Tahoe Outdoor Living

Lake Tahoe is a precious resource and we need to do our part to maintain the clarity of the Lake and keep our rivers and streams healthy for wildlife. As our region continues to grow and gets more and more visitors each year, it is critical that we take care of the Tahoe Basin for future generations. Our landscape designs achieve multiple benefits by not only looking amazing, but work for your family's needs and help protect the Lake and local streams. Tahoe Outdoor Living has a well-stocked nursery and display garden that's ready for you to explore.

Our diverse selection of trees and shrubs are boosted by weekly and monthly deliveries to maintain our high standards, and we offer only the healthiest plants. We are fully stocked with vibrant annuals, hardy and adaptive perennials, drought resistant natives, ground covers and grasses. Our popular, and hard to find, natives go fast so make sure to visit us soon. We stock Mule Ears, Indian Rhubarb, Asters, California Fuchsia, and Mountain Pride. We also have the popular, and highly sought after, Creeping Buttercup and Blue Flax.

We will design a structured, easy to maintain outdoor living space specifically for your family. At Tahoe Outdoor Living we offer a wide range of exciting hardscape features. Phyllis, our hardscape expert, will take care of everything from permitting to landscape design to the final installation. With years of experience and a great working relationship with our local County and TRPA agencies, Phyllis will get the job done right the first time. In the design stage, we will work closely with you to meet your goals and needs for your ideal integrated outdoor living space.

Our crews can handle any job, small or large, residential or commercial. Not only will our team mow and trim but they will also monitor for issues on your property, including problems with your garden beds, irrigation leaks, and water run-off concerns. We pay attention to the little details to help maintain the health and beauty of your plants and lawns. Let us maintain your garden so that it is ready to be enjoyed by you and your family year round.

At Tahoe Outdoor Living, we have an experienced team of sprinkler technicians who are Certified Landscape Water Managers. We specialize in full sprinkler installation and repair. Irrigation, especially drip systems, need to be regularly checked to ensure that they are running as efficiently as possible. In the high alpine environment of Lake Tahoe, everything from wildlife tampering with lines and or weather related issues such as hard freezes damaging emitters and fittings can impair your irrigation system.

At Tahoe Outdoor Living, we combine structural landscaping design elements with the beauty of our existing natural environment. Our contemporary designs recognize that today's clients want unique natural landscapes that are environmentally friendly, easy to maintain, and incorporate sustainable practices. Tahoe Outdoor Living offers a variety of landscape services from new installations, including irrigation systems and complete renovations to simple improvements. Whether you want to add a few new shrubs and trees to compliment your landscape or a complete makeover, our team can 'bring your dreams outdoors.'

At Tahoe Outdoor Living we have a deep knowledge of how to care for the plants that thrive in the Lake Tahoe basin. In South Lake Tahoe, we have multiple microclimates to consider and it takes experience to understand them and know what works. We have that experience. Let us do the work while you relax! Enjoy your garden as it matures and blossoms to its full potential under the professional care of our gardening experts.
