Landscape Construction & Design in Sacramento

One team for your entire backyard. We handle the design, the permits, and the heavy lifting so you don't have to. Licensed, bonded, and insured since 2008.

Most Sacramento homeowners are tired of “designers” who hand over a drawing and leave you to find your own crew. South Canyon Construction is different. Dennis and Viktor lead a single team that manages your entire project. We stay on your job from the first day of digging until the final walkthrough.

Whether you live in a Midtown bungalow or a large home in Granite Bay, we build yards that handle the local heat and the thick clay soil. We focus on one project at a time. This allows us to keep our timelines short and our quality high.

Our Landscaping & Hardscaping Services

We are a full-service design-build team. We have the equipment and the license to handle the technical parts of your yard, not just the plants.

Paver Patios and Masonry

We build patios that are sized for real furniture and easy movement. We use high-quality materials like Belgard pavers, stone veneer, and masonry for a look that lasts. We pay close attention to the base compaction. This is the only way to make sure your stones do not shift when the ground gets wet.

Pergolas and Shade Structures

Sacramento summers require real shade. We build custom pergolas and patio covers that are part of your home’s structure. These are not flimsy kits. We build them to handle the wind and provide actual relief from the sun.

Artificial Turf and Low-Maintenance Yards

If you want a green yard without the high water bill, we install high-density artificial turf. We make sure the drainage underneath is correct so you don’t get puddles or smells.

French Drains and Retaining Walls

Many neighborhoods like East Sac and Land Park have major drainage issues due to old pipes and clay soil. We install French drains and surface inlets to move water away from your foundation. We also build engineered retaining walls to create level, usable space on sloped lots.

Saunas and Pool Remodeling

We can help you turn your backyard into a wellness space. We provide sauna installation and pool remodeling services. We handle the gas lines, the electrical work, and the structural changes needed for these high-end features. We also install professional lighting systems from brands like FX Luminaire to make your space usable at night.

Why Sacramento Homeowners Hire South Canyon

Our clients tell us they appreciate four things about how we work:

We Work One Job at a Time.
Viktor and his crew stay at your house every single day until the project is finished. You don’t have to wonder where your contractor is or why the work has stopped.
We Know Sacramento Soil.
The “hardpan” clay in this valley is difficult to work with. We don’t just put dirt over it. We fix the site prep and the drainage first to guarantee your yard lasts for years.
We Handle the Permits.
Dealing with the city or the county can be a headache. Dennis manages the paperwork and the inspections for you.
Built Once, Built Right. We know it is tempting to go with a cheaper, unlicensed crew. However, fixing a sinking patio or a flooded foundation costs much more than doing it right the first time. We focus on the engineering so you don’t have to pay for a “re-do” later.

Our Design-Build Process

Step 1: Design Discovery Session

Dennis meets you at your home. We look at your grading, your drainage, and how you want to use the space. This is a professional assessment of your yard’s needs, not just a sales pitch.

Step 2: Fixed-Price Proposal

We create a dimensioned plan and a fixed-price proposal. We don’t use vague ranges. You will know exactly what the project costs before we start.

Step 3: Construction & Walkthrough

Viktor and the crew arrive at 7:00 AM. We keep the job site clean every day. Once we finish, we walk you through the space to make sure everything is exactly how you wanted it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. We guarantee our hardscape and masonry work for 2 years. If a paver shifts or a structure needs attention due to our installation, we come back and fix it for free.

How soon can you start?
Since we work on one job at a time, our calendar fills up quickly. However, once we start your project, we stay there until it is 100% complete. This usually means a faster total turnaround than contractors who juggle multiple sites.

Are you licensed and insured?
We are a C-27 Licensed Landscape Contractor (#919620). We carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect you and your property.
