Thoughtful landscaping for Palo Alto homes, from Eichlers to Craftsman bungalows. Water-wise design, smart irrigation and hardscaping, planned with care around mature and protected trees.
Palo Alto has some of the Bay Area's most distinctive residential architecture: mid-century Eichlers in neighborhoods like Greenmeadow and Fairmeadow, Craftsman and Victorian homes in Professorville and Crescent Park, and older homes on mature, tree-lined lots in Old Palo Alto and College Terrace near Stanford. A good landscape here works with the house, not against it.
Mature trees are a big part of that character, and the City of Palo Alto protects certain trees, including specific oaks, redwoods and designated heritage trees. Work near protected trees can require permits or an arborist's guidance, so we plan grading, trenching and irrigation with those rules in mind. Our focus is water-wise plantings, efficient irrigation and clean hardscape details that suit older and mid-century homes alike.

Common questions about landscaping in Palo Alto.
Possibly. Palo Alto protects certain trees, including specific oak and redwood species above size thresholds and designated heritage trees, and work within their root zones can require a permit or arborist report. We plan projects with these rules in mind and recommend confirming requirements with the City of Palo Alto before work starts.
Eichlers pair well with simple, open layouts: clean-lined pavers, gravel, structural plants like grasses and succulents, and strong indoor-outdoor connections through their glass walls. Low, uncluttered plantings help keep sightlines open.
