016
    “Lisa and her team designed and installed a garden in front of our house that had previously been a dead zone. Lisa had great ideas and seemed very knowledgable. He installation team and great and very professional.”
    Keith Willig Landscape Architecture, Inc.
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 9, 2015
    “We worked with Keith this last winter to redo essentially all of the yard space for our suburban home. This included front (yard, walkways, driveway), back (yard, patio), sides (planter boxes, walkways). We're very happy with not just the results, but the experience of working with Keith. Our house is an Eichler, so we were looking for a modern aesthetic in the design phase. Both Keith and designer Charlie Loy worked on preliminary design iterations. We worked with Keith directly as the design finalized, through the inevitable tradeoffs between features & budget. Through the build process, Keith was creative, flexible, and unflappable in making design and build adjustments due to complications (tree overhang required fire put to move, which meant the layout of some key benches and walls had to move, Keith worked out a new design immediately) and opportunities (turning some reclaimed boulders and river rocks into a water-less water feature). Budget and schedule: Our budget was around $100K, and we were able to stick pretty close to it, by changing some design elements so that the final design was at budget. Once we were in the build phase, both budget and schedule went without a hitch. Of course there were delays, but Keith and Cesar, his foreman, kept us informed, and worked around delays (inspections, parts not showing up) as much as they could. The whole crew was professional and thoughtful throughout the process -remember when we had those big storms in Nov /Dec - they made sure that even tho the yard was a muddy mess, we had clear access to the house. In the end, we're very very happy, and I would whole-heartedly recommend Keith Willig. Our new landscaping is not only beautiful, its 10X more usable! Keith & co were able to unlock parts of the property that we didn't even think about, and make them great.”
    Seed Studio Landscape Design
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 10, 2014
    “Steve Ritchey of Seed Design is a talent and was really cool to work with. He was exactly the type of landscape designer we were looking to partner with on redesigning our narrow and long backyard space in San Francisco. He designed a beautiful, unique, clean, modern space for us. Steve offered creative ideas and solutions, directed us to lots of good local and online resources for sourcing materials, quickly responded to all our questions, and was deeply committed to delivering us a beautiful design that fit our aesthetic and met our budget. And he did just that; our beautiful backyard is a testament to his vision and commitment. Highly recommend Seed Studio for city dwellers in San Francisco, and those around the Bay and beyond.”
    Montgomery Robbins, Inc.

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 8, 2013

    Rock Paper Clippers
    Landscape Architects & Designers in South San Francisco
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2017
    “After attempting to design our front and backyard on our own....and never feeling satisfied with our ideas we decided it was time to hire a designer. Having known Kathy on a personal level for a few years she seemed like the perfect choice. I emailed her to ask about how she worked, cost, etc....and she got back to me promptly with detailed answers to my questions. We set up a time to do a walk through and we were impressed immediately by her eye for design, plant knowledge, thorough approach to the design/project, and creativity. We spent months brainstorming together in person, over email, through text, and even via Pinterest board. She created a wonderful landscaping plan complete with a visual plant list. The design included a paver driveway, rock walls, rock bench, DG patio, travertine patio, lawn, electric water feature, stone bird feeder, and beautiful drought resistant plants. We were pleased with her design and perfectionist attitude (woman of my own heart). When the design was complete we had a hard time finding a contractor in our price range that we felt comfortable with. Kathy went above and beyond to help us find the right person. We were so touched by her desire to make sure we had the right contractor to work on our yard for us that we hired her on to check on the project weekly. The project was completely in a timely manner (even with all the crazy rain), and turned out just perfect. To be honest it is even better than we imagined! We can't wait for all of our little plants to grow! She did an amazing job transforming our ivy jungle into a safe place for our toddler and dog to explore. We are already loving all of our time relaxing in our new space. She listened to all of our hopes and desires and truly created a special place.”

    Why Hiring Professional Landscape Architects is Essential for Your Project


    When it comes to shaping outdoor spaces, the role of landscape architects is indispensable. Their expertise goes far beyond aesthetics; they are key to creating functional landscapes that offer lasting positive impacts for individuals, communities, and the environment. For clients seeking to make a meaningful difference through their projects, hiring a professional landscape architect in South San Francisco is not just an option—it's a necessity. Here’s why.


    South San Francisco Landscape Architects: Expertise That Turns Vision into Reality


    Landscape architects possess a unique combination of creativity and technical skill that allows them to transform visions into reality.

When you find landscape architects with the right expertise, you are not just hiring a designer; you are partnering with a professional in South San Francisco who understands how to balance beauty with utility.


    Creating Lasting Positive Impact on Communities


    One of the most significant benefits of hiring a professional landscape architect in South San Francisco is the lasting positive impact their work can have on communities.

They design public spaces that offer a refuge from the concrete jungle, promoting mental and physical well-being among residents. These spaces, whether they are small pocket parks or expansive urban plazas, become the heart of the built community, offering a place for connection and relaxation.

    Human-Centered Design for All


    At the heart of landscape architecture is a commitment to human-centered design. South San Francisco Landscape architects understand that the spaces they create will be used by a diverse range of people, each with their own needs and preferences.

These gardens are carefully planned to provide a sense of calm and connection to nature, which is essential in healthcare and for promoting recovery and well-being. Similarly, in educational settings, outdoor spaces are designed to support learning and play, offering students a range of experiences that contribute to their development.

A well-designed landscape enhances the architectural features of a building, provides functional outdoor spaces, and contributes to the overall success of the project.
