Landscape Construction

Landscape Construction and installation is where the DESIGN begins to take the physical shape and it happens to be our favorite step in the process.

At Landscape Therapist, we focus our attention to "below-ground" preparation before we even start to build. We’ve found that in order to create long lasting and healthy landscaping, you’ve first start with a solid foundation. For example, we only build the paver driveway with solid underground preparation and compaction. We carefully designed it to withstand weight over a long period of time, preventing the driveway from ever losing its evenness. Success is in the planning, process, execution and tentative to details. Before we build, we sometimes may need to:

  • Create a supporting underground drainage system to direct water properly.
  • Demo an older existing system.
  • Check up and update the pipes.
  • Inspect the soil type.

we realize that the success of any Landscape construction lies in the planning, process, attention to details and execution. We understand that sustainable landscape construction involves taking into consideration the local climate, minimum consumption of resources, avoiding the usage of toxic chemicals and above all, conserving water. Sustainable Landscaping includes a variety of things and plays a major role in effective Landscape Construction.

Landscaping Driveway Sunnyvale

Paver is one of the best materials for driveways. It is durable, affordable and looks great. Unlike concrete, it crakes over time, paver driveway is here to stay.

Landscaping Sunnyvale Before and After

This Sunnyvale landscape really had a sad look on its face when we first met. So we had to demo the old deck, remove the trees and do a major clean up before we build. The home owner wanted a low maintenance garden, so we created this mostly evergreen garden with paver walkways to stroll through the garden.

Even before starting any landscape construction activity, we pay a lot of attention to the ground below. At Landscape Therapist, we believe that for creating a green, healthy and long lasting landscape, you will have to begin with a solid foundation.  Consider this – if we have to build pavers for driveways in San Jose, we build it with thorough preparation and compaction underground. We design it in such a way that it can withstand solid weights over long periods, thus ensuring that your pavers for driveways in Woodside remains even at all times. 

In some instances, even before we start the landscape construction process, we may have to create a supporting drainage system to ensure smooth flow of water. We may need to check the existing drainage system along with the pipes too. In a few cases we may also have to inspect the soil type as well. There are a few areas where we may have to remove some dense clay soil and replace it with soil rich in nutrients so that the plants can survive and thrive in the local climatic conditions.
 At Landscape Therapist, we suggest our clients to consider a few points before taking up any sustainable construction activity. They include:

We also take into active consideration the following steps which are integral to landscape construction. They include:

Our horticulturists work with a variety of soils, fertilizers and compost to ensure sustainable landscaping. Erosion control for a Palo Alto home is an important aspect of effective landscaping. Realizing this, we work with a variety of native plants and at the same time make use of soil supplements so that even the non native plants can be blended into the local soils to create sustainable landscaping in your garden.

In some of Los Altos areas, we may need to remove some of the dense clay soil and replaced with good soil with nutrients for the plants to thrive.
