Modern Landscaping, Inc. has been building award winning garden estates in Palo Alto and neighboring communities since 1971. Founded by Klaus Hertzer, a celebrated designer, Modern Landscaping has since become a cornerstone of the landscaping community. Each year Modern Landscaping is recognized for excellence on the local and state level, including the prestigious Sweepstakes Award from the California Landscape Contractors Association for the “Best project in California”.

By 2003 Mike Hertzer took over as president, continuing and expanding the long tradition of excellence. With a dedicated staff knowledgeable in irrigation, masonry, carpentry and horticulture, each project unfolds to its full potential, regardless of the size or challenge of the terrain.

Modern Landscaping specializes in water features and hardscapes- working with stones and boulders to set the tone for the garden’s transformation. From waterfalls that dazzle to old stone walls flowing with plant life, Modern Landscaping will make your vision come to life.
