Landscape Contractor Palo Alto
Quality Green Gardening is a licensed C-27 landscape contractor in Palo Alto, working on Old Palo Alto estates, Professorville and Crescent Park mature landscapes, and eichler properties around Midtown and South Palo Alto. Palo Alto homeowners generally expect high-detail gardening care and hardscape that respects existing trees and architecture — we build and maintain to that standard.
Landscape work built for Palo Alto soil, lots and rules.
Soil & drainage — Palo Alto soils are mostly deep alluvial loam near the flats and heavier clay closer to the foothills. High water tables in parts of Crescent Park and Downtown North make drainage design (positive grading, sump-pump tie-ins where needed) part of most hardscape jobs.
Typical lots — Typical scope covers 5,000 – 10,000 sq ft lots with mature street trees and heritage landscaping, plus larger Old Palo Alto and Community Center parcels and small commercial sites along California Avenue and University Avenue.
Permits & water rules — Palo Alto has one of the strictest tree-protection ordinances in the Bay Area, covering coast live oaks, valley oaks and redwoods on private property. Impervious-surface limits and stormwater rules apply on hardscape — we work within them.

Common questions from Palo Alto property owners.
Do you work around Palo Alto protected trees like coast live oaks and redwoods?
Yes. We follow the Palo Alto tree protection ordinance, avoid grading and trenching inside drip lines, and coordinate with certified arborists for any project that impacts protected trees.
Can you replace an eichler-style landscape without changing the front elevation?
Yes. Eichler landscapes usually need irrigation rebuilds, drainage fixes and low, clean planting palettes. We keep the architectural line intact instead of imposing a generic yard design.
Do you handle Palo Alto stormwater and impervious-surface rules on pavers?
We use permeable paver options and design drainage that meets Palo Alto's impervious-surface limits so hardscape projects don't trigger stormwater compliance problems.
Do you offer weekly gardening maintenance in Palo Alto?
Yes. Weekly programs cover lawns, beds, hedges, detailed pruning, irrigation checks and seasonal cleanup — sized to the property and coordinated with existing tree work.
Can you install artificial turf in Palo Alto?
Yes, with proper permeable base and drainage. We also plan around Palo Alto's stormwater rules and any HOA or historic-district constraints on the property.
