Commercial & Residential Landscapingin Palo Alto, CA.

Full-service commercial and residential landscaping — estate gardens, retail grounds, hardscape, and smart irrigation across California.

Premier residential renovations and ADU construction for Professorville estates, tech-founder homes, and Stanford-adjacent properties.

JMG's landscaping division serves both sides of California: estate gardens and outdoor living for residential clients, and grounds programs for retail centers, campuses, and commercial properties — from the Bay Area to Sacramento, and San Francisco to San Diego.

In Palo Alto and across Santa Clara County, JMG delivers landscaping under California Contractor's License #1007864 — permitted, inspected, and personally overseen by owner Jerry Guinn. Drought-tolerant conversions, smart irrigation, architectural lighting, and hardscape are engineered for beauty and for California's water reality — installed and maintained by the same in-house team.

Palo Alto's Development Services center on Hamilton Avenue runs one of the Bay Area's most detailed review processes — and Professorville or Downtown North projects can trigger historic review. Eichler and mid-century homes get period-correct detailing; new work gets full Title 24 energy coordination. JMG handles the paperwork so your schedule survives it.
