WE DO BAD THINGS TO BORING YARDS.

WE BREAK GROUND. NOT PROMISES.

We know where most landscaping companies mess up. We're building this one to fix it.

01 / What we do

WHAT WE
BREAK GROUND ON.

Installs and makeovers, front yard to back fence. Every job is scoped and priced up front, built by a dedicated crew, and walked with you before we call it done.

01

DESIGN + INSTALL

Full-yard plans drawn to your lot, sun and budget, then built start to finish.

02

HARDSCAPES

Paver walkways, patios, steps, flagstone and retaining walls, built on a real base.

03

XERISCAPE + NATIVES

Native and adapted grasses, agaves and perennials that handle heat without a water habit.

04

NEW SOD

Old turf stripped, soil graded and prepped, fresh sod rolled tight with clean edges.

05

ARTIFICIAL TURF

Compacted base, seamless seams and secured edges. Green all year, no mowing.

06

OUTDOOR LIGHTING

Low-voltage path, wall and uplighting so the yard still works after sunset.

07

YARD MAKEOVERS

Rock, mulch, steel edging and bed rebuilds. The fast fix for a tired yard.

BUILT FROM THE DIRT UP. The part you never see is the part that keeps it flat. We spec the base on every hardscape before a single paver gets set.
02 / The bad list

FOUR WAYS IT GOES WRONG. FOUR WAYS WE FIXED IT.

Hiring a landscaper shouldn't feel like a coin flip. These are the problems homeowners report over and over, with the numbers to back them up, and what we built this company to do about each one.

Problem 01The old way

THEY NEVER SHOWED.

36%

of homeowners say contractors don't start work when they said they would.1

Failing to show up was the #1 complaint about contractors in Consumer Reports research.2

The bad fix 01Our way

WE SHOW UP. ON PAPER.

Your start date goes in writing. You get your crew lead's name before day one and a text when they're on the way.

Written start date Named crew lead On-the-way texts
Problem 02The old way

THE QUOTE GREW LEGS.

78%

of homeowners went over budget on their last home project.3

22% say the price went up after the job started or finished.1

The bad fix 02Our way

LOCKED SCOPE. LOCKED PRICE.

One itemized quote. Nothing changes without your signature. If the ground surprises us, you see the photo and the number before anyone digs further.

Itemized quote Signed change orders No surprise invoice
Problem 03The old way

RADIO SILENCE.

41%

of homeowners say they've been deceived by a service provider.4

Incomplete jobs, unreliability and poor communication top their list of pain points.4

The bad fix 03Our way

ONE NUMBER. REAL ANSWERS.

One project lead who actually picks up. Photo updates every work day. We don't call it done until you walk it and say so.

Single point of contact Daily photo log Final walkthrough
Problem 04The old way

NEW CREW EVERY VISIT.

72%

of landscape business owners say finding or keeping workers is their biggest barrier to growth.5

That churn lands in your yard: a crew that's never seen the plan, learning your job on your dime.

The bad fix 04Our way

CREWS THAT STAY.

Experienced crews, paid fairly and kept on our jobs season after season, so the people who planned your yard are the people who build it. One crew, start to finish.

Experienced + insured Crew lead on site Same crew throughout

04 / Why we exist

SMALL CREWS.
BIG YARDS.

The best landscaping in any town isn't done by a giant company. It's done by small, skilled crews: a few people, a trailer and a reputation built one yard at a time. The kind who can set a walkway that stays flat for twenty years.

The work was never the problem. Everything around it was. Missed calls, fuzzy quotes, start dates that drift. That's where homeowners get burned, and where great craftsmen lose jobs to whoever's loudest online.

Bad Landscapes was built to fix everything around the work. Written dates. Locked prices. One person who answers. And every yard you trust us with keeps skilled local tradespeople working and small businesses in business.

ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES. OUR YARDS ARE NOT.
