Tailored Landscapes Rooted in Santa Barbara Style
A thoughtfully designed landscape is more than just plants and pathways — it’s a living extension of your home, a reflection of your lifestyle, and a lasting investment in your property’s beauty and value. At Mountain View Landscaping, we specialize in custom landscape installations that seamlessly blend form, function, and the distinct character of Santa Barbara.
With over 12 years of hands-on experience, we bring a deep understanding of local climate, soil, and architectural styles to every project. Whether you’re drawn to the breezy elegance of a Mediterranean oasis, the soft romance of an English garden, the sculptural simplicity of a desert xeriscape, or something completely unique, we tailor each landscape to suit your property, taste, and needs.
From natural, native-inspired designs to clean, modern layouts with crisp lines and low-maintenance plantings — and everything in between — we craft outdoor environments that feel intentional, timeless, and uniquely yours.
Bring your landscape to life with expert planting design and installation. Whether you’re creating a lush garden, adding curb appeal, or going drought-tolerant, we carefully select and place every plant to match your aesthetic, soil, and sun exposure. From Mediterranean classics to California natives, a bespoke plant palette yield long-lasting beauty and seasonal color — ideal for homeowners who want their landscape to feel vibrant, intentional, and uniquely theirs.
Weed Abatement
Weeds don’t just detract from your landscape’s appearance — they steal nutrients and water from your plants, and can even pose a fire risk. Our weed abatement services offer long-term solutions for controlling invasive growth, using a combination of manual removal, selective eco-friendly herbicides, mulching, and preventative strategies. This is a smart investment for both residential and commercial properties, especially in high-risk or high-maintenance areas.
Irrigation
An efficient irrigation system is the backbone of a healthy landscape — and water-wise design is essential in Santa Barbara. We install, upgrade, and repair drip and sprinkler systems that reduce waste and keep your plants thriving. From smart controllers to drought-tolerant layouts, we tailor every system to your property’s needs. It’s a foundational investment with high returns in plant health, water savings, and peace of mind.
Drainage
Protect your home and landscape with proper drainage solutions designed to manage stormwater and prevent erosion. Whether it’s grading, French drains, or swales, we assess your property’s unique topography and design systems that quietly do their job while blending seamlessly into the surroundings. Proper drainage is a critical investment for hillside properties or homes with pooling water issues. Drainage isn’t glamorous, but it saves thousands in potential damage.
Sod
When instant gratification meets a lush, green lawn. Sod is pre-grown grass that’s rolled out like a carpet, giving you an instant lawn without the wait of growing from seed. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas, families with kids or pets, or anyone looking to quickly establish a clean, polished outdoor space. We offer a variety of sod types to match your soil, sun exposure, and water needs — and we handle everything from soil prep to final watering. Sod brings instant life and softness to your landscape.
A simple upgrade that delivers big impact. Mulch and decorative bark help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature — all while giving your landscape a finished, cohesive look. We offer a range of textures and colors to complement your style, from rich redwood bark to sleek black mulch. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh your landscape, enhance plant health, and improve visual appeal.
Dry Creeks
Dry creek beds offer a beautiful way to manage runoff while adding a natural, artistic element to your landscape. These stone-lined channels mimic natural waterways, guiding rainwater safely through your yard and reducing erosion. Perfect for integrating function with form, dry creeks are a moderate investment that work especially well on sloped lots or in drought-tolerant designs. We build them to look “intentionally natural” — as if they’ve always been part of the land.
