⭐️ 5-Star Rated Serving Hollister, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Watsonville, Santa Cruz & Surrounding Areas

Full Landscaping & Yard Cleanup

Overgrown, neglected, or out of control? We'll clear it, clean it, and bring it back. 831 JG Landscaping provides complete landscape cleanup and property clearing in Hollister, Gilroy, Watsonville, and Morgan Hill with over 15 years of experience. From overgrown lots and abandoned yards to full property restorations, our crew handles the whole job — hauling included — and leaves you with a yard you're proud to pull up to.

Why Homeowners choose us

An overgrown property doesn't just look bad — it hides fire hazards, invites pests, kills your curb appeal, and can put you on the wrong side of a county weed abatement notice. Getting it cleared is the fastest, most visible improvement you can make to a property, and it's usually the first step before any real landscaping can happen.

At 831 JG Landscaping, we don't do partial cleanups. We come in with the right equipment and crew size for the job, clear everything down to a clean working surface, and haul it all off the property the same day. Whether it's a quarter-acre backyard buried in blackberry and dead brush or a full lot that hasn't been touched in years, we've done it — across San Benito County and South County for over 15 years.

As a family-owned, licensed and insured landscaping contractor, we show up when we say we will and finish what we start. Your satisfaction isn't just a goal — it's our guarantee.

Our Full Landscaping & Cleanup Services

Full Property Cleanup & Lot Clearing

Whether you're preparing a property for sale, taking over a neglected rental, or finally tackling a yard that got away from you, our full property cleanup service clears the entire site from fence line to fence line. We remove dead vegetation, debris piles, old plant material, weeds, and unwanted growth — then haul every bit of it off so you're not left with a pile in the driveway.

Lot clearing is one of our most requested services in Hollister and the surrounding areas, especially for vacant parcels, weed abatement compliance, and pre-construction prep. We assess the site, bring the equipment the job actually calls for, and give you a flat, clean, usable property when we're done.

Brush Clearing, Trimming & Overgrowth Removal

Overgrowth doesn't stop on its own. Blackberry, ivy, volunteer trees, and untrimmed shrubs will take over a yard in a couple of seasons and turn into a genuine fire and pest hazard. Our brush clearing and overgrowth removal service cuts it back to the ground, pulls what needs pulling, and clears the space so you can actually use your yard again.

We also handle shrub and hedge trimming, small tree limbing, fence line clearing, and cutting back growth around structures, walkways, and driveways. If you've got a section of your property you've been avoiding because you don't know where to start — that's the part we like most.

Fresh Sod, Planting & Mulch

Clearing is only half the job. Once the property is clean, we rebuild it into something finished. Our team installs fresh sod, new plants, shrubs, and trees, and finishes with quality mulch or bark to lock in moisture, block weeds, and give the whole yard a sharp, completed look.

We match plant and sod selections to Hollister's climate and your water situation, so what goes in the ground actually survives. Sod installation includes proper grading and soil prep, planting beds are amended before anything goes in, and every job ends with a straightforward care plan so your new landscape holds up long after we drive off.

Very responsive and reasonable price. Needed concrete driveway ramp to be replaced with a wheelchair gradual slope. He knew what I needed. Came at 7:30am with his crew. One to cut concrete with a circular saw, 2 to use sledge hammer, one to use concrete breaker and one a specialist in smoothing concrete. 2.5hrs to break up and remove 20ft x 4ft 4inch concrete, 2hrs to spread concrete and 2hrs to finish and cleanup. My neighbors are interested now.

Jesús and his crew were absolutely amazing. We had a short-notice desire to cover an existing slab with fresh, proper concrete--something other shops wouldn't do. Not only did they grade it for drainage, even better than we could have imagined, but the existing slab wasn't aligned with the house, being a couple degrees off...they went to the trouble to make the new slab square to the house. Really, really happy with their work.

Jesus did an amazing job helping me plan the landscaping of my front yard and back patio. Then he and his crew came in and did a wonderful job creating a perfect project. Jesus anticipated questions and always checked in with me on decisions. He went "above and beyond" to do a first rate job. I have already recommended him to neighbors and friends.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio & Hardscaping

Here’s what people in Hollister, Gilroy, Morgan Hill & Watsonville often ask us:

How much does landscaping cost?

It depends on the project size and scope. We’ll give you a clear, upfront quote after your consultation.

How long does it take to install sod?

Most residential sod installations take 1–3 days depending on the size of the yard and the amount of prep work needed. Larger properties or yards requiring significant grading and soil amendment may take a few days longer. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation.

Sod vs. seed — which is better?

Sod gives you an instant lawn that’s ready to use in 2–3 weeks, while seeding is cheaper but takes 2–3 months to fully establish and requires much more ongoing care. For most homeowners in Hollister who want immediate results and a reliable outcome, sod is the better investment.

Is artificial turf worth it?

Artificial turf eliminates watering, mowing, and fertilizing costs entirely. In drought-prone California, it can pay for itself in water savings within a few years. It’s especially popular for front yards, pet areas, and commercial properties where a maintenance-free green space is a priority.

When is the best time to lay sod in California?

Spring and early fall are the ideal times to install sod in Central California. The mild temperatures help roots establish quickly without the stress of extreme summer heat. That said, sod can be installed year-round in our climate with proper watering.

How do I care for new sod after installation?

Water your new sod deeply 2–3 times per day for the first two weeks, then gradually reduce to once daily. Avoid walking on it for at least 2 weeks. Wait until the roots are established (about 3 weeks) before the first mow, and cut no more than one-third of the blade height. We provide a detailed care guide with every installation.
