A look at the landscapes we've designed, built, and cared for across Sonoma County. Every project is one crew, start to finish.
Every yard here belongs to a neighbor. Every one has a story — the problem we walked into, and what we left behind.
![TODO: backyard project by Nieto in [Town]](https://i0.wp.com/nietolandscapes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/neat-patio-with-sitting-area-2026-03-18-08-27-36-utc.jpg?w=800&ssl=1)
“Gerardo and team have provided the best experience beginning to end of our backyard project. The end result was exactly what we wanted.”
A tired stretch of yard regraded, sodded, and bordered — level, green, and easy to keep that way.
Green all year on almost no water — and stepping stones that keep the path clean through the rain.
Soft underfoot for kids and the trampoline — and zero mowing for the parents.
Gravel, tough plantings, and drip irrigation — curb appeal that shrugs off August.
Runoff that used to carve the slope now follows the stone — drainage disguised as design.
Beds cleaned, replanted, and mulched — a one-day refresh that reads all season.
The finished yard — Rohnert Park.
Where it started: Thin, patchy grass that turned to mud every winter — a backyard the kids mostly looked at through the window.
What we did: Graded the yard, built a proper drainage base, and installed premium turf edged clean against the planting beds and fence line.
Where it ended: Green in January, soft under the trampoline, and not a single Saturday spent mowing.
Every project below has the same story — different yard.“Gerardo and team have provided the best experience beginning to end of our backyard project. The group was incredibly polite and professional throughout. The end result was exactly what we wanted.”
“Thank you so much for the great work with our backyard! Communication was fantastic. Quick responses and really professional. Everyone was communicative and made sure that we were on the same page as far as materials and color.”
“Jerry’s crew did a great job on my project. His quotes were timely and reasonable. They spent a week here and after each day’s work the yard was cleared. Very happy with the quality of work and the demeanor of the crew. I highly recommend Nieto Landscaping.”
“Nieto Landscaping & Maintenance did a terrific job on the yard at my new home! This was a pretty big job, requiring a lot of work putting in a new lawn, adding mulch, as well as planting new plants, trees and flowers. Jerry and his crew were highly knowledgeable and professional. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Now have them for regular maintenance. Highly recommended!”
“Jerry is wonderful and I would recommend him for any of your garden needs. He’s professional and personable. He trimmed up our ugly Cypress tree for a reasonable cost and did a fantastic job. He did all clean up as well. 5 Stars!!”
