Verified Omar and his hard-working crew installed plants, a flagstone walkway, and a drip system in my front yard. The whole process was smooth and efficient from start to finish. I am so pleased with the end result, and if I could give them more stars I would. I recommend them without reservation and will gladly hire them for future projects.Posted on Laura D.Verified Green Bay Landscaping replaced the front yard lawn with low-maintenance plants/trees, installed paver for the driveway and pathways while extending the driveway. In the backyard, they put a fresh batch of grass, planted trees and shrubs. Also installed were three vege boxes and a new patio area. New irrigation systems were installed in the font and the backyard along with path lights and spotlights. Omar and his crew were beyond terrific. They were very fast and meticulous. They completed my projects in about 2 weeks (others estimated that it'd take 5-6 weeks). The speed didnd't come at the cost of the quality. They achieved both by putting more fokls to my project. I'm very happy with the result. So is my family. Omar is very easy to communicate with and his response is always timely and to the point. My neighbors and passers-by have been very much impressed by the outcome. I highly recommend Omar and Greenbay Landscaping. Ifyou need landscaping/hardscaping, don't look further.Posted on Jungshik S.Verified From start to finish Omar was very professional and responsive. The team listened to all my concerns and addressed them. Their work turned out way better than I imagined. I will definitely hire them again for my next project.Posted on Mark C.Verified Green Bay did a fantastic job! They completed transformed my front yard into something of beauty. The design of the pavers for my front walk is a work of art! It has a graceful curve and some intricate details that went way beyond my expectations. The drip irrigation they installed is very sophisticated, and connects to local weather conditions and so knows to skip watering if it's raining. I can't recommend them enough.Posted on Charles C.Verified Omar was very quick to respond to my inquiry about a quote. He was totally professional, extremely quick in responding at all times and my lawn has never looked this good. His men worked super fast, super hard and left no mess or trace that they had been there at the end. He even returned every few days after the lawn had been laid to check everything, look at the sprinklers and make sure it was progressing well. I only have good things to say about the company - good price, great service and polite respectful attitude. Thoroughly recommend Green bay Landscaping.Posted on Janine G.Verified Can't recommend these guys enough. They have done various jobs in our yard over the years, including full backyard restoration after we installed an ADU. Also rebuilt a carport, impecable work! Easy to work with, reasonably priced, and do excellent craftsmanship! They have been able to meet tight deadlines when needed, and deliver above expectations, making great suggestions to improve our landscaping. You won't regret hiring them!Posted on jenn w.Verified Can't recommend these guys enough.

We have used them for many years on a variety of projects from basic landscaping to fence repair to tree maintenance and they always do top-notch work and make sure everything is cleaned up properly at the end of each job. They just spent the day on Friday trimming our giant redwood and glad they did given the atmospheric river and winds that came in over the weekend. Tree looks great! And they provided the best price out of the three quotes we received.Posted on Gary G.Verified Green Bay landscaping has done extraordinary work for me and my family in Menlo Park over the past six years. Omar and his team are hard-working, honest, and highly responsive. We have had Omar and his team do extensive fence work, landscaping, brickwork, demolition, gravel work, gardening beds, paver repair, irrigation (new and repair) and significant new plantings. In addition, I have referred Omar to my friends and neighbors and everyone has said they were grateful for the referral. I cannot recommend Green Bay Landscaping more highly.Posted on Rich M.

Common Landscape Design Concerns - And Our Silicon Valley Solutions
“Quality landscape design costs too much for my budget”
The Reality: Many Mountain View homeowners assume professional landscape design requires tech-industry salaries, often delaying projects or attempting costly DIY solutions.
Our Solution: We offer flexible design packages from consultation-only services to complete design-build solutions, with transparent pricing that respects diverse budgets. Our phased installation approach allows you to spread investments over time while achieving immediate impact. Many clients save significantly by avoiding expensive plant failures, irrigation repairs, and redesign costs that result from inadequate initial planning.
“I travel frequently and need ultra-low maintenance landscaping”
The Challenge: Mountain View’s mobile workforce needs landscapes that remain beautiful despite irregular schedules and frequent travel.
Our Solution: We specialize in sophisticated, virtually maintenance-free designs using drought-tolerant California natives like salvias, lavender, and ornamental grasses that thrive with minimal intervention. Our smart irrigation systems and automated landscape lighting ensure your property looks professionally maintained even during extended absences. Strategic hardscaping reduces ongoing care requirements by 60-80%.
“My property has challenging conditions – poor soil, slopes, or small spaces”
The Challenge: Mountain View properties often present unique constraints, from compact lots in older neighborhoods to challenging soil conditions.
Our Solution: Challenging sites inspire our most creative solutions. We regularly work with Mountain View’s varied conditions, from small urban lots near downtown to sloped properties in the foothills. Our expertise includes soil remediation for clay conditions, space-maximizing designs for compact lots, and engineered solutions for slopes and drainage. We transform limitations into distinctive landscape features.
“Water restrictions and drought concerns make me hesitant about landscaping”
The Concern: California’s water conservation requirements and environmental consciousness create uncertainty about landscape investments.
Our Solution: We design cutting-edge water-wise landscapes that exceed conservation standards while delivering stunning results. Our drought-tolerant designs use 50-70% less water than traditional landscapes through native plant selection, efficient irrigation technology, and permeable hardscaping. We stay current on Santa Clara Valley Water District regulations and design landscapes that often qualify for rebates and incentives.
“I’m not sure what design style fits my home and Mountain View’s character”
The Dilemma: Mountain View’s architectural diversity, from Eichler homes to contemporary tech-executive residences, makes design decisions complex.
Our Solution: Our design process begins with understanding your home’s architectural language and neighborhood context. Whether you have a mid-century Eichler in Whisman, a Craftsman bungalow near Castro Street, or a contemporary home in newer developments, we create cohesive designs that enhance your property’s unique character while respecting Mountain View’s innovative yet grounded community spirit.
“Contractors are unreliable and don’t understand tech schedules”
The Experience: Busy professionals need contractors who respect time constraints and communicate effectively.
Our Solution: As a licensed, bonded, and insured Silicon Valley business (License #1101432), we understand the demands of tech careers and maintain the highest professional standards. Our 5.0-star Yelp rating and 93 BuildZoom score reflect our commitment to clear communication, flexible scheduling, and quality results. We provide digital project updates and work around your schedule, not against it.
“Permits and city regulations seem overwhelming”

Our Solution: We handle all permitting, regulatory compliance, and city coordination, including tree preservation requirements, water-efficient landscape ordinances, and environmental guidelines. Our familiarity with Mountain View’s planning processes ensures smooth approvals without delays or complications.
