Built to entertain
Folsom backyards get used: outdoor kitchens, covered seating and fire features turn a yard into the main living room from spring to fall.
3D landscape design & build · Folsom, CA
Folsom backyards, HOA-ready.
Folsom homes, especially in newer neighborhoods like Empire Ranch and Folsom Ranch, tend to come with HOA rules, sloped lots and serious summer sun. David designs your yard in 3D so your HOA and your family can see it first, then his own crew builds it to hold up.
Why Folsom is different
What we plan for here.
HOA design review
Patio covers, front-yard changes and turf often need HOA approval. A drawn plan with renders gets through review faster than a sketch.
Sloped lots
Hillside lots need retaining walls, steps and drainage planned with the patio, not added after.
Know before you build
Folsom rules & rebates.
Local rules that change what you can build, and programs that can save you money. Checked against official sources.
Oak trees
Folsom protects native oaks (coast live, blue, valley and interior live oak). A City tree permit is needed to remove one, cut limbs 2 inches or larger, remove more than 10% of the canopy, or build pools, additions, grading or trenching in a protected tree's root zone (Folsom Municipal Code, Chapter 12.16).Source: City of Folsom: Arborist Services FAQ
HOA approval
Most newer Folsom neighborhoods have architectural review. DG Landscape Design provides the plan and renders your HOA asks for before work starts.
Water programs
Most of Folsom is served by the City of Folsom. Check its current water-efficiency programs before planning around a rebate, and get approval before removing any lawn.
Last checked September 2026. Programs and rules change; confirm with the agency before you start.
