At JPM Landscape, we specialize in “High-Altitude Sanctuary” design for the historic community of Holy City. With over 40 years of local experience, our team creates high-performance outdoor environments that balance the rugged, redwood-forested terrain of the Santa Cruz Mountains with the modern necessities of fire safety and hillside stability. From the former 142-acre cult headquarters along Old Santa Cruz Highway to modern hillside estates, we provide full-service landscape architecture that prioritizes defensible space and structural sophistication.
Elevate your mountain property with precision-engineered hardscaping designed for Holy City’s steep slopes and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) requirements. JPM Landscape utilizes premium, non-combustible materials to craft reinforced stone retaining walls, interlocking paver patios, and winding flagstone walkways that double as effective fuel breaks. Our master craftsmen specialize in “Zone 0” design—creating a strictly non-combustible perimeter around your home with decorative rock, gravel, and masonry to prevent ember ignition.
We understand the geographical challenges of the Lexington Hills, including heavy winter runoff and seismic stability. Our team implements advanced hillside drainage and grading solutions to protect your property from erosion while meeting all Santa Clara County Building and Fire Codes. Whether you are looking to preserve the natural beauty of the redwoods or create a tiered terrace for entertaining, we utilize professional Bobcat services to provide a stable, permanent foundation for your mountain luxury.
Lead the way in environmental stewardship with “Regenerative Landscapes” that satisfy the strict requirements of CAL FIRE and the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council. JPM Landscape is a pioneer in fire-resilient and drought-tolerant design, helping Holy City residents create beautiful, water-smart sanctuaries. We assist you in maximizing the Valley Water Landscape Conversion Rebate, which can offer up to $2.00 per square foot for converting traditional turf or high-water plants into low-water native gardens.
Precision water management is the invisible engine of our mountain designs. We install state-of-the-art smart irrigation systems equipped with AI weather sensors that automatically adjust to the unique microclimate of the Santa Cruz Mountains. By focusing on “Lean, Clean, and Green” vegetation, we select high-moisture, fire-resistant natives like Manzanita (Arctostaphylos ‘Howard McMinn’), Western Redbud, and California Lilac. This tech-forward approach ensures your garden remains vibrant year-round while significantly reducing the fuel load on your property.
The final layer of a JPM Landscape project is the harmony of living elements and professional illumination. Our horticultural experts are specialists in “Redwood-Compatible” softscaping, selecting premium specimen plants—from privacy-enhancing Toyon to resilient Western Sword Ferns—that thrive under the mountain canopy. We prioritize “Ladder Fuel” removal, pruning lower tree limbs to create vertical space and thinning dense shrubs to prevent ground fires from climbing into the majestic redwood and oak crowns.
As the sun sets over the summit, your mountain retreat transitions into an enchanting escape with our custom low-voltage LED lighting systems. We design ambient nightscapes that highlight the architectural peaks of your home and the dramatic silhouettes of the forest. Strategic uplighting, path markers, and soft “moonlighting” fixtures create a safe, secure, and sophisticated atmosphere while adhering to Dark Sky principles to protect the local wildlife. Our energy-efficient systems allow you to enjoy your outdoor sanctuary long after the work day is finished.
California law requires 100 feet of defensible space. JPM Landscape focuses on Zone 0 (0-5 ft: non-combustible), Zone 1 (5-30 ft: lean and green, high-moisture plants), and Zone 2 (30-100 ft: reduced fuel zone with thinned brush and limbed trees).
To secure the rebate (up to $3,000 for residential), you must apply through Valley Water and receive a "Notice to Proceed" before starting any lawn removal. We manage the entire application and inspection process to ensure your water-wise design meets all requirements.
We recommend natives like Western Sword Fern, Wild Ginger, and Redwood Sorrel. For sunnier slopes, we use fire-resistant Salvias and Coffeeberry, which are naturally adapted to mountain life and attract local pollinators.
In Santa Clara County, significant grading or retaining walls over 3 feet (or those supporting a slope) require a permit. JPM Landscape handles all permit submittals and site plans to ensure your hillside structural work is fully compliant with local codes.
