Creating Healthier, More Enjoyable Landscapes in Santa Maria, California
A yard rarely fails all at once. It fades where water pools, where the soil was never graded right, or where plants went in without a plan. Craig started Cullen Landscaping to fix problems like these from the ground up, and 32+ years later we still handle every Santa Maria, California, Orcutt and Central Coast project the same careful way. We design, install, and maintain complete outdoor spaces, from irrigation and drainage to patios, sod, and shade trees. One owner stays accountable from the first walkthrough to the final cleanup, so the yard you picture is the one we actually built for you.

Theresa M.
With our schedules, we just don’t have time to maintain our yard the way we would like to. I always assumed we wouldn’t be able to afford a gardener. We had our first bi-weekly service with Cullen Landscaping last week and they did an amazing job! I can’t tell you how nice it is to have someone do a great job, but also at an extremely reasonable price! It was the best feeling to come home from work and have our yard look so nice. Best decision we’ve made!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between landscape design and landscape installation?
Design is the plan, where beds, hardscape, grading, and plants go and how they work together. Installation is the build, turning that plan into a finished yard. We handle both in-house, so nothing gets lost between the two stages.
When is the best time to landscape a yard on the Central Coast?
Fall and early winter are ideal here. Cooler soil and coming rains help new plants establish with far less irrigation, and the yard is torn up when you use it least. That said, we plant and build year-round across Orcutt.
Should irrigation go in before or after landscaping?
Before. Installing sprinklers and drip lines first lets us plan water coverage around your plants and avoid trenching through finished sod and beds later. It also lets us catch drainage issues early, before they turn into pooling or runoff.
How long does new sod take to root?
Shallow roots usually form within the first ten to fourteen days, while deeper roots take about six weeks to establish fully. Warm conditions speed this up. Consistent watering during those early weeks matters more than anything else for a healthy lawn.
