About Select Landscape

Hi, I'm Julio

I grew up in this trade, working weekends and summers beside my father. This work is my passion, and I put my heart into every job. My job is to take what you picture for your yard and build it.

Built from a lifetime in the trade

Select Landscape may have officially become a licensed contracting company in 2015, but our roots in landscaping go back much further.

Our story began in the 1980s, when my father started working in the landscaping industry. He worked for several landscaping companies, learning the trade from the ground up before eventually going out on his own in 2000.

For me, landscaping was never just a job I decided to get into. It was something I grew up around.

As a kid, weekends and summers were spent working alongside my dad. I learned by doing: digging, irrigation, planting, concrete, grading, cleanup, and all the hard work that goes into transforming a property. Before I ever had a contractor's license, I had already spent years working in the field and learning how projects actually get built.

In 2015, I earned my California contractor's license and started building Select Landscape into a company of my own.

Why Select Landscape?

The name Select Landscape represents the kind of company I wanted to build: a company homeowners could select for the entire outdoor project rather than having to coordinate multiple contractors.

Over the years, our work has expanded beyond traditional landscaping into complete outdoor construction, including concrete, hardscape, irrigation, drainage, outdoor living spaces, patio covers, grading, artificial turf, and full landscape transformations.

Today, Select Landscape combines the hands-on experience passed down through my family with modern construction methods, equipment, design, and professional project management.

We haven't forgotten how the business started. We still believe in showing up, working hard, building things correctly, and treating every property as if our name is going on it, because it is.

    Summers, weekends, and time away from school are spent helping my dad on landscaping projects. What starts as helping the family business becomes years of real-world experience.
