Landscape Design in Fair Oaks, CA
A Full Redesign, Not a Patch JobFair Oaks homes near Hazel Ave rarely need a brand new yard. They need the existing one redesigned around what has changed since it was built.
About 8 miles from our Orangevale shop. Same crew, every project.
Why Fair Oaks Redesigns Are Different
Most design work we do in Fair Oaks is not new construction. It is a full rework of a yard that has been there for decades, often near Hazel Ave or New York Ave, where lots run larger and the landscaping has simply outgrown the plan it started with. Shrubs block windows that used to have a view. Lawn areas exist because grass was the default in 1975, not because anyone still wants to mow that much.
Any project that touches 500 square feet or more of landscaping in California also has to meet the state's water efficient landscape rules, whether the homeowner has heard of them or not. We build that requirement into the design from day one instead of treating it as paperwork at the end.
How We Design in Fair Oaks
We start with a full site visit, mapping sun, slope, soil, and which existing trees and structures actually stay. From there we draw a complete plan for the property, not just a swap of dead plants for new ones. You see the design before anything gets built.
The California Department of Water Resources publishes the actual rules behind this in the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. To see the full range of what we build in the area, visit our page as a landscaper in Fair Oaks, CA.

Questions About Landscape Design in Fair Oaks, CA
Does McGuire Earth Works design landscapes in Fair Oaks?+
Yes. Fair Oaks sits about 8 miles from our shop, and design work here is almost always a full rework of an older yard rather than a new build. We map the site on the first visit, keep what still works, and draw a complete plan for the rest. One crew designs and builds the project, so what gets approved is what actually goes into the ground.
Does my project have to meet state water rules?+
If the landscaped area is 500 square feet or larger, yes, it falls under California's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. That covers plant choices, irrigation efficiency, and soil preparation. We design around these rules from the start so the finished yard is compliant without feeling like a compromise.
Can you redesign a yard without removing everything?+
Yes, most Fair Oaks projects keep the trees and structures that are working and rebuild around them. We are not interested in stripping a lot bare just to start over. A good redesign figures out what earns its place and builds the rest of the plan to support it.
