Landscaping in Clovis, CA: Full-Service Design & Build
One company for the entire Clovis yard
Clovis sits right next door to our Fresno office, so it is one of the easiest markets for us to reach and one we work in constantly. From the older streets around Old Town to the fast-growing new subdivisions spreading northeast toward the foothills, we design and build yards for the whole city.
We are a full-service, design-build landscaper, which for a Clovis homeowner means one company for the entire yard. Custom design, outdoor kitchens, patios and pavers, masonry, artificial turf, irrigation and drainage, lighting, tree work, and fencing all come from our own in-house crews, not a chain of subcontractors.
Why Clovis Homeowners Call Us
Clovis has a distinct mix of long-established streets and brand-new tracts, and the calls we get reflect both:
New-construction homes that came with a dirt yard
A huge share of Clovis growth is newer subdivision housing, and those homes are very often handed over with nothing but graded dirt front and back. Owners want a finished yard that matches the house. We build the whole thing: hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, and often an outdoor living area, so a new Clovis home finally has a usable outdoor space.
HOA-friendly designs that still get approved
Many newer Clovis neighborhoods have HOA landscape standards, and homeowners want a design that clears approval without looking like every other yard on the street. We design to those standards while keeping the plan distinctive, and we build it to hold up, so it looks good the day it passes and years later.
Outdoor living for larger lots
Newer Clovis homes often sit on generous lots with room for real outdoor living. Outdoor kitchens, covered patios, fire features, and pavers are frequent requests here. We design these as one connected space rather than a pile of add-ons, so the finished yard works as a whole.
Landscaping Conditions in Clovis
Clovis shares the valley heat but has a few local wrinkles worth planning around:
Foothill edge, valley heat
Clovis sits a little higher than central Fresno, around 360 feet, on the eastern side of the valley as the land starts to rise toward the Sierra foothills. Summers are still long and hot, well into the triple digits, so heat-tolerant planting, real shade, and efficient irrigation matter as much here as anywhere in the region. We plan every Clovis yard for that summer, not a mild spring day.
New-tract soil and grading
On newer Clovis lots, the ground is usually compacted, graded builder dirt, sometimes with construction debris worked in. That has to be dealt with properly before planting or paving, or the yard will settle and drain badly later. We prep and grade the soil, plan drainage, and build patio bases correctly instead of laying finish work over problems.
HOA standards on the newer streets
A lot of Clovis subdivisions carry HOA rules on front-yard landscaping, materials, and even plant palettes. It is easy to design something that gets rejected. We work within those requirements from the start so your project moves forward smoothly and does not stall on approval.

Why Specialty Landscape in Clovis
Design and build under one roof
We are a true design-build company, which means the same team that draws your plan also builds it. On a Clovis new-build, that matters, because coordinating separate trades and an HOA submittal yourself is exactly the headache one accountable company removes. Our own crews do the work, so one company owns the schedule, the quality, and the result from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Licensed, bonded, and genuinely local
Specialty Landscape holds an active C-27 Landscape Contractor license (CSLB #1058363), carries a contractor bond, and keeps workers’ compensation coverage active. We are a Fresno-based company with deep roots in this region, award-winning across the Central Valley, and easy to reach when you need us, not a national brand routing your call somewhere else.
Next door, so we show up
Clovis is right beside our Fresno base, so getting to your property, following up, and keeping a job on schedule is easy for us. You are not waiting on a crew driving in from a distant city. That closeness is part of why so much of our work happens right here in Clovis and neighboring Fresno.
Honest Advice for Clovis Homeowners
If you just bought a new-construction Clovis home, resist the urge to rush planting into raw builder dirt. The right sequence is grading and soil prep, then drainage and irrigation, then hardscape, then planting. When those steps happen out of order, or get skipped to save money, the yard settles unevenly, and drainage problems show up in the first wet winter. Doing it in the right order the first time is cheaper than fixing it twice.
The other thing worth saying: on a new home you are often juggling several trades at once, so get the landscape scope in writing and itemized before work starts. A clear, line-by-line proposal is how you compare bids honestly and avoid the surprise change orders that show up when a low number left the details vague. We put the scope in writing up front for exactly that reason.

Clovis Landscaping FAQs
Do you handle HOA landscape requirements in Clovis?
Yes. Many newer Clovis neighborhoods have HOA landscape standards, and we design to them from the start so your plan clears approval. If your HOA has a submittal process, we build the design to fit its material and plant requirements.
My new Clovis home just has dirt. Can you do the whole yard?
That is one of the most common projects we do in Clovis. We handle everything from grading and drainage through irrigation, hardscape, planting, and lighting, so a bare new-build lot becomes a finished front and back yard.
Is artificial turf a good choice in Clovis?
For many Clovis yards, yes. It cuts water use and summer maintenance and holds up to the heat when it is installed over a proper base. We handle removal, base, and installation so it drains correctly and lasts.
How soon can you get to a Clovis project?
Clovis is right next to our Fresno office, so it is one of our quickest markets to schedule. Timing depends on the season and the size of the job, and the calendar is generally more open outside the peak summer months.
