El’s Hardscaping offers reliable and thoughtful Landscaping Services in Redwood City CA, Palo Alto, East Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Fremont. From planting and lawn care to grading and irrigation, we focus on solutions that work with the local climate, soil, and property needs. Our team doesn’t overcomplicate things — we just do what it takes to build and maintain healthy, attractive outdoor areas that last.

What Our Landscaping Services Include

Our landscaping team handles both the foundational and finishing touches of outdoor areas. Here’s what we offer:

Planting & Garden Beds

We help select and install plants that thrive in local conditions — from drought-tolerant shrubs to flowering perennials. Seasonal choices are considered to keep your yard looking good year-round without overwatering or constant replanting.

Grading & Drainage

Poor grading can lead to soggy spots, soil erosion, or root damage. Our team re-contours lawns and installs drainage systems to ensure water flows properly away from your home or patio.

Lawn Installation & Care

We offer new lawn installation using sod or artificial turf, depending on your maintenance preferences. For existing lawns, we handle mowing, fertilization, aeration, and weed control as part of ongoing maintenance plans.

Mulching & Edging

Mulch helps regulate soil moisture, blocks weeds, and improves plant health. We install organic or rubber mulch depending on the area’s purpose. For a neat finish, we also edge beds and lawn borders using stone, metal, or concrete barriers.

Irrigation Systems

Smart irrigation saves water and keeps your lawn and garden hydrated efficiently. We install and maintain drip systems, sprinklers, and timers that match your yard’s size and layout.

Landscape Lighting

Lighting adds both security and appeal. From pathway lights to uplighting for trees, we install systems that make outdoor spaces usable after dark — and safe to walk through.

Frequently Asked Questions

At a minimum, systems should be inspected seasonally. Emitters, timers, and valves may require adjustments as plant needs change or after weather shifts, especially during dry or windy periods.

It can help temporarily, but long-term effectiveness varies. Weeds can still grow on top. In planting areas, it’s better to rely on mulch depth and soil health instead.

Hydroseeding is less expensive but takes weeks to establish. Sod offers instant coverage and erosion control. We recommend sod in high-traffic or sloped areas for quicker results.
