Petrus Landscaping transformed our steep hillside yard with beautiful features like a stone staircase, pond, tiered garden beds, and drought-tolerant planting with an automated drip system. The team was professional, thoughtful, and delivered results beyond what we imagined.
Jenny Stewart
I have been working with Ward, Gabe and their team of gardeners at my clients estate for the past 5 years. I have found them to be reliable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of landscapes. They certainly know their plants, and have been instrumental in bringing a fine level of detail to the estate I manage. Their team of gardeners are respectful, attentive, and go above and beyond to create the well manicured gardens that the estate requires.

Ward and his team completed two complex projects for our Silicon Valley client at their Sunnyvale campus. One involved redesigning a large atrium’s hardscape, requiring careful weekend transport of heavy materials through a newly renovated cafeteria—executed flawlessly without disrupting operations. They also revamped the main entrance planters, replacing an unsatisfactory installation with a more elegant and formal design. Their work is always thoughtful, precise, and completed with minimal disruption. We trust Petrus Landscaping for all large-scale projects, knowing they deliver exceptional results every time.

Brian D2023-06-15 We are happy to have found Ward and team to care for our estate property. They are professional, knowledgeable and keen to work with client ideas flexibly. Ward and Gabe have also stayed personally hands on with our property since day one to make sure we are getting what we need. They currently service our property weekly, but no job is too big for them as they also renovated our 12K sqft backyard area with lawn and planted grasses and did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier to recommend them to anyone with a need for custom, quality landscaping and maintenance. Chintan Mota2023-04-22 We worked with ward and his team for a big project on our estate and their team did a fantastic landscape design for us. Definitely one of the best estate landscaping company in Bay Area James D.C. Thomas2023-04-10 Petrus has provided years of quality, professional landscape design and services. The Petus team is knowledgeable and mindful when working with clients. The team is always efficient and timely in their maintenance. I would recommend Petrus to anyone seeking exceptional gardening and landscaping resources. Cathy Mahoric2022-10-11 I am very happy with the service I receive from Petrus landscape. They are not just mow and blow gardeners, they take care of very specific things for me. We have different plants, trees shrubs, that all need different care and maintenance. They are very careful and thoughtful when doing their work. I also ask them to do larger projects to help redesign my landscape walkways, add vegetable gardens, etc. They are a real pleasure to work with and are very professional and detailed, always willing to address my questions and make sure things get done correctly. Because of that I have a beautiful yard and it makes me very happy. I highly recommend! NC2022-10-07 Excellent services provided by Ward and his team! They are skilled in their craft and dedicated to providing immaculate service! 5+ stars please! hernando quintero2022-09-30 Amazing service, really enjoyed working with the Petrus team to help us set up and keep the landscape in our properties looking stunning! Trinh Tu Stewart2022-09-28 We went with Petrus Landscape to renovate our yard, which haa a steep incline hill. With their clever and versatile designs, we got a very beautiful staircase and upper platform up to the top of the hill, tiered garden beds, a dry creek river into a pond, and a stone wall laid by hand. All the plants were carefully selected to be drought tolerant and hooked up an automate drip system to help save the most on water. We were very happy with how considerate and timely the project went along, the crew was very professional and informative. We would always be asked for input and any changes we wanted. All in all, we got a beautiful new yard, better than we imagined. Highly recommend them to work on your backyard renovations. Carmen Jiron2022-09-26 Ward and his team completed two different projects for our client, a large Silicon Valley company at their Sunnyvale Campus, which included redesign of the hardscaping in a very large atrium and required white gloving transportation of heavy material through a newly renovated cafeteria with new floors without any harm done in the process all during weekend hours. It was a tricky and delicate operation that they pulled off without having any affect on the company’s operations which was a key requirement of the project. They also redesigned and replanted to make a more elegant and formal statement to the new patio planters at the company’s main entrance that was just freshly planted by the resident landscape maintenance company but was just not to the clients’ liking. They carry out their work with thought, care and precision to get the job done right the first time with the least amount of fuss. We will collaborate with them on all our large scale projects indoors and out knowing they have the qualifications, expertise and experience to pull it off and make everyone involved look good in the process.
