Bill Doughty Landscaping Inc. Comparative Summary

Few landscape contractors earn the prestigious Diamond Certified award, which means they’ve been independently rated Highest in Quality. Even fewer can also claim a business history that directly coincides with the growth of an entire geographical region, but that’s exactly the case for Bill Doughty Landscaping, Inc. “My father started this business in 1973, before Marin, Sonoma and Napa Counties were really developed,” explains co-owner Bill Doughty. “He essentially grew the company while the North Bay Area was growing, so he was able to build long-term business relationships with many landscape and plant material suppliers, which allows us to buy and provide the best possible products for our customers.”

Bill Doughty Landscaping designs and builds custom landscapes and hardscapes for residential clients in Marin and Sonoma Counties. The company takes a full-service approach to its customers’ landscaping projects, handling everything from lighting to irrigation and drainage. It also installs water features, patios, retaining walls, flagstone pavers and more.

Unlike less experienced landscape contractors that sacrifice quality to complete jobs as quickly as possible, Bill Doughty Landscaping takes a comprehensive approach to project management that ensures every phase of a customer’s project is mapped out before it happens, from product details to installation techniques. “That way, we can minimize mistakes and make sure we’re providing the best possible work,” says Mr. Doughty.

Another distinguishing characteristic of Bill Doughty Landscaping is its highly experienced employees and management staff, all of whom have been in the business for decades and are extensively trained in every aspect of landscaping design and installation. “Our head foreman has more than 25 years of experience, and we have another foreman who’s been with us for more than 15 years,” adds Mr. Doughty. “Our high level of experience allows us to provide top-quality work and shows potential clients how much we care about what we do.”
