Creative Image Landscaping offers a variety of landscape construction services to homeowners in Solano, Napa and Yolo Counties. The company takes a full-service approach to its clients’ outdoor living projects, handling everything from garden design to irrigation system installation, and it’s also qualified to build hardscaping products like concrete pathways and custom water features.
Owner Ron Lechuga says much of Creative Image Landscaping’s success can be attributed to its personalized service and commitment to customer satisfaction. “Being a small company allows us to focus on the details of each project, which our clients really appreciate. When they step into their newly renovated yards and feel overwhelmed with excitement, we know we’ve done our job.”
Creative Image Landscaping’s wide-ranging capabilities allow its customers to complete every phase of their landscaping projects at once, which Mr. Lechuga says makes for a smoother and more efficient process. “We don’t use subcontractors for things like pavers, masonry and decorative concrete—it’s all done by me and my team. With our expert craftsmanship and industry knowledge, we’re able to produce high-quality installations that are built to last.”
“We go above and beyond to provide our clients with the best possible landscape construction services. We believe landscaping isn’t just about maintenance—it’s about transforming outdoor spaces into living works of art. A thoughtfully designed landscape can enhance both the beauty and functionality of a property, so that’s what we strive to achieve with every project.”
If you’re planning a landscape construction project, you can benefit greatly from adding hardscaping elements.
Hardscaping is comprised of constructed features, often made of concrete or stone, that accent landscaping. This might include paths, walls, water features, patios and seating areas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, arbors, lighting, and other practical or decorative structures. Here are a few reasons to consider adding hardscaping to your landscape construction project:
Create usable space. Outdoor kitchens, seating areas and patios, fireplaces, and lit areas will help you expand the amount of usable space in your yard and give you things to do in that space. With hardscaping, a dark, cold corner can become a warm, welcoming place to gather with friends.
Increase property value. Well-designed hardscaping can greatly increase your home’s value. Especially in California, where mild winters allow for year-round outdoor living, hardscaping areas can increase curb appeal, expand your usable space and retain your investment over time.
Expand living space. Adding square footage to your home can be expensive, but adding an outdoor room is often less expensive than a home addition. Outdoor kitchens, patio seating, arbors, fireplaces, and extended porches create functional spaces that are beautiful and useful.
Define space. Large backyards can sometimes feel overwhelming. Instead of an expanse of bland lawn, hardscaping areas with defined seating, protection from the sun and elements, and gathering spots can help define yard space in a way that feels customized and comfortable.
Limit maintenance. Hardscaping can work with your landscaping (particularly water-friendly gardens and xeriscaping) to create areas that don’t need to be mowed, watered or weeded. This can conserve water and save you a lot of time.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a key priority for any successful business, but it’s even more important for landscape contractors that have earned Diamond Certified. For Creative Image Landscaping, keeping clients happy is all about taking a personalized approach to their projects, regardless of the size. “Nowadays, it seems like customer service is distant most of the time, which is why we take an old-school approach,” says owner Ron Lechuga. “When someone calls our office, they don’t get an automated system—we make ourselves available to talk to our clients whenever they need us, which they really appreciate.”
Creative Image Landscaping has been providing landscape construction services for residential clients in Solano, Napa and Yolo Counties since 2002. In addition to handling everything from irrigation system installation to garden design, the company has the training and equipment to build concrete pathways, custom water features, and other hardscaping products.
Unlike less experienced landscaping companies that are forced to bring in subcontractors to handle certain aspects of their customers’ projects, Creative Image Landscaping handles every phase of the landscape construction process in-house. “Whether it’s pavers, stonework or block masonry, my guys and I do it all,” affirms Mr. Lechuga. “This means our clients only have to deal with one company instead of several contractors, which makes things a lot easier for them. They know exactly who’s responsible for the outcome of their projects.”
Ultimately, Mr. Lechuga sees Creative Image Landscaping’s ability to completely transform its clients’ yards as its most important attribute. “People are often overwhelmed with happiness when we finish their project—they can see the attention to detail in everything we do, which makes the job that much better,” he says. “By taking the time to understand what our clients really want, we’re able to provide them with personalized service that makes the end results truly special.”
