Expert Landscape Design in Morgan Hill, CA

STG Landscaping offers landscape design built specifically for Morgan Hill properties. Our process starts with a site assessment that looks at your soil conditions, drainage, sun exposure, and existing vegetation. Morgan Hill's Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. That pattern shapes every plant and layout decision we make. The city also enforces a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, which requires low or very-low water-use plant selections on qualifying projects. We design with those requirements in mind from day one. Whether your lot sits in an established neighborhood or on a larger parcel near the valley's open edges, we create a plan that fits your space and your lifestyle. From outdoor living areas and hardscape integration to irrigation layout and plant placement, every detail is mapped out before a single shovel hits the ground. Contact STG Landscaping to schedule your site assessment and get a design plan built for your Morgan Hill property.

We recently completed a full backyard renovation with STG Landscaping, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Our project included a complete outdoor living space with a custom pergola, TimberTech decking, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, lighting, drainage, irrigation, landscaping, and numerous custom details. From start to finish, Carlos and his team were professional, hardworking, and easy to work with. Communication was excellent throughout the project. Carlos was always available to answer questions, discuss ideas, and make adjustments as the project evolved. His crew, led by Juan, took pride in their work and paid attention to the details. Whenever a question or small issue came up, they responded quickly and made sure it was taken care of. One thing that stood out was their willingness to collaborate. Rather than simply installing what was on the plans, they offered suggestions and worked with us to make sure the finished project looked and functioned the way we envisioned. The quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations. The stonework, decking, lighting, outdoor kitchen, and overall finish all came together beautifully, and the backyard has completely transformed our home. We would absolutely recommend STG Landscaping to anyone looking for a contractor that communicates well, stands behind their work, and delivers a high-quality finished product. Thank you to Carlos, Juan, and the entire STG team for creating a backyard our family will enjoy for years to come.

We called STG Landscaping to remove a very large dying tree in front of our house. They did a great job! The tree was very close to the house and our front deck. They were very careful to protect the house and deck as they were removing the tree. They took down the tree, got rid of the stump and roots and cleaned up all the debris. They even got on our roof and blew off all the leaves left behind by the tree. We're very happy with the result.

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 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!
