One Company for Every Landscape Service You Need
Most yard projects touch more than one trade. A new patio usually needs masonry and drainage. A backyard rebuild might need carpentry, electrical, and planting all in the same summer. Keystone Yards handles all of it under one company, so you're not hiring a mason for the patio, an electrician for the lighting, and a separate landscaper for the planting, then managing three schedules that don't talk to each other. That's the reasoning behind offering landscape services in Napa, CA as one connected group instead of six separate specialties.
That structure also means every service on this page connects back to the same design-build process. Outdoor Design is where most projects start, but carpentry, masonry, landscaping, electrical, and plumbing all get pulled in as needed, coordinated by the same team that wrote your original estimate.
Project size varies just as much as project scope. Some homeowners come to Keystone Yards for a single fire pit and seating area, others for a full backyard rebuild that touches every service on this list at once. Either way, the same estimate process, the same crew, and the same guarantee apply, so a smaller project doesn't get a lower standard of coordination than a larger one.
Design & Build is the model behind every full-scope Keystone Yards project. Instead of hiring a separate design firm and a separate construction crew and hoping their timelines and standards line up, Design & Build means the same company draws the plan, prices it, and builds it, so nothing gets lost in the handoff between two businesses that have never worked together before.
Carpentry covers everything Keystone Yards builds outside the home except swimming pools, from decks and pergolas to fences, gazebos, and trellises. Every structure is built to hold up through Napa's hot, dry summers and wet winters, with framing and footings planned around the actual soil and drainage on your property rather than a generic spec sheet pulled off the shelf.
Landscaping is usually the final phase of a project, covering planting, sod, grading, ponds, and site demolition, the work that turns a finished construction site back into an actual yard. Plant and turf choices are matched to what actually survives Napa Valley's climate, and grading gets sequenced before anything goes into the ground so drainage problems don't resurface a season later.
Masonry is where Keystone Yards handles pavers, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, water features, and stonework for patios, walkways, and retaining walls, sized for projects of any scope across all three counties. Because masonry so often connects to other trades, a gas line for a fire pit or electrical for an outdoor kitchen gets planned in from the start instead of added on after the fact.
Outdoor Design is the first phase of nearly every Keystone Yards project, turning a rough idea for your yard into a custom plan. That includes a full 3D concept so you can see the finished space before construction ever begins, along with pricing for every trade the project will need, so the plan you approve is one you can actually afford to build.
Additional Services
Beyond the five services above, Keystone Yards also provides Outdoor Electrical & Lighting, Exterior Plumbing & Irrigation, 3D Landscape Design, Backyard Renovation, Landscape Designer Services, Front Yard Landscape Design, exterior audio, and pressure washing. These are usually folded into a larger design-build project rather than booked on their own, though a smaller request gets the same real site visit and estimate as anything else on this page.
What You Get With Every Keystone Yards Service
Hiring separate contractors for one backyard project usually means juggling different schedules, different standards, and different people to call when something goes wrong. Working with one company changes that:

How Keystone Yards Handles Any Service You Book
One service or all six, a Keystone Yards project moves through the same five steps:
01. You Tell Us What the Yard Needs
You call or fill out the contact form, and Owen follows up to talk through which services your project actually calls for.
02. Owen Scopes the Work in Person
He walks the property, looks at what each trade involved will need to work around, and puts together a real estimate instead of a rough phone quote.
03. You Approve a Plan, Not a Guess
For design-build projects, this includes a full 3D concept. For single-service work, it's a clear scope and timeline for that specific trade.
04. Your Project Gets Scheduled Across Every Trade It Needs
Once you approve the plan, Owen sequences whichever combination of trades your project calls for, so carpentry, masonry, electrical, and irrigation each happen in the right order instead of crews working around each other on the fly.
05. One Crew Handles the Build
One trade or five, the same crew executes the work in sequence, and your 2-year workmanship guarantee starts the day it wraps.
Napa Homeowners Trust These Landscape Services
Keystone Yards holds five-star ratings on Google, Yelp, and Facebook, along with Better Business Bureau accreditation and a Houzz profile. Whichever service brought you to this page, it's coming from the same team and the same track record, not a subcontractor working under the Keystone Yards name.
Watch the Work Happen, Not Just the Result
A before and after photo only shows two moments. These videos show the actual construction, whichever combination of trades a project needed, so you can see the process behind the finished yard, not just the end result.
A Design-Build Company Behind Every Service on This Page
Keystone Yards operates as Keystone Building Inc., holding CA License #1078372 for General Building and C27 Landscaping. Every service on this page is performed in-house, with Owen personally visiting the site and writing the estimate for whichever combination of services your project needs.
How Every Keystone Yards Project Comes Together
A project starts as a plan, then gets built out into a full 3D concept so you can see it before any ground gets broken. Once you approve that plan, the same team moves into construction, coordinating whichever trades your project actually needs. What's left once the crew wraps is a finished yard that matches what you signed off on, not a rough interpretation of a conversation.
Seeing the Whole Project Before Construction Starts
Every Keystone Yards project gets mapped out in 3D before construction begins, from a single service to a full backyard rebuild touching five trades at once. That planning comes from Owen walking your actual property, not a generic layout applied the same way to every yard.
The Same 2-Year Guarantee, No Matter Which Service You Book
Every service on this page, from a single lighting install to a full design-build project, carries the same 2-year workmanship guarantee in writing. There's no tiered version where certain trades get better coverage than others, and no fine print that treats a single-service project differently from a full backyard rebuild.

Landscape Services Built for Your County's Terrain
A drainage plan that works on a flat lot in Walnut Creek won't necessarily work on a hillside property in St. Helena, and a planting plan suited to Marin's coastal fog is different from one built for inland Napa heat. That same logic carries into Sonoma, Solano, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda counties too, where soil, slope, and microclimate shift from one town to the next. Keystone Yards services are scoped around the actual property in front of the crew, not a one-size-fits-all package applied the same way across eight counties.
