Website Builder for Sunnyvale Landscapers and Landscape Designers

A lot of Sunnyvale landscape work isn't for a single homeowner. It's for HOAs, apartment communities and office campuses. Those clients care about rules and deadlines as much as plants, and one big deadline is coming in January 2027. A landscaping site that speaks to them can bring in contracts a typical homeowner-focused site never sees.

The 2027 turf deadline for HOAs and commercial sites

Starting in January 2027, California bans watering grass that nobody uses (decorative "non-functional" turf) on commercial and institutional properties and in common areas managed by homeowner associations. Many Sunnyvale HOAs and business parks will need a plan before then. A dedicated page that explains what counts as non-functional turf, what you replace it with, and how Valley Water's commercial rebates (up to $100,000 per site) can offset the cost gives property managers a reason to call you now.

Sunnyvale rules your homeowner clients will ask about

  • Protected trees. Removing a private tree needs a permit if its trunk is 38 inches or more around at 4½ feet up, or, for multi-trunk trees, if any trunk is 38 inches or the trunks total 113 inches or more.
  • Sprinklers. Sunnyvale has an online permit for installing exterior irrigation sprinklers. Replacing the water meter at the sidewalk means a trip to the One-Stop Permit Center.
  • Recycled water. Parts of Sunnyvale have non-potable recycled water for irrigation, which matters for larger commercial landscapes.

Mentioning these in your process ("we check the tree and irrigation permits for you") is a small detail that wins careful clients.

Build these into your Sunnyvale landscaping website

  • An HOA and commercial turf replacement page built around the January 2027 deadline
  • A tree work and replanting section covering protected-tree permits
  • An irrigation page that covers drip conversions and sprinkler permits
  • Your CSLB C-27 license number in the footer
  • A consultation-request form with a "residential / HOA / commercial" choice

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2027 turf rule mean for Sunnyvale landscapers?

Starting in January 2027, California bans watering non-functional turf on commercial properties and HOA-managed common areas. Sunnyvale HOAs and business parks will need replacements, and Valley Water offers commercial rebates of up to $100,000 per site. A page explaining your plan and timeline gives property managers a clear reason to contact you.

When does a tree removal need a permit in Sunnyvale?

A private tree in Sunnyvale is protected if its trunk measures 38 inches or more in circumference at 4½ feet above the ground. A multi-trunk tree is protected if any one trunk is 38 inches or the trunks total 113 inches or more. Removing a protected tree requires a city permit, so check before you design around it.

Do I need a permit to install sprinklers in Sunnyvale?

Sunnyvale issues an online permit for installing exterior irrigation sprinklers. Replacing the water meter at the sidewalk requires a visit to the One-Stop Permit Center. Saying on your website that you handle irrigation permits shows homeowners and HOAs that the job will be done by the book.
