Franco's Landscaping team at work in San Diego

Our Story

Built on Hard Work, Rooted in San Diego

Franco's Landscaping is a family business built over two decades — from a single property in Rancho Santa Fe to serving clients all over San Diego County.

From One Property on Hawk View Drive to All of San Diego County

Franco's Landscaping started not as a company, but as a dream and a father's dedication. Jose Franco began this business in the early 2000s as a side hustle, maintaining a single property in Rancho Santa Fe. When that homeowner moved to Encinitas, they asked him to continue caring for their new property — a true testament to his quality of work and character. Over time, word spread along Hawk View Drive, and one by one, neighbors began hiring him. Before long, he was servicing over 10 houses on that same street, all through trust, consistency, and the kind of care only someone passionate about their craft can deliver.

When Eduardo was 12 years old, his dad started bringing him along on Saturdays. Those weekends weren't just about landscaping — they were about learning work ethic, pride, and the value of doing things right. Through his teens and early adulthood, Eduardo explored different paths, from working at a horse ranch to accounting and finance, but landscaping was always home base. In 2019, he obtained a contractor's license and began expanding the business on evenings and weekends. By 2022, he took the leap — leaving his full-time job to dedicate himself 100% to the business his dad had started two decades earlier.

Today, Franco's Landscaping proudly serves clients all over San Diego County. Our client list includes well-known names like U-Haul, Taco Bell, Frost Hardwood, countless property managers, and many individual homeowners — and we remain just as committed to each one as we were on that very first property in Rancho Santa Fe. Our roots run deep, built on hard work, family values, and a genuine passion for transforming outdoor spaces into something special.
