Landscape Installation, Maintenance, and Design Services

There is no such thing as getting a second chance to make a first impression. This applies to the exterior appearance of your property and the inclusion or absence of attractive landscaping.

Boosting the curb appeal of your property is one of the best ways to increase its resale value. The National Association of Realtors estimates homes with high curb appeal sell for an average of 7 percent more than comparable properties lacking an inviting exterior. Among the best ways to improve on the exterior of your home is with creative and attractive landscaping. A few well-placed base plants and seasonal flowers can spruce up the look and feel of your property.

Gosnell Tree & Landscape is the authority among Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Central Coast landscapers. Our team of landscaping service professionals is led by Casey Gosnell, who brings more than decades of experience to the fold.

Benefits of Professional Landscaping Services

Professional landscaping services provide an amazing return on investment.

Save yourself the headache and reach out to the landscaping pros at Gosnell Tree & Landscaping.

There are many reasons to consider hiring a landscaping professional.

1. They create great design ideas

If tossing a potted plant near the entrance to your home is your idea of landscaping, you might want to call in a professional. The same holds true for property owners with grandiose ideas that may end up looking tacky. Landscaping professionals have an eye for detail and can help generate ideas that will accomplish your goals.

2. They work within your budget

A great landscaper not only comes up with great ideas, but they also are pros at sticking to a budget. Our amazing landscapers will work with you to design and bring to life an appealing design that does not break the bank. We provide estimates for all work in writing before starting the job.

3. They can handle any unforeseen setbacks

Beneath the surface of every yard and outdoor space lies the potential for trouble. Our landscaping pros are skilled in handling complex root systems, rocks, pipes, and many other issues that can arise during a project.

4. They protect the environment

As landscapers, there is nothing we value more than protecting our environment. Clients can rest assured we view their landscaping as an integral part of the local environment. Our landscaping work is functional and eco-friendly. With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, we also keep in mind Santa Barbara’s climate and install landscaping that will complement and thrive in it.

Sustainable Landscaping Services

Our landscaping services can be functional while incorporating sustainable concepts to reduce the environmental impact of the plants and other landscaping components. When designed with sustainability in mind, landscaping can provide erosion control, afford privacy, or add shade for a residential property.

Plants that require less moisture are ideal for Santa Barbara’s climate. Those that use a limited amount of fertilizer are best for preserving our waterways. Using native plants in landscape designs is favored, as is avoiding those considered to be invasive in our environment.

Our landscape team can work with clients to envision and create a sustainable landscaping design. We can evaluate your property to determine:

  • If the soil is a healthy foundation for the plants included in your design
  • If the plants selected for inclusion in the design are native and adaptable to the local climate
  • If the plants will require a lot of water consumption to thrive and if an irrigation system is needed to provide adequate water
  • If the landscaping design will require maintenance and if so, how often it should be performed

Landscape Maintenance

Once you have the landscape design of your dreams, the work of keeping it well maintained begins. Landscaping pros can come as often as you would like to weed, refresh the mulch, and keep your plants neat and trimmed.

Pruning and hedging should be done at the correct time of year to ensure optimal health and bloom performance. Our professionals know the best time to perform these services for each of the plants in your landscape design.

Seasonal displays that include annual flowers, weekly or bi-weekly lawn mowing, and protect and feed services also are available as part of regular landscape maintenance.

Do not wait until your landscaping is overgrown and out of control before you call in the experts at Gosnell Tree & Landscaping to perform maintenance services.

Hardscaping Services

A lot of the designs we create for clients include a variety of landscaping and hardscaping. A hardscape is any non-living element in landscape design. It can include rocks, bricks, pavers, wood, or structures such as pergolas and fountains.

Our hardscaping pros can ensure any non-living features included in your landscape design work with the overall plan. Retaining walls can be used to level off sloped areas and prevent flooding in areas prone to it.

Hardscaping, when incorporated correctly, creates fluidity from the inside of your property to the outside. It is important to include hardscaping in a way that makes it feel purposeful to the overall outdoor design and not just an awkward afterthought.

Outdoor Sports

For some, an ideal landscape would not be complete without the added excitement of sports courts. Bocce and volleyball courts are among the outdoor sports features our design team can add to your landscape.

We can expertly install the outdoor sports court of your choice, raising the bar on your landscape design. Whether you are an avid sports fan who wants to hone your skills or just looking for a great way to keep in shape and have fun with your friends, an outdoor sports court is a great investment.
