Landscaping in Hillsborough, CA
Hillsborough homes sit on some of the largest and most private residential lots on the Peninsula, and the landscapes around them deserve the same level of craftsmanship as the architecture. For high-end landscaping in Hillsborough, CA, Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction designs and builds complete outdoor environments, from the first site walk to the final lighting adjustment.
High-End Landscaping in Hillsborough, CA
Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction was founded in 1972 and specializes in high-end residential landscape design and construction. We are not a mow-and-blow service. Our team plans and builds complete outdoor environments for Hillsborough homeowners: landscape design, construction, outdoor living, hardscape, irrigation, drainage and lighting, all coordinated by one team.
Designing Landscapes for Hillsborough Homes
Hillsborough properties bring a specific set of challenges: sloped and hillside lots, mature oaks and specimen trees, long driveways and approaches, and neighbors who expect quiet, well-organized job sites. Many projects start with grading, drainage and retaining walls before the visible work can begin, and that engineering foundation is what keeps terraces, lawns and planting beds performing for decades.
Our Hillsborough clients typically want outdoor rooms that feel like an extension of the home: formal entry courts, stone terraces off the main living spaces, outdoor kitchens and fire features for entertaining, and planting plans that frame views while adding privacy. We design each element to match the home’s architecture, whether that is a traditional estate, a Mediterranean villa or a contemporary rebuild.

Landscaping in Hillsborough: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle landscape projects on steep Hillsborough lots?
Yes. Hillside and sloped lots are common in Hillsborough, and we regularly build engineered retaining walls, terraced planting areas, drainage systems and stairs so a slope becomes usable, stable outdoor space.
Can you coordinate with our architect or general contractor?
Yes. On new construction and major remodels we work alongside architects, builders and other trades so the landscape, drainage and utilities are planned together rather than retrofitted.
Do you offer maintenance after the installation is finished?
Yes. Our residential maintenance program includes regular care plus irrigation and lighting audits three times a year, so the landscape we build keeps performing.
