Why Sequoia

When you choose Sequoia Outdoor Design & Build, you’re picking a team that truly knows the paver design and installation. Whether it’s a new paver patio, driveway, poolside, garden path, outdoor kitchen, we bring expertise and a commitment to quality that’s hard to beat.

Pavers are the perfect choice—they’re durable, versatile for a range of designs, and easy to maintain. They’re often referred to as “interlocking pavers” because each piece locks together, creating a strong, cohesive surface that can handle heavy traffic and resist shifting. 

Unlike natural stone, they’re cost-effective, and unlike concrete, they’re beautiful and low-maintenance.

Sequoia Outdoor Design & Build is your trusted local paver contractor, right here in San Mateo. We know the local environment, have the best resources, and a dependable team that ensures your project stays on budget and on schedule. Our clients love us for these qualities, and you will too. Let us help you create the perfect outdoor space with reliable paver installations.

1  Create Defined Areas with Pavers

Pavers are an easy way to break up your space and create distinct zones. A seating area here, a garden bed there—it keeps everything neat and functional.

2   Incorporate an Outdoor Kitchen

Why leave the party to cook? An outdoor kitchen means you can grill and prep right in your backyard, keeping everything close while you enjoy the sun.

3   Add Comfortable Seating

A great outdoor space is nothing without cozy seating. Switch things up with weather-resistant sofas, chairs, and maybe even a hammock.

4   Install Mood Lighting

Soft lighting sets the tone for evening gatherings. String lights, lanterns, or even in-ground lights can add ambiance and make your yard feel magical.

5   Integrate Water Features

A fountain or small pond can be the finishing touch that ties everything together. The soothing sound of water will add a peaceful vibe to your space.

6   Consider Sustainable Landscaping

Save water and time by choosing drought-tolerant plants and eco-friendly designs. San Mateo’s climate is ideal for low-maintenance gardens that still look lush.

What Happens After You Get in Touch

We start with a consultation to understand your vision, finalize the design, and provide a detailed estimate.

We remove the existing surface, whether it’s grass, concrete, or something else, preparing the area for your new turf.

We ensure proper grading for drainage and compact a solid base to create a stable foundation for the turf.

The turf is rolled out, positioned, and trimmed to fit your space perfectly, ensuring a seamless, natural look.

We secure the turf along the edges and apply infill to keep the blades upright and provide a soft feel underfoot.

After securing the turf, we inspect everything, make adjustments, and clean up—your new lawn is ready to enjoy!
