“Jerry’s crew did a great job on my project. His quotes were timely and reasonable. They spent a week here and after each day’s work the yard was cleared. Very happy with the quality of work and the demeanor of the crew. I highly recommend Nieto Landscaping.”
Pete SouzaGoogle review
★★★★★
“Nieto Landscaping & Maintenance did a terrific job on the yard at my new home! This was a pretty big job, requiring a lot of work putting in a new lawn, adding mulch, as well as planting new plants, trees and flowers. Jerry and his crew were highly knowledgeable and professional. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Now have them for regular maintenance. Highly recommended!”

“Jerry is wonderful and I would recommend him for any of your garden needs. He’s professional and personable. He trimmed up our ugly Cypress tree for a reasonable cost and did a fantastic job. He did all clean up as well. 5 Stars!!”

Good questions

Everything people ask before they call.

Straight answers, no fine print. If yours isn't here, the phone works too.

How much does landscaping cost?

It depends on the project. A maintenance plan and a full backyard build are different animals. What's always true: the estimate is free, and the price we agree on is the price you pay. We walk the property, listen to what you want, and bring back a clear written number. No pressure, no surprise add-ons mid-project.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. There's a 0% no-interest option, and you can prequalify with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score. Ask at your estimate and we'll walk you through what's available for the size of your project.

What is fire-smart landscaping, and do I need it?

It's defensible space designed zone by zone: the 0–5 ft ember-resistant band at your walls, lean plantings from 5–30 ft, reduced fuel out to 100 ft, built so it still looks like a garden, not a fire break.

If you're in Sonoma County, your insurer likely cares whether you have it. Preparing for an inspection? Bring us the letter and we'll walk the property with the requirements in hand.

Do you handle both the design and the work itself?

Yes, that's the whole point of how we're built. One crew designs it, builds it, and can keep caring for it for years. No handoffs between a designer, a contractor, and a maintenance company who've never met. The people who planted your garden are the ones who prune it.

How do maintenance plans work?

A set schedule, a set scope, and the same crew every visit: mowing, edging, pruning, seasonal cleanups, fertilization, and irrigation checks, tuned to your property. Because it's the crew that already knows your yard, small problems get caught before they're expensive ones.

Do you work with businesses and HOAs, or just homes?

Both. Residential is our bread and butter, and we care for commercial properties across the county: offices and business parks, retail and storefronts, HOA common areas, wineries and hospitality, and multi-site facilities.

Commercial work runs on scheduled crews with one point of contact, so nobody at your end has to chase anything. Walkthroughs and proposals are free, with no obligation.

What areas do you serve?

All of Sonoma County, based out of Windsor. That includes Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Sonoma, and the towns between them. Not sure whether you're in range? Give us a call and we'll tell you straight.

How soon can you start?

Send us a message or call and we'll get the free estimate on the calendar. Start dates depend on the season and what's already booked, so rather than guess here, we give you an honest date at the estimate, and we keep it.
