Outdoor spaces built with
care and craft

STG Landscaping was founded in 2009 by Samuel Lopez, a craftsman who believed that outdoor spaces deserved the same care and precision as the homes they surround. Starting with a clear focus on quality workmanship and honest relationships, Samuel built the company one project at a time across the South Bay and Peninsula. That foundation — steady, hands-on, and client-first — is still the core of everything we do today.

In 2024, Samuel's son Carlos Lopez joined the business, bringing a fresh perspective and a shared commitment to the family's standards. Around the same time, Juan Estevez, a longtime friend and trusted crew member who had been part of the company since its early years, stepped into a formal partnership role. Together, Samuel, Carlos, and Juan formed STG Landscaping as it stands today — three people with deep roots in this work and a shared vision for what great outdoor spaces can look like.

We specialize in full backyard transformations and custom hardscape projects. Whether you want a new outdoor kitchen, a pergola for shade and entertaining, a fire pit for cool South Bay evenings, or a complete paver patio, we plan and build it from start to finish. We also install artificial turf, sod, retaining walls, water features, porcelain tile, concrete, and landscape lighting. If your yard needs structure, we build it. If it needs life, we plant it.

Every project starts with listening. We want to understand how you use your outdoor space, what you want it to feel like, and what your property can realistically support. From there, we put together a plan that fits your goals and your budget — no guesswork, no surprises mid-project. That attention to detail is something clients across Morgan Hill, San Jose, Saratoga, Los Gatos, and the wider Bay Area have come to count on.

Our service area covers a wide stretch of the Bay Area and Peninsula, including Campbell, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Mateo, Hillsborough, Fremont, Danville, and Walnut Creek. No matter where your property is located within our service area, the same crew and the same standards show up to every job.

We are a licensed and insured business operating as an S-Corp. Our EIN is 33-4823001. When you hire STG Landscaping, you are working with a company that stands behind its work legally, professionally, and personally.

If you are ready to stop looking at a yard that does not work for you and start enjoying an outdoor space that does, give us a call. We offer free estimates and are happy to walk your property and talk through what is possible. Reach us at (408) 767-8018 or email carlos@stglandscape.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

What you can count on

Family-Run Since 2009

STG Landscaping was started by Samuel Lopez and has grown into a family and trusted-partner operation. That history means you work with people who have real stakes in every project.

Full-Scope Hardscape Work

We handle pavers, retaining walls, concrete, porcelain, and outdoor kitchens under one crew. You get a single point of contact from layout to final cleanup.

Attention to Site Detail

Every project starts with a close look at your yard's grade, drainage, and existing features. That groundwork prevents costly fixes after installation.

Clean, Organized Job Sites

We remove debris and stage materials carefully throughout each phase of work. Your property stays safe and accessible while the project is in progress.

Honest Communication

You get straight answers about scope, materials, and what to expect at each stage. No surprises, no vague updates.

Lasting Material Choices

We recommend materials suited to the South Bay climate and your long-term maintenance preferences. The goal is a yard that holds up, not just one that photographs well.

Carlos and the entire team delivered exceptional service from beginning to end. I had reached out after seeing the positive reviews they had received on Next Door, and I was not disappointed. STG meticulously re-poured my mow strip, trimmed back the roots from the large magnolia tree, and replanted sod. They also removed a tree stump and cleared away all the old plants, transforming my front strip into a beautiful landscape with a mature tree and a variety of plants. I would highly recommend them.

Carlos and the rest of the team at STG Landscaping provided an exceptional experience from the moment of the first call until our project was done. Out of the 5 businesses we reached out to for estimates, STG was head and shoulders above the rest in price, professionalism, and customer service. We were even more impressed by the quality of work that was done with our fence (pictured). We're looking forward to working with STG again for continued projects on our home.

We got quotes from several companies and ended up picking STG Landscaping to redo our front yard. They provided an extremely thorough initial quote and came out multiple times to answer questions we had. We asked if they could do the work in the next 2 weeks and they ended up working long days and getting it all done in 3 days! Carlos was extremely responsive and professional and ensured we knew how to keep up with our new grass. Before our yard was just hard packed dirt and weeds with a ton of existing roots from a huge tree that’s no longer here. Now we have a beautiful front lawn and sprinklers! They even put in a drip system for me to plant flowers in a flower bed and they re-trenched our gutter drain pipes to the street. We are so happy with their work and will be using them in the future for more projects!

We needed a retaining wall replaced and pronto! The side of our property was sliding onto our neighbor’s yard and the weather report was predicting a heavy rain system coming soon. I reached out to Carlos who came over the same day to survey the landslide and later that night he sent a detailed quote and a very reasonable price! They arrived early every morning and even working in the rain, knowing our concern about avoiding any more possible damage to our neighbor’s yard. I greatly appreciated the crew cleaning around the site at the end of each day so that we could easily get into/out of our home without a hassle. Carlos communicated regularly throughout the project giving updates every day. The entire crew were diligent, organized and professional. The retaining wall looks fantastic and we are super happy with the outcome! Highly recommend this team for your landscaping projects! Thank you, Estevez Landscaping!

We did a full backyard and front yard work with Carlos and his team. He brought in great ideas and was able to execute the design perfectly. They were meticulous, paid attention to every detail, and completed the project on time. We are very happy with the way the project turned out. We will happily recommend Carlos for any landscaping related work.
