We draw it.
Then we build it.

David comes to your home, walks the space with you, and talks through what's possible — materials, layout, rough budget, and the look you're after. You leave with a real sense of direction and a quote. No pressure, no obligation, and no charge. Most people say it's the most useful hour they spent on the whole project.

New driveways and patios start around $4,995, and full-yard transformations scale from there based on size and materials. The honest answer is that every yard is different — that's exactly what the free study is for. We'll give you a clear number you can plan around, with no surprise line items later.

Yes. DGS holds a California C-27 Landscaping Contractor license, our team is background-checked, and we've been doing this for 16 years. You're hiring an established local studio — not a crew that's here today and gone next season.

A driveway can be done in a matter of days; a full backyard takes longer. The difference with us is you'll have a clear timeline up front and one crew that actually shows up to hit it — no projects left half-finished for weeks.

Yes — that's the point of DGS. We design it, demo the old space, build the hardscape, plant, handle drainage and irrigation, and add lighting. One accountable studio, start to finish, so you're never chasing three different contractors.

Fair worry — it happens with cut-corner crews. We choose plants suited to our climate, prep the ground properly, and use the right materials and sealers so the work holds up. Sixteen years of referrals and a perfect 5.0 exist because our projects still look great years later.

We focus on new builds and full transformations where our design and craftsmanship really show — most projects start around $4,995. If you've got something smaller in mind, reach out anyway and we'll point you in the right direction.
