From Rocklin to El Dorado Hills, our licensed and insured team brings meticulous craftsmanship to every property. We understand the local climate, soil, and lifestyle — so every garden thrives where you live.
The Design-Build Process
We consider our clients part of the design team. Between three and five meetings, a Pre-Construction Job Walk, and Daily Updates throughout the build keep you informed at every step — so you can sit back and watch your landscape come to life.
A free on-site consultation where we listen first. Three to five client meetings ensure the design reflects how you actually live.
A Preliminary Review walks you through every line of the plan. Revisions are included for the design you actually love.
Your licensed consultant stays with you as project coordinator — Pre-Construction Job Walk, daily updates, no handoffs, no surprises.
Industry-best textures and stone, outlined on the ground before we break the ground. Substitutions are never made without your approval.

FAQ
The questions we hear most from clients evaluating a luxury landscape design or hardscape contractor in Rocklin, Roseville, and the greater Sacramento region.
As an integrated design-build landscape firm headquartered in Rocklin, CA, Lavish Gardens handles the entire scope under one roof — site analysis, 3D landscape design, MWELO-compliant planting plans, construction, and final handover. Michael Cole personally draws every plan and directs every build across Rocklin, Roseville, Granite Bay, and the greater Sacramento region.
Yes — operating from our Rocklin HQ, Lavish Gardens is a CA-licensed C-27 Landscape Contractor with 35+ years of hardscape experience throughout Sacramento and Placer County. We self-perform structural retaining walls, hand-set natural stone, decorative concrete, and paver installations.
Most full-property design-build transformations in Rocklin, Roseville, and Granite Bay range from $35,000 to $450,000+, depending on scope — hardscape footprint, outdoor kitchens, water features, lighting. We provide a fixed-scope estimate after the design phase so there are no construction surprises.
In the Rocklin and Sacramento market, a traditional designer hands you a plan and then you hire a separate contractor — and the vision often degrades in translation. As a Rocklin-based design-build firm serving the greater Sacramento region, we are both the designer and the licensed contractor. One studio owns the drawing, the budget, the build, and the warranty.
Yes — luxury xeriscaping is one of our four core pillars and a signature of our work across Rocklin and Sacramento. We compose drought-elegant gardens using California natives, decomposed granite, sculptural succulents, and water-smart irrigation — all MWELO-compliant for Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County water requirements.
Lavish Gardens serves Rocklin, Roseville, Granite Bay, Loomis, El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Sacramento, Auburn, Lincoln, Penryn, and surrounding Northern California communities from our Rocklin studio.
No — across Rocklin, Sacramento, and the surrounding Placer County communities, we focus exclusively on new builds and full-property transformations. After handover, we connect clients with vetted Rocklin and Sacramento maintenance partners so the craftsmanship matures into its best decade.
For Rocklin and Sacramento-area properties, design typically runs 3–8 weeks for discovery, 3D renderings, materials, and fixed estimate. Construction ranges from 3 weeks for focused hardscape work to 1–6 months for full estate transformations across Rocklin, Roseville, and the greater Sacramento region. You receive a transparent timeline before any ground is broken.
