Benchmark Landscape Companies

Benchmark Landscape Construction was founded in 1984 to provide landscape installation services to San Diego's homebuilders. In the early days, we estimated projects on a kitchen table in Santee and stored our equipment in a garage in Tierrasanta. From the very beginning, Benchmark was focused on delivering quality landscaping and exceptional service. Our goal was to build a reputation based on high quality workmanship, value and completing the job on time. We also wanted Benchmark Landscape Construction to be a great place to work - providing good wages and opportunities for all employees.

As we grew, we recognized the importance and value to providing landscape maintenance services to our existing clients as well. Quality landscape installation and maintenance went hand in hand.

Benchmark Landscape Construction grew rapidly during the 1980s. The economy was great and the home building industry was booming. Our company had succeeded in making a name for itself as a leading contractor for installing and maintaining Model Home landscaping.

In the early 1990s, the company ownership structure changed and the name changed to Benchmark Landscape. The economy was tough. "Stay alive 'til '95" was the motto around the industry. As a team, we became more organized and efficient at what we did. The result was, we managed to survive our first recession. This restructuring of operations helped prepare us for the second half of the '90s - another growth period for Benchmark.

In 1999, Benchmark moved into our new home, an 18,000 square foot professional industrial facility on1.5 acres in Poway. The business plan all along was to focus on San Diego County, with a mission to be San Diego's premier landscape contracting firm.

As the company continued to grow, the need for a North County yard was evident. Benchmark Landscape opened a 1.1 acre yard in San Marcos in 2005. The company had always planned to effectively service San Diego from three locations. Commute time to employees, drive time for crews and fuel costs had been escalating.

Benchmark Landscape is opening our 1.3 acre Spring Valley yard in early 2007. Today, after more than two decades of setting the standard in quality maintenance and installation services, the company continues to build upon its solid reputation for quality, service and value.
