Why Choose Us

When you choose Medallion Landscape you can be assured you have chosen a company that will enhance and beautify your property.

25 Years of Service

For over 25 years, Medallion Landscape has been serving the Bay Area. Medallion Landscape Management, Inc. was founded with the belief that clients not only deserve high quality landscape services but also top-notch customer service. This belief has led us to be the Bay Area’s leading commercial landscape contractor since 1995. Medallion is a full-service landscape contractor; managing maintenance, enhancements, pest control, and installation for multi-family residential and commercial properties. Going above and beyond for our customers has been the Medallion Standard for over 25 years.

Environmentally Conscious

Medallion Landscape puts the green footprint to work with regards to sustainability. Below is a list of examples of the eco-friendly practices we currently perform.

  • Recycled mulch made from 100% recycled lumber.  
  • Mulching mowers
  • Green waste is 100% recycled through composting
  • Conversion of existing controllers to EvapoTranspiration controllers
  • Irrigation is scheduled to reduce runoff and waste.
  • Separate metering of landscape water and domestic water where appropriate
  • Wood header boards are replaced with plastic header boards, which are made from recycled plastic bottles and wood fibers.
  • Intergraded Pest Management (IPM)
  • Planting and maintenance of trees:  attract wildlife, add privacy to living areas, clean the air of pollutants, reduce runoff and erosion, reduce carbon, reduce cooling costs by providing shade, and increase property values by approximately 7%.
  • Xeriscape:  the practice of mowing, weeding, pruning, and fertilizing properly.  Planting for water conservation; planting turf of manageable size and shape using appropriate grasses; use of mulch and soil amendments; efficient irrigation.
  • Create turf free areas around trees, to reduce the need to overwater lawns, and to compensate for the competitive growth area around trees.
  • Install separate water meters for landscape use
  • Install permeable pavement so that water is allowed to percolate into the grade instead of being carried off into the storm drains system.
  • Replacement of inefficient irrigation components with newer more water
  • Replacement of annual color with perennials and other decorative plants that do not require frequent replacement, which reduces maintenance costs.
