Custom outdoor living spaces in Santa Barbara, Montecito & Goleta — patios, fire pits, pergolas & outdoor kitchens. Designed & built by Clearview Landscaping.
Outdoor Living Spaces in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year — which means your outdoor space isn't an afterthought, it's a primary living area. At Clearview Landscaping, we design and build outdoor living spaces that make the most of this remarkable climate, creating environments that are as functional as they are beautiful.
Whether you're envisioning a built-in outdoor kitchen for entertaining, a fire pit area for evening gatherings, a covered pergola for shade and shelter, or a seamlessly integrated patio that flows from your interior spaces, we handle every element of design and construction in-house. From initial concept through final installation, you work with one team and one project manager from start to finish.
Our outdoor living projects typically combine multiple elements: hardscaping (patios, pavers, retaining walls), soft landscaping (planting, lawn, ground cover), structures (pergolas, shade sails, outdoor kitchens), and lighting. We design these elements to work together as a cohesive system — not a patchwork of separate contractors. The result is a space that looks intentional, functions beautifully, and adds genuine value to your property.
Montecito, Hope Ranch, and the broader Santa Barbara area are home to some of California's most distinguished residential properties. Our work reflects that standard — we use premium materials, pay close attention to architectural compatibility, and bring the same level of craft to outdoor spaces that fine homebuilders bring to interiors. Many of our clients tell us their outdoor space has become the most-used room in their home.
We also design for privacy, acoustics, and microclimate. Santa Barbara's coastal breezes, hillside exposures, and varied lot conditions mean every space is unique. We assess your site carefully before recommending materials, orientations, and plantings that will perform year after year in your specific setting.
Serving residential properties throughout Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta, Hope Ranch, and the Santa Ynez Valley. Learn more about our outdoor living design services or schedule a free consultation — we'll visit your property and show you what's possible.

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.

"Property Value Has Increased"
I have used Clearview on several of my properties for sale. Depending on my clients budget they have been able to modify and customize a plan to get the best curb appeal for the home. Every time my sellers have gone with Clearview the property value has increased the value of their home prior to selling it.
