Reliability Redefined: Your Trusted Partners in Excellence
Our Story
Vista Landscaping is a family-owned and purpose-driven company headquartered in San Mateo, CA since 1982.
After emigrating to California and years learning the trade, our founder Carlos Salazar, decided to strike out on his own and begin his own business. Together with retired landscape architect, Tom Rauchwerger, this partnership built what the business is known today in the San Francisco Peninsula. Tom provided the designs and direction, believed in creating landscape design solutions which are aesthetically pleasing, functionally correct, and with the client’s budget.
Carlos had true knowledge in the field showcasing his talent through numerous projects gaining loyal clientele over the decades. Carlos shared his passion with his sons who joined him to ensure the company continued to thrive for years to come.
After his passing in March 2023, his son Gerardo will continue his father’s legacy alongside his dedicated team to carry on Carlos’ commitment to providing their customers great quality work and service.
Vista Landscaping of San Mateo has been featured in SUNSET Magazine and has been voted the “Best” in the San Mateo Times Reader’s Choice Award.
