Commercial landscaping is the landscape around a business: the planting and trees, the sprinkler and drip lines, the concrete, the turf and the lighting. Select Landscape builds it for new buildings around Bakersfield, and repairs it or adds to it at properties that are already open.
This is project work, new landscapes and repairs, not weekly maintenance.
Why Select Landscape?
One company for the whole job
The concrete, the irrigation, the planting and the lighting are planned together and built on one schedule.
Licensed for landscaping and concrete
Select Landscape holds California's C-27 landscaping and C-8 concrete classifications, and has been licensed since 2015.
Scheduled around your hours
The work is planned around your business hours.

New landscapes

Business properties and California's lawn watering law
California's AB 1572 ends watering decorative lawn with drinking water, on a date set by the kind of property:
Property
Drinking water on decorative lawn ends
Certifying to the State every three years starts
Public properties, school districts included
January 1, 2027
June 30, 2029
Commercial, industrial and institutional properties
January 1, 2028
June 30, 2030
Homeowner association common areas
January 1, 2029
June 30, 2031
Certifying applies where 5,000 square feet or more is irrigated, and the State has not issued the form yet.
Decorative lawn is grass nobody uses: strips around a parking lot, lawn along a sidewalk or a building edge, the grass in a median or around an entry sign. Cal Water's rule of thumb is that if the only time people walk on it is to mow it, it probably counts. Trees, lawn watered with recycled water, and lawn people actually use are exempt.
The grass does not have to come out by then, but it cannot be watered with drinking water. The usual answers are artificial turf or planting on a drip system, and we install both.
The rules already in force apply in the meantime. Cal Water bans watering from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on every day for every customer, and the City of Bakersfield has kept mandatory restrictions on its own water system since 2021. A controller set to your water company's hours keeps a Bakersfield property within the rules.

“Julio and his team did such an efficient job! We needed several bushes cleared from our property within a tight timeframe. Communication with Julio was easy and straightforward. He was able to come out quickly to provide a quote and complete the work just a few days before our opening. We truly appreciate their speed and quality of work. The clearing ended up looking great!”
“Julio has been absolutely outstanding!! We have had a challenging time with a particular area on my property and he has been so gracious and perseverant with trying to solve it. He has come out several times and has never asked for a dime for his extra time. Talk about going the extra mile. His service is impeccable, pricing is very fair, and the work done right. I can not say enough good things about this company. Give them a try ... you'll be so happy you did!”
“Fantastic experience working with select landscape! The team was professional, reliable, and did an amazing job on our yard. Everything turned out better than we imagined. Highly recommend!”
