About Us
Four Seasons Landscaping was founded in 1986 by Stephen Darrison with a simple belief—if you treat people right and do the work with care, the rest will follow. What began as a family operation has grown into one of California’s most trusted landscape partners—now carried forward by the next generation, with the same hands-on ownership and commitment at its core.
Today, that foundation still shapes everything we do. We are a family-run company that values long-term relationships, exceptional customer service, and a level of accountability you only get when ownership is deeply involved in the work. Our teams are built in-house ensuring consistency, quality, and pride in every project.
