Hardscape
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and pavers engineered for the Bay Area's soil and seismic conditions.
I'm T. Tran. For over 30 years I've built Bay Area landscapes on my own two feet — hardscape, irrigation, lighting, planting, and water features. One set of hands, site to finish. Every call, every quote, every job — me.
I handle every discipline personally. For the rare specialty I bring help in on, I pick the specialist and supervise the work myself — so drainage, planting, hardscape, and lighting actually work together after the trucks leave.
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and pavers engineered for the Bay Area's soil and seismic conditions.
Smart drip and spray systems with weather-aware controllers that cut water use without stressing plantings.
Low-voltage path, uplight, and architectural lighting designs that stay subtle and survive the weather.
Scheduled service programs that keep lawns, beds, and irrigation performing between design refreshes.
Climate-matched palettes — California natives, drought-tolerant species, and year-round structure.
Fountains, basins, pergolas, and ponds — built as permanent architecture, not seasonal decor.
Every project starts with a site walk. Then I price it honestly, build it with care, and leave it to sit quietly in its setting — the kind of yard that still looks right three years later.
Active projects from San Francisco to the Monterey coast. For the right job I'll also travel to the Central Valley, Greater Sacramento, and Lake Tahoe.
I founded T. Tran Landscaping as a one-person operation and have kept it that way on purpose. When you hire me you get me — I walk the site, price the job, and I'm on the tools the day we build. The three things I've never negotiated on are honesty, integrity, and ingenuity: I'll tell you what a job really costs, do what I said I'd do, and figure out the part that wasn't in the original plan.
