About the Owner


My name is Richard, and I am the owner of A Cut Above Landscape Maintenance, Inc..   I have been married for 28 years, and my wife and I have two children.  We also have a fun-loving, mixed-breed Labrador dog who has outlived all the goldfish.

I began my business in residential and commercial maintenance as a young entrepreneur. That was 30 years ago.  Since then, we’ve seen a lot of changes in Southern California’s water conservation, design options, and technology.

Water Manager

My specialization in irrigation and my certification in water management have proven invaluable. All those years of landscape maintenance have also given me a unique perspective on design.

  • I know where to advise clients to prioritize their efforts and investment.
  • I know how to help clients envision how plants will perform over the years (in varying conditions).
  • I know what it takes to create landscapes that are environmentally sound and visually stunning.

Our clients have come to depend on our craftsmanship, creativity, responsiveness and proven skill.  Contact us or call office (949) 643-2178 cell (949) 291-7871 and find out what we can do for you.
