The Story Behind Clearview Landscaping
Clearview Landscaping: Built From the Ground Up
Founded in 2001, Clearview Landscaping began with one truck, one wheelbarrow, and one clear vision: to create outdoor spaces that are beautiful, functional, and built to last. Over two decades and 4,000+ projects later, we’re still guided by the same principles — craftsmanship over shortcuts, relationships over transactions, and a deep-rooted commitment to doing things the right way. Today, Clearview is a full-service landscaping company serving Santa Barbara and beyond, trusted for our thoughtful design, expert execution, and hands-on leadership.

Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions
about our services and process.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve Santa Barbara and the surrounding communities, offering full-service landscape design, installation, and maintenance.
Do you provide design services before starting construction?
Yes. Every project begins with a thoughtful design process. We create a base plan, review it with you, and refine it until it aligns with your goals, style, and budget.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary depending on project size and complexity. Smaller projects may take a few weeks, while larger installations can take several months. We provide a clear schedule before construction begins.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
Yes, and yet the burden to obtain a permit still technically falls on the homeowner. Thus, it’s more of a collaboration with us than a full hand-off of responsibility. We implement proven strategies to help navigate common pitfalls, coordinate with appropriate parties involved, and ultimately ensure your project meets local regulations for approval without delays.
Can you work within my budget?
Absolutely. We tailor designs and material selections to match your budget while still delivering high-quality results.
Do you offer maintenance after installation?
Yes. We provide both seasonal cleanups and ongoing maintenance plans to keep your landscape healthy and beautiful long-term.
What type of projects do you specialize in?
We specialize in full-service landscaping, including outdoor living spaces, hardscapes, woodwork and structures, planting and softscapes, synthetic turf, grading and site prep, and long-term care.
How do I get started?
Simply schedule a consultation with our team. We’ll visit your property, discuss your vision, and provide next steps toward creating your outdoor space.
