Since 1984, JPM Landscape has been designing and building outdoor spaces for homeowners in San Jose and across Silicon Valley. What began as a small landscaping company in San Jose grew into a licensed design-build firm serving homeowners from Almaden Valley to Willow Glen, Los Gatos and the wider Bay Area.
JPM Landscape is a 12-time Best of Houzz Service winner. We have completed hundreds of residential projects, from small garden redesigns to full property makeovers.
Joe, the owner, visits your property and designs your plan, and he stays involved while the crew builds it.
Personalized landscape designs that reflect your style and work with San Jose’s climate. Our design process covers site analysis, plant selection and detailed planning, so the finished yard is both beautiful and easy to use.

Interlocking pavers, natural stone and custom hardscape for patios, walkways and driveways. These surfaces are built to last and to add to your property's beauty and value.
Standing water after rain, soggy lawns and wet foundations all have a cause, and we find it before we fix it. We design and install yard drainage, from french drains and catch basins to regrading.
Cut your water use without giving up beauty. Our water-wise designs use native California plants, efficient irrigation and low-water hardscape, planned around local water rules.
Extend your home outdoors with custom outdoor kitchens, fire pits and entertainment areas, built for Silicon Valley's long outdoor season.
Artificial turf for front yards, backyards, play areas, pets and putting greens. We build the base first, because it decides how the turf looks in year ten. A lawn that stays green without mowing or watering.
Drip and sprinkler systems zoned to your plants, slopes and soil, with smart controllers so each area gets only what it needs. We also repair and upgrade older systems.
Custom backyard bocce courts, from a compact layout to a full regulation-length court. We start with grading and drainage, because that keeps a court level and playable, and we offer lighting for evening play.
Beyond the core services, we build patios, pergolas and shade structures, BBQ islands and outdoor kitchens, fire pits, water features and waterfalls, plus landscape lighting that makes the yard usable after dark.
We also handle paver repair in San Jose and drain pipe leak detection for yards with standing water or soggy spots.
Our clients say it best. Homeowners across San Jose and Silicon Valley review our work on Houzz and Google, and their reviews often mention Joe by name.
We start by listening: how you use the yard, what you want it to feel like and what you plan to spend. Then we design it, build it and walk it with you, so a new patio, a drought-tolerant garden or a full backyard makeover arrives the way you pictured it. That is what homeowners hire a San Jose landscape designer for, and it is the work we have done since 1984.

JPM Landscape proudly serves homeowners throughout San Jose and the greater Silicon Valley area. Our deep knowledge of local neighborhoods, soil conditions, and microclimates helps us create landscapes perfectly suited to your specific location.
Each community presents unique opportunities and challenges. From the rolling hills of Los Gatos to the urban landscapes of downtown San Jose, we adapt our designs to complement your neighborhood’s character while meeting your family’s specific needs.
A San Jose landscaper earns trust one yard at a time, and we have been doing it since 1984. Every yard in Santa Clara County has to deal with expansive clay soil, dry summers and water rules, and we design for all three. Drainage, plant choice and irrigation are planned around the yard you actually have, not a standard template. Our climate and soil guide explains what that means for a San Jose yard.
Local rules shape every plan. In San Jose, fences and retaining walls need a permit once they go over the heights set in the city code, and California’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance can apply to new and larger landscape projects. We tell you what applies to your project at the site visit and design around it.
We walk your yard with you and talk through how you use the space, what you want and your budget.
You get drawings and ideas to react to, and we adjust the plan with you until it fits.
Our crew builds the approved design, and a foreman keeps you updated while the work moves along.
We walk the finished yard with you before the job is closed out.
Straight answers to the questions San Jose homeowners ask before they hire a landscape designer.
What question or topic would you like assistance with today?
It depends on the size of your yard, the materials and the scope of work, and larger hardscape, grading and drainage work usually add the most cost. After the site visit you get an estimate for your yard. Our landscape design cost guide explains what drives the price.
A front-yard project moves faster than a full backyard with patios and structures, and permits and materials can add time. We give you a realistic schedule for your yard once the design is agreed.
Yes, where your project needs them. As a licensed California contractor, we work through the permit process with you and plan plants and irrigation around current water-efficiency rules. Read our guide on whether you need a permit for landscape design.
Often, yes. We check coverage and efficiency on site, and many older systems need updates to support new plantings and meet current water-efficiency standards.
San Jose's dry summers suit native California plants such as manzanita and sage, plus ornamental grasses. We also use Mediterranean herbs like lavender and rosemary, succulents and drought-tolerant perennials for color through the year.
Yes. JPM Landscape holds California contractor license #963784. You can verify any contractor's license on the Contractors State License Board website, cslb.ca.gov.
