Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, everything is more expensive. Food, clothes, activities, and of course, housing. As one of the most expensive places to buy and own property in the world, keeping your home, yard, and outdoor space looking as good as possible is important.
While I would never suggest that you should keep up with the Joneses, you don’t want your home to stick out as the ugly duckling of Oakland. And that’s where top-rated landscaping companies come in. Often within just a few hours or a couple of days, a good landscaping company can overhaul your yard and transform your outdoor space into the oasis of your dreams.
But how do you know which companies to call? Luckily for you, we did the research for you!
We’ll start off by looking at a few of the best large-scale companies in the area that are highly rated on Angi and can handle all of your landscaping needs from the ground up. Then we’ll take a look at a couple of Taskers from TaskRabbit that are perfect for smaller jobs around your yard.

Arguably the best TaskRabbit Tasker in the entire Oakland and San Francisco Bay Area is Nicholas S. Sort of a jack of all trades, Nicholas S has completed over 250 tasks while mainitnaing a 5-star rating. He’s currently working on obtaining his Landscape Contractor’s License, so you’ll be in good hands if you call on him to do some work around your yard.
Unlike most Taskers that focus only on small jobs, Nicholas S. can handle just about any landscaping service you need done. This includes landscape design and construction, plant disease and pest identification and remediation, irrigation design and installation, weeding, lawnmowing, fertilizing, and more.
Due to his qualifications, experience, and the sheer number of services he offers, Nicholas S. is a bit more expensive than some other options in the area, charging $113/hour for these sorts of tasks.
If you’re looking for a combination of quality and quantity, look no further than Bradford K. from TaskRabbit. This Tasker has completed more than 550 total tasks (285+ of which were landscaping) and has still maintained a perfect 5-star rating. On top of that, he’s also a decent amount more affordable than the previous profile, charging just $90/hour.
Bradford is a certified permaculture designer, meaning he has experience designing landscapes and properties to get most out of them. In addition to his design work, Bradford puts his detail-oriented skills towards weeding, trimming, mowing, pruning, and more. So if you have some small tasks around your yard or need some landscape design done, Bradford is a great option.
