Six-week lead on new design builds. Maintenance routes open across Woodside, Emerald Hills, and Mount Carmel. Free site visits Tuesdays through Fridays.
BellaVista Landscape Services Inc. designs, builds, and tends gardens that age with grace — from weekly lawn care in Woodside to full hardscape rebuilds on the Emerald Hills ridge.
BellaVista began in 2009 with a single truck, a reel mower, and a stubborn belief that a Redwood City garden should feel like it was always there. Fifteen years on, we are a team of nine — designers, horticulturalists, masons, and a crew that knows the difference between Adobe loam and the sandstone ledge above Alameda de las Pulgas.
We do not install lawns and disappear. We build gardens that earn their keep in October fog and August heat alike, then return weekly to keep them honest.
Every plant we specify has to earn its place in a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and bone-dry summers. We lean on California natives, Mediterranean perennials, and a short list of proven performers — then mulch, irrigate, and prune so they outlive the trend that brought them in.
Transparent, indicative pricing for Redwood City homes. Final quotes depend on lot size, slope, and scope — we will walk your property before any number is locked. No subscriptions required; no surprise line items.
Weekly mowing, edging, and cleanup for turf between 1,500 and 8,000 sq ft. Includes reel-mower finish on front lawns, clippings hauled off-site, and a seasonal fertilization calendar tuned to Redwood City clay.
Full site plan including hardscape layout, planting palette, irrigation zones, and a phased install schedule. Two on-site consultations, hand-rendered plan set, and a plant sourcing list delivered in four to six weeks.
Twice-monthly garden visits through the growing season: pruning, deadheading, weeding, mulch refresh, and irrigation checks. Ideal for established beds that need a steady hand rather than a one-off reset.
Flagstone patios, dry-stack retaining walls, decomposed granite paths, and raised cedar beds. Built by our own masons — not subcontracted — with footings dug to Peninsula code and drainage pitched away from the foundation.
Drip and rotor system design, install, and retrofit — including smart controllers, rain sensors, and conversion of spray heads to in-line drip for water savings of 30 to 50 percent on typical Peninsula lots.
Structural pruning for ornamentals up to 18 feet, fruit tree pruning on a dormant-season calendar, and shrub rejuvenation. We do not climb — anything above our ladder height goes to a certified arborist we trust.
Spring wake-up and autumn put-to-bed visits: leaf clearing, perennial cutback, bed re-edging, mulch top-up, and a full gutter-and-downspout flush. Booked in two-hour windows, crew of three.
Book a free 45-minute site visit. We walk the property, talk through options, and send a written estimate within three business days.
A straightforward path from first call to first cut. We keep design, build, and maintenance under one roof so nothing is lost between the plan and the planting.
We meet on-site, listen to what the garden is doing now and what you want it to do next. No charge, no obligation — just a notebook, a tape measure, and an honest read on what is worth keeping.
Within two weeks you receive a hand-rendered plan set: hardscape layout, planting palette keyed to sun and water, irrigation zones, and a phased install schedule. One round of revisions is included.
Our crew installs hardscape first, then soil prep, then planting. Irrigation goes in before the last plant so nothing goes thirsty. Typical builds run two to four weeks depending on weather and scope.
A garden is not finished when the last plant goes in — that is when it starts. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly maintenance routes so the garden you approved on paper is the garden you live in five years on.
A small selection from the past two seasons. Every garden below is within twelve miles of our Redwood City yard — and every one is still on a maintenance route.
BellaVista rebuilt our back patio, re-graded the drainage, and replanted the border in three weeks. Two years on, the garden looks better than the day they finished — and the crew still shows up every other Tuesday like clockwork.
Send a few details and we will be in touch within two business days to schedule a free site visit. For urgent maintenance requests, call the yard directly — we answer between 7am and 4pm, Monday through Friday.
