Tyler
Owner
Landscaping, for me, started as a Summer job that I looked forward to each year, and developed into a business when I couldn’t find anything that I liked to do better. Sequoia started from a desire to be in the outdoors, work with Big Boy toys like excavators and skid steers, and develop yard spaces into everything from quiet, back yard havens, to bustling and vibrant entry areas. Through the years, I have been extremely fortunate to attract talented builders, designers, horticulture enthusiasts and associates that share the same passions, and get the same satisfaction for each completed project. I love to meet new people and hear the stories of their space, discuss possibilities of what their landscaping can become, and unveil the changes. It’s a great feeling when people really USE the space created.
