At JPM Landscape, we specialize in the “Mountain-Modern” aesthetic required for the unique terrain of Redwood Estates. With over 40 years of local experience, our team creates high-performance outdoor environments that balance the rugged beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains with the critical safety demands of a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI). We deliver elite design-build services that prioritize wildfire defensible space, hillside stabilization, and sustainable luxury, ensuring your home remains a safe and stunning sanctuary amidst the redwoods.
In Redwood Estates, your landscape’s primary function is protection. JPM Landscape excels in engineering “Zone 0” compliant hardscaping that creates a non-combustible perimeter around your home. We utilize premium, fire-resistant materials like natural stone, interlocking pavers, and decorative gravel to craft elegant patios and walkways that double as effective fuel breaks. Our master builders are experts in the 2026 “Safety-First” design trend—replacing wood decks with porcelain tile terraces and combustible fencing with non-flammable stone masonry or metal alternatives to satisfy CAL FIRE Defensible Space standards.
We understand the geographical complexities of the Santa Cruz Mountains, where steep slopes and heavy winter rains require advanced structural engineering. Our team specializes in reinforced retaining walls, tiered garden systems, and comprehensive hillside drainage to prevent erosion and protect your property’s foundation. Whether you are envisioning a multi-level stone terrace that captures mountain views or a wide, fire-access driveway, we utilize Bobcat services and expert grading to ensure every structural element is as durable as the mountain itself.
Our structural commitment extends to the meticulous removal of “ladder fuels” and the creation of vertical and horizontal discontinuity in your landscape. We engineer outdoor living zones—such as custom stone fire pits and louvered pergolas—that are positioned to minimize risk while maximizing your enjoyment of the fresh mountain air. By combining 40 years of refined craftsmanship with specialized mountain knowledge, JPM Landscape ensures your estate is a bastion of safety that reflects the prestige and natural elegance of Redwood Estates.
Protect the local watershed and your home’s resilience with “Water-Smart” landscapes tailored to the unique microclimate of the redwoods. JPM Landscape is a leader in drought-tolerant, fire-resistant design, helping residents transition from high-maintenance lawns to vibrant native sanctuaries. We help you navigate BAWSCA and Valley Water rebates, which can offer up to $3,000 for residential lawn conversions. Our curated plant palettes feature high-moisture, low-resin natives like Toyon, California Fuchsia, and Western Sword Fern that thrive under the redwood canopy while resisting ignition.
Precision water management is the invisible engine of a mountain garden. We install state-of-the-art smart irrigation systems equipped with AI weather sensors that automatically adjust for the specific shade and moisture levels of your property. By transitioning traditional spray heads to high-efficiency drip systems, we deliver targeted hydration directly to the root zones of your “lean, clean, and green” Zone 1 vegetation. This tech-forward approach ensures your landscape remains lush and hydrated during the peak of fire season while significantly reducing your reliance on local water supplies.
Our commitment to sustainability honors the majesty of the forest. We specialize in “Redwood-Compatible” gardening, selecting understory plants that coexist with the shallow root systems and acidic soil of heritage trees. From bioswales that capture winter runoff to permeable paths that recharge the groundwater, we design landscapes that act as self-sustaining ecosystems. At JPM Landscape, we prove that a fire-safe yard can be a lush, texture-rich masterpiece—incorporating succulents, flowering natives, and organic mulch—to protect your property and support the local biodiversity.
The final layer of a JPM Landscape project is the harmony of living elements and professional illumination. Our horticultural experts are specialists in mountain softscaping, selecting premium specimen trees—such as Coast Live Oaks and Madrone—and maintaining them to provide natural privacy without creating fire hazards. We prioritize soil conditioning and the removal of dead organic matter (needles and leaves) within the 100-foot defensible zone, ensuring your curated garden has the nutrient-rich foundation it needs to grow more beautiful with every passing year.
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 features of your home and the dramatic silhouettes of the redwoods. Strategic uplighting, path markers, and soft “moonlighting” fixtures create a safe, secure, and sophisticated atmosphere that adheres to Dark Sky principles, protecting the nocturnal wildlife of the Santa Cruz Mountains while ensuring you can safely navigate your property after dark.
Our “Design-Build” philosophy ensures that every detail—the scent of native sage, the sound of a modern water feature, and the glow of warm garden lights—works in perfect concert with the environment. With 40 years of local heritage, JPM Landscape understands that a Redwood Estates garden is a vital retreat for mental and physical wellness. Let us transform your vision into a bespoke masterpiece that honors the land, respects the local ecosystem, and elevates your daily experience of mountain living.
Zone 0 is the area from 0 to 5 feet around your home. For maximum fire safety, this zone should be entirely non-combustible. JPM Landscape recommends removing all bark, mulch, and woody shrubs from this area, replacing them with gravel, pavers, or river rock and low-growing succulents to prevent embers from igniting your structure.
"Ladder fuels" are shrubs and low branches that allow a ground fire to climb into the treetops. We recommend pruning tree branches at least 6 to 10 feet from the ground and maintaining a vertical clearance between the top of any shrubs and the lowest tree branches (ideally three times the height of the shrub).
Yes. In Santa Clara County, retaining walls over 3 feet or those supporting a "surcharge" (like a driveway or a steep slope) require a building permit and often a soils report. We handle the entire submittal process, including engineering and grading plans, to ensure your project is safe and fully compliant with county codes.
Shade-loving, fire-resistant choices include Western Sword Fern, Redwood Sorrel, Creeping Mahonia, and Wild Strawberry. These plants have high moisture content and stay low to the ground, making them ideal for the shaded understory of Redwood Estates.
We utilize a combination of "Deep-Rooted" native plantings, fiber rolls (wattles), and professional drainage systems. By installing permeable hardscaping and catch basins, we direct heavy rainfall away from your foundation and prevent the loss of topsoil on steep hillsides.
