Landscaping Contractor Serving Sacramento & Sacramento County
If you're searching for landscaping in Sacramento, 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 Sacramento and Sacramento County, from East Sacramento, Land Park, Curtis Park and beyond. From midtown patios to suburban backyard pool builds, we serve homeowners across greater Sacramento.
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 Sacramento project starts the same way: a free on-site consultation and a fixed, itemized estimate. Sacramento's tree canopy is a treasure — and a design constraint. We plan pools and hardscape around root zones and shade patterns, and coordinate city rules on protected trees.

How Your Sacramento 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.
Working in Sacramento: Local Knowledge That Matters
Mature Trees & Established Yards
Sacramento's tree canopy is a treasure — and a design constraint. We plan pools and hardscape around root zones and shade patterns, and coordinate city rules on protected trees.
Older Pools & Infrastructure
Many Sacramento pools date to the 60s–80s and hide galvanized plumbing and dated shells. Our remodel assessments tell you honestly what's worth saving.
City of Sacramento Permitting
City permits and inspections apply to pools, gas, and structural work. We run the process — including older-neighborhood quirks like alley access and detached garages.
Landscaping in Sacramento — Frequently Asked Questions

Front yard refreshes often start around $10,000–$20,000, while complete backyard landscape installations with irrigation, lighting, and hardscape typically range from $25,000 to $80,000+. After a design consultation you'll receive a fixed, itemized proposal.
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 remodel older pools in East Sacramento and Land Park?
Yes — mid-century pool remodels are some of our favorite Sacramento projects. We resurface, retile, replumb, and modernize equipment while keeping the character that suits these neighborhoods, and we'll tell you honestly if a shell isn't worth saving.
