Landscape Contractor San Jose
Quality Green Gardening is a licensed C-27 landscape contractor in San Jose serving single-family homes, estate properties, HOAs and commercial sites across the city. San Jose properties range from flat Willow Glen lots with mature street trees to hillside parcels above Almaden and Evergreen where drainage and defensible space matter as much as curb appeal. Our crews handle recurring gardening maintenance, paver installation, retaining walls, irrigation rebuilds and full landscape construction, so one company can maintain a property week to week and improve it when the landscape needs more.
Landscape work built for San Jose soil, lots and rules.
Soil & drainage — Most San Jose yards sit on expansive Bay Area clay that swells in winter and cracks in summer. Base depth and compaction on hardscape, plus positive grading away from foundations, are the difference between a paver patio that lasts and one that heaves in three years.
Typical lots — Typical work ranges from 4,000 – 8,000 sq ft interior lots in Willow Glen, Cambrian and Rose Garden to larger 1/4 – 1/2 acre parcels in Almaden Valley and Silver Creek, plus multifamily and retail sites near downtown and North San Jose.
Permits & water rules — San Jose enforces Valley Water non-functional turf restrictions and offers landscape rebates through the Santa Clara Valley Water District. Retaining walls over 4 ft and most drainage tie-ins to the city storm system require permits through San Jose Development Services — we plan scope with that in mind.

Common questions from San Jose property owners.
Do you serve all of San Jose, including hillside neighborhoods like Almaden and Silver Creek?
Yes. We maintain and build on flat neighborhoods like Willow Glen and Rose Garden and on hillside lots in Almaden Valley, Silver Creek and the Evergreen foothills, where drainage and defensible-space planting are part of the plan.
Do I need a permit for a paver patio or walkway in San Jose?
Simple at-grade paver patios and walkways typically don't require a permit, but retaining walls over 4 ft, drainage tie-ins to city storm, and any structure changes do. We flag permit-triggering scope during the site walk.
Can I still install a lawn in San Jose?
Yes for functional lawn areas that the household actually uses. Non-functional turf in front yards and commercial strips is restricted under Valley Water rules, so we plan replacements with low-water plantings, mulch or artificial turf where a real lawn isn't allowed.
Do you offer weekly gardening maintenance for San Jose estate properties?
Yes. Larger San Jose properties usually run on a weekly schedule with a dedicated crew covering lawns, beds, detailed pruning, irrigation observations and seasonal cleanups.
Do you fix Bay Area clay drainage problems?
We regrade planting areas, install French drains and area drains, and rework downspout tie-ins so water moves off the property instead of pooling against foundations and hardscape.
Let's get the property under consistent care.
