Landscaping Contractor Serving Elk Grove & Sacramento County
If you're searching for landscaping in Elk Grove, CA, you want a contractor who actually knows the area — not a crew driving in blind from across the region. Pinnacle Pools and Landscape is a family-owned, licensed contractor (CA Lic. #892669) working throughout Elk Grove and Sacramento County, from Laguna Ridge, Madeira, Whitelock Ranch and beyond. Our home base — Elk Grove homeowners get fast scheduling and local project oversight from our team.
Great landscaping is a system, not a shopping list of plants. Our landscape design and installation service plans your entire yard as one project — planting, irrigation, lighting, drainage, lawn, and hardscape — so everything works together and thrives in the Sacramento Valley climate.
Every Elk Grove project starts the same way: a free on-site consultation and a fixed, itemized estimate. Builder-graded lots often hide compacted subsoil and drainage that dumps at the fence line. We re-grade and solve drainage before building anything on top.

How Your Elk Grove Project Works
Design Consultation
We walk the property, discuss how you use the yard, and develop a landscape plan with plant palette, irrigation zones, and lighting.
Site Prep & Grading
Demo, soil preparation, grading, and drainage installation set the foundation for everything visible later.
Hardscape & Irrigation
Edging, pathways, and the irrigation mainline and valves go in before a single plant, so nothing gets dug up twice.
Planting, Lawn & Lighting
Trees, shrubs, sod or turf, mulch, and low-voltage lighting complete the landscape, followed by a controller walkthrough.

New-Construction Lots

HOA Design Review

What plants work best in the Sacramento area?
The Sacramento Valley's hot-summer Mediterranean climate favors lavender, salvia, rosemary, ornamental grasses, crape myrtle, olive, and California natives like ceanothus and manzanita. We design plant palettes that handle 100° summers and occasional winter frost while staying attractive year-round.
Do you install irrigation and sprinkler systems?
Yes — high-efficiency drip irrigation for beds, rotary or spray zones for lawn, and smart weather-based controllers are part of nearly every landscape we build. We also retrofit and repair existing systems as part of larger projects.
Can you fix drainage problems in my yard?
Yes. Standing water and soggy lawns usually trace to grading or compacted soil. We solve drainage with proper grading, french drains, catch basins, and dry wells — and we address it before installing any landscape on top.
Do you charge a travel fee for Elk Grove projects?
No — Elk Grove is our home city. You get the fastest response times, free on-site consultations, and daily supervision from a local crew.
