Landscape Design in San Mateo & the Peninsula
Great landscapes start with a plan that fits the home, the site and the way you live. Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction provides custom landscape design in San Mateo and across the Peninsula, and because we also build what we design, every plan is grounded in how it will actually be constructed.
Our Landscape Design Services
- On-site consultation and site analysis (slopes, drainage, sun, soil, existing trees)
- Conceptual layouts and design development

- Irrigation, drainage and landscape lighting planning
- Material and plant selections
- Coordination with architects, builders and other trades
Design that is built to be built
Our designers work hand in hand with our in-house construction team. That means the plan accounts for grading, drainage, footings and utilities from day one, and it means fewer surprises and change orders once work begins. Once construction starts, your designer stays involved and sees the project through to completion.
A design for the way you live
We start by understanding how you want to use the space: entertaining, family time, quiet retreat, gardening or all of the above. From there we organize the property into outdoor rooms, connect them with paths and sightlines, and select materials and plants that suit the architecture of the home and the Peninsula climate.
What to Expect When You Work With Us
- Consultation: we walk the property with you, listen to your goals and assess slopes, drainage, sun and existing trees.
- Design: our designer develops a plan for layout, hardscape, planting, irrigation, drainage and lighting.
- Construction: our in-house crew builds the project, and your designer stays involved through completion.
- Ongoing care: our residential maintenance program keeps the landscape performing, with irrigation and lighting audits three times a year.
Because we handle design and construction in-house, landscape design can be planned together with the rest of your landscape, including grading, drainage, irrigation and lighting, so everything is installed once and installed correctly. Since 1972, Del Conte’s M&H has focused on high-end residential work, and our long-time managers bring decades of experience to every project.
Landscape Design Across the Peninsula
We provide landscape design for homeowners in Hillsborough, San Mateo, Burlingame, Belmont, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills. As a full-service landscape construction company, we can also combine this work with the rest of your landscape, so every element is planned and built together.
Landscape Design: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only design, or also build?
We do both. Our designs are built by our own in-house crew, and your designer stays involved through construction.
How long does the design process take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the property. After the first consultation we will outline the steps and timeline for your project.
Can you work with our architect?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with architects and builders on new construction and major remodels.
