Landscaping in Burlingame, CA
Burlingame is known for its mature street trees, classic homes and walkable neighborhoods, and its gardens are part of that character. Del Conte’s M&H Landscape Construction provides custom landscaping in Burlingame, CA, designing and building front gardens, backyards and outdoor living spaces that respect the style of the home and the neighborhood.
High-End Landscaping in Burlingame, 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 Burlingame homeowners: landscape design, construction, outdoor living, hardscape, irrigation, drainage and lighting, all coordinated by one team.
Designing Landscapes for Burlingame Homes
Burlingame lots are often narrower than those farther south on the Peninsula, so good design is about making every square foot count. We plan layouts that separate dining, lounging and play areas, use hardscape and planting to create privacy from neighbors, and fit features like fire pits, water-efficient planting and synthetic turf into compact spaces without crowding them.
Large, established trees are one of Burlingame’s defining features. Before we design, we look at existing trees, root zones and drainage patterns so new patios, walls and irrigation work with those trees rather than against them. For homes in the Burlingame Hills and along the western slopes, retaining walls and drainage are often part of the scope.

Landscaping in Burlingame: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you design for a smaller Burlingame lot?
Yes. Many of our Burlingame projects are about making a smaller yard work harder, with defined zones for dining, lounging and play, and planting that adds privacy.
Will new hardscape damage our existing trees?
We plan around existing trees from the start, adjusting layouts, footings and irrigation to protect root zones wherever possible.
Do you install front-yard landscapes as well as backyards?
Yes. Front gardens, entry walks, driveways and lighting are a big part of curb appeal, and we design and build both front and back.
