Landscape Design & Construction — Built Right the First Time
Sacramento's Landscape Contractor
Stuteville Landscaping is a full-service landscape contractor serving residential and commercial properties across the Sacramento area. We handle every phase of landscape design and construction — from the initial site visit and soil prep through final cleanup and walkthrough. Whether you need a patio, walkway, or retaining wall, a pergola, outdoor kitchen, drainage correction, or turf and sod installation, we build it in-house with our own crew.
We are not a landscape maintenance company. We do not mow lawns, pull weeds on a schedule, or repair sprinklers. What we do is build — and we build it right the first time. Every project starts with a site visit, a written estimate with an itemized breakdown, and clear communication about scope of work, timeline, and materials. The price we quote is the price you pay unless you request a change order.
Stuteville Landscaping holds an active C-27 Landscaping Contractor license through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and is fully bonded and insured. Our family-owned team uses quality materials on every job — no cheap substitutions that fail early — and we take on the large-scale projects other Sacramento landscape contractors walk away from, including complete front and backyard overhauls that run $500,000 and up.
What We Build
Patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, steps, and landings. We handle the full scope of work from grading and soil prep through final paver or concrete placement — built on properly compacted bases with quality materials that hold up to Sacramento heat and clay soils.

Why Stuteville
Hiring a landscape contractor in Sacramento should not feel like a gamble. Too many homeowners have been burned by low-ball bids that balloon once the work starts, cheap materials that crack or shift within a few years, or contractors who disappear mid-project. We built our business to be the opposite of that.
Every project gets a written, itemized estimate — not a vague number on the back of a business card. The estimate price is the final price. We do not under-bid and then hit you with change orders. If you request a change, we document it formally with updated pricing before any additional work begins.
We use premium materials on every project — pavers, stone, concrete, PVC drainage pipe, sod, plants, mulch, and weed barrier. Some contractors cut costs with cheap substitutions that fail within a few seasons. We select every material for Sacramento's climate, soil conditions, and long-term workmanship.
We take on the projects other contractors walk away from — complete front and backyard overhauls combining hardscape, drainage, landscape installation, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and irrigation into a single coordinated build. Projects exceeding $500,000 get the same project management and cleanup standards as a single-patio install.
Full Scope
Whether you are a homeowner planning a backyard renovation, a front yard landscaping update, or a commercial property owner looking to improve curb appeal, we handle the full scope of work. Our residential landscaping projects range from single-feature installations like a paver patio or retaining wall to complete property transformations. Our commercial landscaping projects include new installs, replacements, property cleanup, and full site construction.
Every project includes grading and leveling where needed, proper soil prep, drainage evaluation, and material selection matched to Sacramento's climate. We install drought tolerant landscape designs using heat-tolerant plants, water-wise landscaping, and turf alternatives that reduce your water bill and eliminate runoff. For properties that need traditional turf and sod, we handle the full process — prep, leveling, installation, and irrigation setup.
Our Process
We walk your property with you to understand what you want built, discuss the scope of work, and identify any grading, drainage, or soil prep needs before we price anything.
You receive an itemized estimate that breaks down every line item — materials, labor, permits, and timeline. No vague allowances, no surprise change orders. The number we quote is the number you pay unless you request changes.
Our crew handles everything from property cleanup and demolition through final grading and installation. We manage the full project — permits, scheduling, material delivery, and daily cleanup standards — so you have one point of contact from start to finish.
We walk the finished project with you to confirm every detail matches the scope of work. Nothing is considered complete until you sign off.
Stuteville Landscaping holds an active C-27 Landscaping Contractor license through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). We carry full insurance and are bonded — meaning your property and your investment are protected from the first day of work through project completion.
Before hiring any landscape contractor in Sacramento, we encourage you to verify their CSLB license status, insurance, and bonds. A licensed contractor is required to carry workers' compensation, maintain a contractor bond, and meet California landscape contractors license requirements. If a contractor cannot provide this documentation, walk away.
