Best In Silicon Valley

2023 Best Landscaper R&J Landscaping Since 1999, R&J Landscape design has been making Silicon Valley beautiful with custom design, installation and maintenance services for the residents and businesses who again voted the Best Landscaper in Silicon Valley. What keeps us relevant and separates us from other companies is that a good majority of our team members have been with us since day one," says owner Randy Miller, who began the business in 1999. Among them Miguel Jimenez and Ryan Weibel, pictured here with Randy. "We are focused on maintaining the integrity of our work from job to job." Randy is quick to point out that R&J's services extend far above and beyond basic lawn and garden maintenance. While some people may associate the term landscaping with basic mow-and-blow service, R&J does a great deal more than that. "With us, it's planning, design, construction and installation of entire landscape and hardscape projects," he says. This includes choosing the right kinds of plant life that will thrive in a particular area as well as irrigation, structures and firebreaks for defensible space. "We do anything that's incidental to landscaping and hardscape design for residential and commercial clients," says Randy. "We will install front and rear storm doors as part of a project. We've done hardscapes and xeriscapes as well as completely covered porches, the installation of outdoor heating systems and construction of planter walls that double as seating walls." By committing to provide the best and most comprehensive services that community members expect, Randy innovates on a regular basis, including adding new technology and equipment to accommodate clean-air requirements. "We just made our first bulk purchase of $50 thousand in new equipment and we're working on outfitting all the trucks so that the teams can charge and maintain battery power they need for their jobs," says Randy. As related to landscaping, Randy can provide in-depth descriptions of the benefits and costs of the clean-energy legislation recently passed by voters.
