Outdoor Services for
San Jose and Surrounding Areas
We design and build landscapes, hardscape, and outdoor living for San Jose and nearby Bay Area cities. Every job starts with a walk-through so we can see the grade, where water sits, and how you want to use the yard. Design, drainage, and install stay on one licensed crew.
Design & Planning
Design & Planning
We start with how you use the yard, then plan grade, drainage, and layout. That includes landscape design and a fuller backyard remodel when the patio, planting, and drains need to sit on one drawing.

Landscape Installation
Landscape Installation
We plant trees and shrubs, install sod or artificial turf, and set irrigation so the planting has a chance in Bay Area clay. Retaining walls, rock, gravel, and mulch finish the beds and the slopes.

Why Choose Top Home Outdoors
Homeowners across San Jose hire us when they want design, drainage, and install on one licensed crew, not a stack of subs who never see the same drawing.
Licensed & Insured
One licensed crew, so you are not coordinating a stack of subs.
Free Estimates
We walk the yard and write a scope before we talk color samples.
One Crew
Design, drainage, and install stay with us, including a later patio or pergola.
Drainage First
Clay soil and tight side yards are common here. We plan slope before we set stone or plants.
Clear Scope
The estimate lists demolition, base or planting, and cleanup so the number is not a surprise later.
Local Yards
We build for San Jose clay and winter rain, not a brochure photo on sandy ground.
Clear Timeline
We schedule the crew so you know when we are on site, then we walk the job with you at the end.
Walkthrough
We go over care before we leave, whether that is joint sand, sod, or a new pergola.

Landscaping FAQs
It depends on size, materials, and whether you need drainage or hardscape as well as planting. A small bed is a different job from a paver patio or a full backyard remodel. We walk the yard and write a detailed estimate so you can see the scope.
Some do. Retaining walls, attached pergolas, and major drainage work are more likely to need a permit. Smaller planting jobs often do not. We review your lot and flag permit likelihood before we schedule the build.
A small install can take a few days. A full backyard remodel that includes pavers, drainage, and planting can take several weeks. We give you a timeline with the estimate after we see the yard.
Our focus is design and installation. After the walkthrough we tell you how to care for the new work. We can point you toward a maintenance routine if you want one.
Yes. We install paver patios, walkways, and driveway pavers, plus sod, turf, and planting. One crew keeps the patio from blocking a drain or a future pergola footing.
Yes. We scope a remodel as design first, then hardscape, then planting. Request a free estimate and we will walk the yard with you.
