Lawn care & landscaping in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

Yes. Covenant Association approval is built into every landscape project we handle in The Covenant. The Covenant enforces architectural standards that are stricter than any other HOA in the county, and visible landscape elements (plant palette, hardscape materials, exterior lighting, irrigation controller placement, fencing) all require Covenant Association approval before installation. We handle the submission package (design renderings, plant palette specifications, material samples, photo simulations), shepherd the approval through the review process (typically 4-12 weeks depending on scope), and adjust scope as needed to meet committee requirements. We have prior approvals on file for several tested palettes that meet Covenant standards.

Yes. Estate-grade maintenance is the majority of our RSF scope. We hold weekly maintenance contracts on Covenant and Crosby properties with monthly retainers running $1,200-$3,800 depending on lot size and scope. Service runs through experienced horticultural staff with the discretion that ultra-high-end estate property requires: scheduled visits, uniformed crews, careful coordination with estate staff or property managers, detailed monthly reporting on plant health and irrigation status, and the kind of detail work that distinguishes Covenant-standard landscape from standard residential maintenance.

Yes. Equestrian-property coordination is regular in RSF and we work around active horse operations throughout The Covenant and The Crosby. That means scheduling around feed times and turnout windows, keeping crews and equipment well clear of paddock fencing, using only horse-safe plants in any zones horses can reach, handling the heavier mulching and weed control that ranch fire-planning requires on the larger parcels, and coordinating with property managers, estate staff, and trainers depending on the property structure. Most equestrian RSF properties run weekly maintenance with quarterly heavier visits for fire-clearance and native-plant cleanup.

Design-build projects on RSF estate properties run $80,000-$500,000+ depending on scope. Most projects include extensive hardscape (regional stone walks and walls, decomposed granite paths, custom water features, formal terraces), full irrigation design with weather-station integration and soil-moisture sensors, lighting design coordinated with structural lighting, mature-specimen tree installation, and detailed planting plans matched to the architectural styling. We work with landscape architects on the larger projects, handle Covenant Association submissions, and complete installation on phased schedules over 12-24 weeks.

Most RSF estate properties run weekly year-round because the standard of presentation requires it. Quarterly heavier visits handle seasonal pruning, mature-tree management, citrus and avocado-grove coordination where applicable, irrigation system tune-ups, fountain and water-feature service, and the detailed plant-health work that estate landscape requires. Some Covenant properties add storm-recovery visits after weather events. We tailor each contract to the actual property rather than a one-size default.
