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.

Expert Site Preparation in Morgan Hill, CA
Site preparation is the foundation of every successful landscape project in Morgan Hill. Before any planting, hardscape, or irrigation work begins, the ground itself must be ready. At STG Landscaping, we handle land clearing, rough and fine grading, soil work, and drainage shaping to give your project a stable base. Morgan Hill properties sit between the Diablo Range and Santa Cruz Mountains, and many lots deal with sloped terrain, clay-heavy soil, and seasonal stormwater runoff. Poor drainage left uncorrected leads to soil erosion, standing water near foundations, and failed landscaping installations. We assess each site for slope, soil condition, and water flow before any equipment moves. Work includes debris and vegetation removal, grade correction, soil amendment where needed, and rough drainage shaping. Every step is done to support what comes next, whether that is a new lawn, a patio, a retaining wall, or a full landscape build. Call STG Landscaping to schedule a site walk in Morgan Hill.
