Flagstone patio with dining tables under a wooden pergola

Hardscape and landscaping in the South Bay, built right

Patios, pavers, concrete, walls and full yard installs. Jaime Hernandez has 30 years in the field and supervises every job himself, from the first stake to the final cleanup.

A big investment deserves a careful builder

A new patio or yard is a big investment, and many homeowners have been burned before: rushed prep, cheap irrigation parts, a job that drags on for months. Jaime has spent 30 years doing it the careful way, with proper prep, quality materials and a clean site, so nothing gets rushed and nothing gets skipped.

How it works

  1. Reach out

    Text, email or send the form. Have a design or photos? Text or email them to us. We reply within two business days.

  2. Free estimate

    Jaime visits, reviews the space and your design, suggests improvements where they'd help, and sends a written estimate in about a week.

  3. We build it

    An experienced crew does the work while Jaime supervises every day, making sure every detail is right. We handle permits and keep the site clean as we go.

30 years of building outdoor spaces

Jaime Hernandez has been building outdoor spaces across the South Bay and Peninsula for 30 years. Most of his work comes from referrals and repeat clients: people who hired him once and came back, or sent their neighbors.

He supervises every job closely, watching for problems and fixing them before they become issues. His crews keep the site tidy as they work, and he's always glad to suggest ways to make a design even better. Hernandez Landscaping is licensed for both landscaping and electrical work, which means one contractor can handle the hardscape, the planting and the lighting.

What clients say

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 25 reviews on Angi

★★★★★

“To be honest, when I saw how much work needed to be done, I was hesitant that things would go back together as they should … I was pleasantly surprised. They removed the pavers from along the back of the patio, pulled out all the old drains … and then put everything back together better than before … including the paver lights in the patio. We are more than pleased. Do I recommend Jaime and his crew … definitely.”

★★★★★

“I have been employing Jaime’s company for over ten years … Jaime and his crew are hard working and very professional. … I have used the Hernandez crew also to put up fences, build small retaining walls, run sprinkler pipe, set up valves and controllers … set flag stones and build French drains.”

William W.

★★★★★

“When I initially called to have them come out to do an estimate, the owner was able to come out a few days later and then scheduled us within a few days after that. They were on time, worked quickly and efficiently and left no debris behind when they were done.”
