-   ABOUT US  -

Nishimori Landscape and Design, Inc. is a full service landscape contracting firm established in Santa Maria in 1994.  We provide landscape design, installation and maintenance services.

 

Our specialty is landscape design for residential properties, which takes a landscape from concept to completion.  This may entail planting and irrigation, grading and drainage, erosion control, segmental retaining walls and interlocking pavers, and wood arbors and trellises. The goal is to integrate all of the landscape elements desired by our clients into a beautiful environment that they can enjoy for years.  We provide design and installation services from San Luis Obispo to Santa Ynez.

 

Upon completion of a new landscape, often times our clients will want us to perform regular maintenance of their yard.  We currently provide full landscape maintenance services to more than 250 residential and commercial properties in the Santa Maria Valley.
