Everything Included in Your Custom Landscape Build
Picture a landscape where every visit feels like a grand entrance and every view from the road sparks envy and praise. At Keystone Yards, a custom build is more than plants and stones. It's the defining feature of your property, tailored to your style and built to improve how you actually live outdoors.
Leveraging deep knowledge of Northern California's climate and topography, our team of Napa landscape builders constructs outdoor spaces that are visually striking and genuinely functional. This page covers everything included in a full custom build. If you want to see how our design process itself works, from 3D visualization to our design-fee-credit offer, visit our Design & Build page.
Custom Hardscaping Solutions
We design and build durable stone patios, retaining walls, and walkways that hold up to Northern California's weather. Every project is tailored to your property's layout, boosting both function and home value. Full detail is on our masonry services page.
Native Plant Installation
We select native and drought-tolerant species suited to Napa's climate, requiring less water and less upkeep. This eco-friendly approach creates a vibrant look that supports local wildlife.
Water Feature Construction
From custom ponds to cascading fountains, we build water features that become the focal point of the landscape, designed with precision and long-term durability in mind.
Outdoor Lighting Design
We install energy-efficient lighting that highlights your landscape after dark, extending both safety and beauty into the evening. Lighting is also covered alongside plumbing and gas line work on our additional services page.
Sustainable Irrigation Systems
We design smart, water-saving irrigation tailored to Napa's dry seasons, keeping your landscape lush while conserving resources year-round.
Pergola and Structure Building
We construct custom pergolas, gazebos, and shade structures that blend into the landscape and give your property a functional gathering space. Our carpentry services page covers the full range of what we build.

Continued Engagement & Followup