We utilize a combination of professional grading, French drains, and deep-rooted native plantings. Using permeable hardscaping and catch basins allows us to manage heavy mountain rainfall without washing away topsoil or damaging your home’s foundation.

Posted on JudyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely exceptional craftsmanship. Joe designed a custom landscape plan that felt unique to my home, not something “cookie cutter.” The build quality is top notch — clean lines, perfect plant selection, professional installation, and thoughtful details throughout. Joe's crew was amazing to work with. If you want a landscape company that treats your property like a high-end project, Jpm is the team to hire.Posted on Nora TryhornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired JPM for a full backyard landscaping project and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. After meeting with several contractors, Joe stood out due to his years of expertise and keen eye for design. His proposal perfectly captured the style we envisioned and made the most of our backyard space, all at a fair price. Joe’s team was exceptionally reliable, skilled, and made sure that the little details were just right. We are thrilled with the quality of our new pavers, turf, landscaping and pergola. The project was finished on schedule and stayed within our budget. We would recommend him to anyone. The final outcome exceeded our expectations—friends that have seen our backyard say that they feel like they're in a resort!Posted on Patty StuartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second time using JPM Landscaping and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Good communication and the workers were there everyday on time, which is very much appreciated. Would use them again in a heartbeat.Posted on SamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great design and install support from Joe. Very responsive and creative. We did a front and back yard and got more done in a faster amount of time than we expected. Was not pushy on upsells. Helped us stay on budget, time, scope.Posted on Marilynn VandorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JPM Landscape did a beautiful job re-landscaping an area along the street side of my fence! They have a great work ethic and once work started, they were here every day until the job was completed. (Amazingly, the area was cleared of the old, dead plants and stubborn ivy in 3 hours!) Now, there are gorgeous hydrangeas, roses, and other plants that give the area color and beauty--sustained by a new drip system. I highly recommend JPM Landscape; they know what they're doing!Posted on Andy&Elizabeth GschwindTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We bought a house last summer, and we knew that we were going to want to do something with a large portion of our front/side yard, which was unattractive wood chips and a gravel strip for parking vehicles. We talked to some different landscapers, but everyone just basically talked about putting in some grass with no Interesting other details. We realized that we needed to hire someone that would have a VISION for our space, and Joe was exactly the right guy! He came and looked at the yard, and talked to us about what our goals and budget were. We talked through different options based on how we wanted to use the space as a family, and how we wanted it to look/what style we like. A big thing for us was making it have a similar vibe as the desert scape that was already in the front of the house that we liked a lot. When Joe came back with his drawings, we were thrilled! He came up with a couple of ideas that were really perfect for transforming the space, and that we never would thought of on our own. Specifically, he suggested we open up a private deck and build steps down onto the grass to make the whole area more inviting, and to convert part of an unused driveway into a “wine country” sitting area with sun shades. The grass area he designed isn’t just a rectangle, there are nice curved edges and cut outs for native plants, and the redwood fence he built is low and gorgeous. Besides, loving the design, his team worked incredibly quickly and efficiently. Joe checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well, and the foreman was great at communicating and asking questions when he needed something. Very professional and experts at what they do. When we first had the work done it was winter and we already loved it, but as spring and summer arrived, and we have been able to watch the plants and the trees grow and the flowers bloom, it has became even more gorgeous. We cannot be happier with how it turned out! (We have had several neighbors stop by and tell us how much they love what we did with the property - people that we didn’t know before. That has been fun too.) In short, if you are looking to invest in your property and design a beautiful space that works for your style and lifestyle, I highly recommend Joe and JPM Landscapes! [including before and after photos]Posted on Irene ChingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with our front yard landscape make-over. Joe was communicative, knowledgeable, creative, and amenable to changing the design as we discussed various options. Joe stayed on budget and the work was completed quickly. Most importantly we are very happy with our results and continue to receive compliments from neighbors walking by.Posted on Manh TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
