Twenty Years of Bay Area Yards
Founded in San Jose in 2003 by Walter Agosto. One licensed crew for the whole yard, from the irrigation under it to the walls holding it up.
One crew, one license, the whole yard
Agosto Landscape & Construction started in 2003 as a small San Jose gardening operation, and grew the way a landscape company should: one finished yard and one referral at a time. Two decades later we are still locally owned and still working many of the same neighborhoods, which is a useful kind of accountability. Bad work does not stay hidden when you drive past it every week.
What changed along the way is scope. Clients kept asking whether we could also pour the patio, build the wall holding up the slope, replace the fence, or set the deck, and rather than hand them off we got licensed and built the crews to do it. Today the same company handles the soft side of a yard, the turf, sod, planting, and irrigation, and the hard side, the pavers, concrete, block walls, fences, decks, and gazebos.
Our standard is the same across both: get the part nobody sees right. Compacted base under turf and pavers. Reinforced footings and a drain to daylight behind a retaining wall. Posts set in concrete at proper depth. Irrigation zoned around what plants actually need. Do that, and the visible part takes care of itself for years.
Every project gets a free on-site estimate, an itemized written scope with a start and finish date, and a final walkthrough before the last invoice. Your second job with us is 15% off, which is our way of saying we would rather earn the next project than mark up this one.
What we stand for
Six standards we hold ourselves to on every project — big or small.
Right From the Base Up
Proper depth, proper compaction, proper drainage, every time.
Straight Answers
Itemized estimates, honest timelines, and plain talk about what a yard does not need.
Our Own Crew
The people who quote the job are the people who build it.
Kept Schedules
A start date, a finish date, and crews that show up on both.
Built and Maintained
We install landscapes and we keep them, week after week.
Respect for the Property
Tidy staging, same-day debris haul-off, and a swept street.
A better service experience, by design
Generic promises are easy. We focus on the habits that actually make the difference.
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
A clean, predictable process so you always know what's next.
Free On-Site Estimate
We walk the property, check grade, drainage, and irrigation, and tell you plainly what the yard needs and what it does not.
Written Scope
Materials, base depths, square footage, and price, itemized with a start and finish date. Free, and good for 30 days.
The Build
Our own crew does the work on the schedule we agreed to, with the site swept and the debris hauled at the end of every day.
Walkthrough & Handoff
We walk the finished yard together, fix anything on your list, and hand over watering schedules and care notes before the final invoice.
